Most of my favorites of his were from the ‘70s though…
 
“Well it’s a rainy night in Paris, and I’m sitting by the Seine. It’s a pleasure to be soaking in, the European rain…”
 
“…It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long. ‘If you wanna have a hit, you gotta make it fit,’ so they cut it down to three-oh-five.”
 
“I believe I’ve passed the age, of consciousness and righteous rage - I found that just surviving, was a noble fight.”
 
“Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies, and the king and the queen of the prom, - (BUM BUM!) - riding around with the car top down and the radio on…”
 
“Got a call from an old friend, we used to be reeeal close… Said he couldn’t go on the American way…”
 
God I’m such a fanboy…

Actual lyric is:
 
And he’s quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke…

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday.  
Regular crowd shuffles in.  
There’s an old man sitting next to me,  
Making love to his tonic and gin.
 
He said, “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!”
 
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
 
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
 
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!
 
Now John, at the bar, is a friend of mine.  
He gets me my drinks for free.  
And he’s quick with a joke, oughta light up your smoke,  
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be.
 
He said, “Bill, I believe this is killing 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!”
 
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
 
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
 
Now Paul is a real estate novelist  
Who never had time for a wife,  
And he’s talking with Davey, who’s still in the navy  
And probably will be for life.
 
And the waitress is practicing politics  
As a businessman slowly gets stoned.  
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness,  
But it’s better than drinking 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 coming 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,  
Saying, “Man, what are you doing here?”
 
La, la-la, de-de-daa-aaa
 
La-la, de-de-daa, da-dom
 
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 sad day and I know I’m old when I see posts saying people don’t know Billy Joel.
