Live At Yankee Stadium

Billy Joel Live At Yankee Stadium Lyrics
1.Shout

What's up ya'll
(Owwww)
It's Left Eye on the track
(Owwww)
My girl T-Boz over to my left
(Owwww)
Chilli is on my right
(Yeah)
We gonna teach ya'll to shout
(Owwww)
Unhh
(Owwww)
Check it out
(Owwww, yeah)
What's up
What's up

Ooh
Same damn time every hurt or two
Something can happen to put me in the mood
Keep it inside till I turn dark blue
Trash everything I ever gave to you
Wrote it on the front of your Lexus Coupe
Didn't want to leave you with a lame excuse
Sex so good turns love to abuse
Do you wanna leave I'll put you in a noose

It's not just when I'm in bed
Sometimes it's so frustratin'
I keep it all in my head
Till I just can't take it no more
It's not just when I get mad
Sometimes it's cuz I'm so glad
That you are near me now
I just have to get it out

Chorus:
Shout!
You gotta let me get it out
You gotta let it go away
Don't wanna spend another day
Unless I feel like you make me
Shout!
You gotta let me get it out
The feeling won't go away
Don't wanna spend another day
Unless I feel like you make me
Shout!

Found somethin' in your pocket
And I don't know why
I didn't say nothing' just sat and cried
Got me twisted all out inside
Not too long before the next ride
Over and over and over again
Instead of lettin' out I always let it in
This is where the confusion begins
Cuz if it don't make me you don't win

It's not just when I'm in bed
Sometimes it's so frustratin'
I keep it all in my head
Till I just can't take it no more
It's not just when I get mad
Sometimes it's cuz I'm so glad
That you are near me now
I just have to get it out

Chorus

Baby just tell me what you wanna do
I can't help bein' in love with you
Cuz sometimes I need you to turn me out
Cuz that's what lovin' is all about
Baby just tell me what you wanna do
I can't help bein' in love with you
Cuz sometimes I need you to turn me out
Cuz that's what lovin' is all about
Yeah

Check it
I knew that it was only time
Before my rhymes
Would dig into my mind
And get crazy out of line
I do my best
To never disrespect
My girls from TLC
All my friends don't let me
Speak my love and peace
It's all about
In this world with a doubt
Is you down for the count
Do your hoes still amount
To the price that we pay
To remain up in this crucial game
Call it a test
A game of chess
Let's play
Me and you one on one
Breakin the ice
Till the water runs
Down my face like a chase
Now do you hear the guns
Here I come and won't quit
Until the job is done
Quiet storms will inform you
That I've just begun
Tippin' the spot till it's hot
If you want what I got
See me down to the top dot com
And keep it comin' with your best shot
If you're short I care alot
And let's not

Chorus

Chorus


2.Storm Front

Vocal:Billy Joel/Mick Jones/Richard Marx

Safe at harbor, everything is easy
Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast
Now I'm restless for the open water
Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast
They told me to stay, I heard all the information
I motored away and steered straight ahead
Though the weatherman said

CHORUS
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
Small craft warning on the radio

I've been sailing a long time on this ocean
Man gets lonesome, all those years at sea
I've got a woman, my life should be easy
Most men hunger for the life I lead
The morning was gray, but I had the motivation
I drifted away and ran into more
Heavy weather off shore

CHORUS

We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze
We've got a falling barometer and rising seas
We've got the cumulonimbus and a possible gale
We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale

I'm still restless for the open water
Though she gives me everything I need
She asked me to stay, but I'd done my navigation
I drove her away, but I should have known
To stay tied up at home

CHORUS


3.New York State Of Mind

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the
neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line-
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their
limousines,
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens,
But I know what I'M needing and I don't want to waste more time-
I'm in a New York state of mind.

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues,
But now I need a little give and take,
The New York Times, the Daily News...

It comes down to reality-and it's fine with me 'cause I've let
it slide,
Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside,
I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind-
I'm in a New York state of mind.

REPEAT 3RD VERSE

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line-
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind.


4.I Go To Extremes

Vocal:Billy Joel/Mick Jones

Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight

CHORUS
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will

CHORUS

Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?

CHORUS

No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes


5.Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an ole man sitting next to me
Making 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'

*(Sing us a song you're a piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you're got us feeling 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 a smile ran away from his face
'Well, I'm sure that I could be movie star
If I could get out of this place'

*(repeat)

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 practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking along

*(repeat)
