Ah, soul
*grins*
The Stranger
Billy JoelWell we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and
Show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They’re the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them onWell we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?Don’t be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You’ve done it, why can’t
Someone else?
You should know by now
You’ve been there yourselfOnce I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
That I could not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason
She refused to even answer
It was then I felt the stranger
Kick me right between the eyesWell we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?Don’t be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You’ve done it why can’t
Someone else?
You should know by now
You’ve been there yourselfYou may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
But he isn’t always evil
And he is not always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You’ll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.Oi and stop whistling you lot
Accident Waiting to Happen
Billy BraggI’ve always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
That’s the way I am, heaven help me
He said, “We don’t like peace camapigners ’round here”
As he nailed another one to the wall
And that’s what gets me in trouble, heaven help meGoodbye and good luck to all the promises you’ve broken
Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you’ve spoken
Your life has lost its dignity, its beauty and its passion
You’re an accident waiting to happenThere you are standing in the bar
And you’re giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you
get older
One of these night you’re gonna get caught,
And She’ll give you a pregnant pause for thought
You’re a dedicated swallower of fascismTime up and time out
For all the liberties you’ve taken
Time up and time out for all the friends that
you’ve foresaken
And if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion
You’re an accident waiting to happenMy sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep’s clothing
In this carnival of carnivores,
Heaven help meI don’t want to change the world
I’m not looking for a new EnglandI am always on the right thread.
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn’t ring, I knew it wasn’t youyou need help
By smoking, are you including illegal substances, or just tobacco?
With their reputation for shooting down the wrong things, I fear we may end up with green cheese spread across the whole of the Atlantic.
For Love
