There's a place in the world for the angry young man
With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl, And he's always at home with his back to the wall. And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost, And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man. Give a moment or two to the angry young man, With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand. He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood, It's a comfort to know his intentions are good. And he sits in a room with a lock on the door, With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor And he likes to be known as the angry young man. I believe I've passed the age Of consciousness and righteous rage I found that just surviving was a noble fight. I once believed in causes too, I had my pointless point of view, And life went on no matter who was wrong or right. And there's always a place for the angry young man, With his fist in the air and his head in the sand. And he's never been able to learn from mistakes, So he can't understand why his heart always breaks. But his honor is pure and his courage as well, And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man. Yes, there's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl, And he's always at home with his back to the wall. And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost, And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man. |

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close Said he couldn't go on the American way Closed the shop, sold the house Bought a ticket to the West Coast Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A. I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone I never said you had to offer me a second chance I never said I was a victim of circumstance I still belong, don't get me wrong And you can speak your mind But not on my time They will tell you: you can't sleep alone In a strange place Then they'll tell you: you can't sleep With somebody else But sooner or later you sleep In your own space Either way it's okay You wake up with yourself I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone |

They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation In cathedrals of our own Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes And I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we'll argue and we'll compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience Our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity A reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives With our respective similarities It's either sadness or euphoria Oh! Oh, oh! |

Well we′re living here in Allentown
And they′re closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they′re killing time Filling out forms Standing in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we′re living here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it′s getting very hard to stay Well we′re waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real Iron and coke And chromium steel And we′re waiting here in Allentown But they′ve taken all the coal from the ground And the union people crawled away Every child had a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But something happened on the way to that place They threw an American flag in our face Well I′m living here in Allentown And it′s hard to keep a good man down But I won′t be getting up today And it′s getting very hard to stay And we′re living here in Allentown |

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and West of the Rio Grande Well, he started with a bank in Colorado In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid And his age and his size Took the teller by surprise And the word spread of Billy the Kid Well he never travelled heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put many older guns to shame And he never had a sweetheart And he never had a home But the cowboys and the ranchers knew his name Well he robbed his way from Utah to Oklahoma And the law just could not seem to track him down And it served his legend well For the folks they love to tell 'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town Well, one cold day a posse captured Billy And the judge said, ''"String 'im up for what he did."'' And the cowboys and their kin Like the sea came pourin' in To watch the hangin' of Billy the Kid Well he never travel'ed heavy Yes, he always rode alone And he soon put many older guns to shame Well he never had a sweetheart But he finally found a home Underneath the Boot Hill grave that bears his name From a town known as Oyster Bay, Long Island Rode a boy with a six-pack in his hand And his daring life of crime Made him a legend in his time East and West of the Rio Grande |

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies And she only reveals what she wants you to see She hides like a child But she's always a woman to me She can lead you to love She can take you or leave you She can ask for the truth But she'll never believe you And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free Yeah, she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind And she'll promise you more than the Garden of Eden Then she'll carelessly cut you And laugh while you're bleedin' But she'll bring out the best And the worst you can be Blame it all on yourself 'Cause she's always a woman to me Oh, she takes care of herself She can wait if she wants She's ahead of her time Oh, and she never gives out And she never gives in She just changes her mind She is frequently kind And she's suddenly cruel But she can do as she pleases She's nobody's fool And she can't be convicted She's earned her degree And the most she will do Is throw shadows at you But she's always a woman to me |

We met as soul mates
On Parris Island We left as inmates From an asylum And we were sharp As sharp as knives And we were so gung ho To lay down our lives We came in spastic Like tameless horses We left in plastic As numbered corpses And we learned fast To travel light Our arms were heavy But our bellies were tight We had no home front We had no soft soap They sent us Playboy They gave us Bob Hope We dug in deep And shot on sight And prayed to Jesus Christ With all of our might We had no cameras To shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe And played our Doors tapes And it was dark So dark at night And we held on to each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we′d write And we would all go down together We said we′d all go down together Yes we would all go down together Remember Charlie Remember Baker They left their childhood On every acre And who was wrong? And who was right? It didn′t matter in the thick of the fight We held the day In the palm Of our hand They ruled the night And the night Seemed to last as long as six weeks On Parris Island We held the coastline They held the highlands And they were sharp As sharp as knives They heard the hum of our motors They counted the rotors And waited for us to arrive And we would all go down together We said we′d all go down together Yes we would all go down together |

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway.
I saw the Empire State laid low. And life went on beyond the Palisades. They all bought Cadillacs and left there long ago. They held a concert out in Brooklyn To watch the island bridges blow. They turned our power down, And drove us underground, But we went right on with the show. Oooh. Oh Oh Ooh. I've seen the lights go out on Broadway. I saw the ruins at my feet. You know we almost didn't notice it. We'd see it all the time on 42nd Street. They burned the churches up in Harlem, Like in that Spanish Civil War. The flames were everywhere, But no one really cared: It always burned up there before. Ooh. Oh Oh Ooh. I've seen the lights go out on Broadway. I watched the mighty skyline fall. The boats were waiting at the Battery. The union went on strike: They never sailed at all. They sent the carrier out from Norfolk, And picked the Yankees up for free. They said that Queens could stay. They blew the Bronx away, And sank Manhattan out at sea. You know those lights were bright on Broadway, But that was so many years ago: Before we all lived here in Florida, Before the Mafia took over Mexico. There are not many who remember; They say a handful still survive To tell the world about The way the lights went out, And keep the memory alive. |

Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away fromnyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myeself a world and it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless...shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this... It's out of my hands I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless Shameless... |

We walked on the beach beside that old hotel.
They're tearing it down now, but it's just as well. I haven't shown you everything a man can do, So stay with me baby, I've got plans for you. This is the time to remember, Cuz it will not last forever. These are the days to hold on to, Cuz we won't although we'll want to. This is the time But time is gonna change. You've given me the best of you, And now I need the rest of you. Did you know that before you came into my life, It was some kind of miracle that I survived. Some day we will both look back and have to laugh. We lived through a lifetime, and the aftermath. This is the time to remember, Cuz it will not last forever. These are the days to hold on to, Cuz we won't although we'll want to. This is the time But time is gonna change. I know we've gotta move somehow, But I don't want to lose you now. Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by Without even seeing each other at all. But this is the time you'll turn back to and so will I. And those will be days you can never recall. And so we embrace again behind the dunes. This beach is so cold on winter afternoons. Ah, but holding you close is like holding the summer sun. I'm warm from the memory of days to come. |

Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I'm rocking you to sleep The water's dark And deep inside this ancient heart You'll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it's time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we'll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on... They never die That's how you And I Will be |

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I′m sorry Sunday came and trashed me out again I was only having fun Wasn′t hurting anyone And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change I′ve been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alive So you said that only proves that I′m insane You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you′re looking for Turn out the light Don′t try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right Remember how I found you you there Alone in your electric chair I told you dirty jokes until you smiled You were lonely for a man I said take me as I am ′Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you I might be as crazy as you say If I′m crazy then it′s true That it′s all because of you And you wouldn′t want me any other way You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you′re looking for It′s too late to fight It′s too late to change me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you′re looking for Turn out the light Don′t try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right |

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 upon 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 steadys 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 Steady 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. |

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sitting next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, 'Son, can you play me a melody? I'm not really sure how it goes but it's sad and it's sweet And I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes' * Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's someplace that he'd rather be He says, 'Bill, I believe this is killing me.' As the smile ran away from his face 'Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place' Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone *repeat It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, 'Man, what are you doin' here?' |
