Piano Man vs. Model Man


























































































































































































It's nine oclock on a SaturdayIt's nine oclock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles inThe regular tools on the mat
There's an old man sitting next to meThere's a Gundam laying next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and ginWith a head nowhere to find
  
He says, son, can you play me a memory? It says, man, can you build me a brand new head?
I'm not really sure how it goesI'm not really sure where it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it completeBut it's white and it's red and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothesWhen I was shrink-wrapped and boxed
  
La la la, de de daLa la la, de de da
La la, de de da da daLa la, de de da da da
  
Sing us a song, you're the piano manBuild that Zaku, I'm the model man
Sing us a song tonightFinish that Gouf tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melodyWell, I am in the mood for a Sazabi
And you've got us feelin' alrightCause it's got me feelin' alright
  
Now John at the bar is a friend of mineNow I open a box, it's a King Tiger
He gets me my drinks for freeIt came with a figure for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smokeAnd I'm quick with a snap-fit to check with those seams
But there's someplace that he'd rather beBut there's a part that never fits
He says, Bill, I believe this is killing me.I says, Jesus, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his faceAs the smile ran away from my face
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie starWell I'm sure that it could be a masterpiece
If I could get out of this placeIf it's not coming from Dragon
  
Oh, la la la, de de daOh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da daLa la, de de da da da
  
Now Paul is a real estate novelistNow I'm try'n to build my old Tornado
Who never had time for a wifeI never had time for the wings
And he's talkin' with Davy who's still in the NavyAnd I'm playin' with them, sweeping back and forth
And probably will be for lifeAnd they are falling apart
  
And the waitress is practicing politicsAnd those resin parts are soaking in Swipe
As the businessmen slowly get stonedAs the Mori Mori slowly get cured
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call lonelinessYes, they're sharing a corner they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' aloneBut it's better than being alone
  
Sing us a song, you're the piano manBuild that jet plane, I'm the model man
Sing us a song tonightFinish a tank tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melodyWell, I am in the mood for a Ferrari
And you've got us feelin' alrightCause it's got me feelin' alright
  
It's a pretty good crowd for a SaturdayIt's another fruitless night for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smileAnd the Gundam's laughing at me
cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to seecause he knows that it's me they've never get done
To forget about life for a whileonly playing with them for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnivalAnd the Destiny, it sounds like an advocate
And the microphone smells like a beerAnd the F-16s preach like judges
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jarAnd they sit on the shelf and point fingers at me
And say, man, what are you doin' here? And say, man, what are you doin here?
  
Oh, la la la, de de daOh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da daLa la, de de da da da
  
Sing us a song, you're the piano manBuild that plamo, I'm the model man
Sing us a song tonightFinish a kit tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melodyWell, I am in the mood for another one
And you've got us feelin' alrightCause it's got me feelin' alright

    [版主回覆10/30/2008 11:40:00]不如你唱啦,你個 blog 人流多,嚇走十零個人都仍然人丁旺盛;我這邊就買少見少囉

  4. 好似幾有趣,我同意 Ya Ya 兄所講, 一係你唱個歌唱版比我地聽下啦 ~
    [版主回覆10/30/2008 11:46:00]你都見我個 blog 不同你那個,沒有一編置頂的 disclaimer。如果我這裡放歌的話,恐怕要學你置一編頂,標題寫著「歡迎瀏覽以下我的網誌 (不過嚇死冇命陪)」

    [版主回覆10/31/2008 11:03:00]經濟差,要未雨綢繆,又要各出奇謀,現在準備多一範,第時踎街拉二胡都揾多個錢
