Billy Joel tix

[Susquehanna Birder]

"Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" is a great song.

Agreed. All the stuff he wrote trying to get into Ms. Brinkley's pants is just goofy.

He did "Italian Restaurant" during the encore.

One of the more interesting parts of the show: He invited one his roadies - names "Chainsaw" up on the stage to sing "Highway to Hell." They did a pretty damned fine version of it, too.

Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant Lyrics

A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I-face to face

A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends on your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Things are okay with me these days
Got a good job, got a good office
Got a new wife, got a new life
And the family's fine
We lost touch long ago
You lost weight I did not know
You could ever look so good after
So much time.

I remember those days hanging out
At the village green
Engineer boots, leather jackets
And tight blue jeans
Drop a dime in the box play the
Song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights
My sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the
Popular steadies
And the king and the queen
Of the prom
Riding around with the car top
Down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer
Or was more of a hit at the
Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more
Than that out of life
Surely Brenda and Eddie would
Always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddy were still going
Steaday in the summer of '75
when they decided the marriage would
Be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda you know you're much too lazy
Eddie could never afford to live that
Kind of life."
But there we were wavin' Brenda and
Eddie goodbye.

They got an apartment with deep
Pile carpet
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought
With the bread
They had saved for a couple
Of years
They started to fight when the
Money got tight
And they just didn't count on
The tears.

They lived for a while in a
Very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter
Of course
And they parted the closest
Of friends
Then the king and the queen went
Back to the green
But you can never go back
There again.

Brenda and Eddie had had it
Already by the summer of '75
Fromhe high  to the low to
The end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to
The greasers
The best they could do was
Pick up the pieces
We always knew they would both
Find a way to get by
That's all I heard about
Brenda nd Eddie
Can't tell you more than I
Told you already
And here we are wavin' Brenda
And Eddie goodbye.

A bottle of red, aa bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.

Hey, Summer, Highland Falls is one of the best songs many people never heard.

I used to bang a girl from Highland Falls in college..... Man, was she hot. That's a cool little town, too. Very scenic.

Are you chicks really still talking about Billy Joel?

[SunMo]

are you really still talking about the queers talking about Billy Joel?

[rjs246]

Yes

[SunMo]

ok, terrific

[rjs246]

Sun, I'm curious about what percentage of your posts are direct responses to my posts. I'm guessing somewhere around 65%. Whatdya think?

[SunMo]

honestly, i think it's because most of the time, you are the only one posting , like right now.  it's either respond to whoever is posting or do work.  what would you do?

[rjs246]

Interesting point. Carry on.

[SunMo]

but now i'm sad, you've hurt my feelings. 

[rjs246]

Well don't cry about it for christs sake. It was merely an observation and one of my many underhanded attempts at drawing attention to how hard I rule.

[SunMo]

you scarred me.  i'm not going to respond to any more of your posts.

starting...now.
