附上Piano Man的歌詞與註解:
PIANO MAN
by Billy Joel, 1973
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"
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
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 some place 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"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
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
Chorus
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?"
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus
這首歌是Billy Joel早年在鋼琴酒吧討生活,描寫酒吧裡的人生百態的記錄,是他第一首受歡迎的單曲。Piano Man 後來變成 Billy Joel的綽號。曲中道出了許多到酒吧的人其實就是為了排遣寂寞:They are sharing a drink they call longliness, but it's better than drinking along.

歌詞 單字/文句參考解釋:
shuffles in
| 湧入
| Makin' love to his tonic and gin
| 玩弄著他的琴酒(通常這酒叫做gin and tonic是加了無糖汽水的琴酒,應該是有專門的譯名,可是我不常逛酒吧,所以不知道)
| When I wore a younger man's clothes
| 當我還年輕的時候
| I believe this is killing me.
| (在酒吧工作)我相信是在耗費我的生命
| real estate novelist
| 寫關於房地產的小說家,也有可能是指他整天都坐在酒吧裡寫小說(像不動產)
| the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
| 指女服務生在討好(或勾引)商人顧客,讓他愈來愈醉(stoned是被丟石頭,俗語就是醉酒)以多得些小費或是希望能夠被看上。
| put bread in my jar
| 應該指的是把小費(是他賴以為生的收入)放進他的琴上的罐子裡,不是真的麵包
| And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?
| 顧客大都是喜歡聽他的歌才到酒店裡來,放了小費後對他說你不該在這裡混(應該有更好的發展)。
