Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Piano Man

Billy Joel

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday

The regular crowd shuffles in

There's an old man sittin’ next to me

Makin’ love to his tonic and gin

He says

Son can you play me a memory

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

Lah lah lah

Diddy lah lah

Lah lah

Diddy lah

Di lah

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’ all-right

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 killin’ me

As a 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

Oh lah lah

Diddy lah lah

Lah lah

Diddy lah

Di lah

Now Paul is a real estate novelist

Who never had time for a wife

And he's talking with Davy

Who's still in the Navy

And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicin’ politics

As the businessmen slowly get stoned

Yes they're sharin’ a drink they call loneliness

But it's better than drinkin’ alone

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 feeling all-right

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 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 doing here

Oh lah lah

Diddy lah lah

Lah lah

Diddy lah

Di lah

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 feeling all-right
