人间百态-- （去酒吧的原因～）
绝对经典！
这是Billy Joel早期在酒吧讨生活的时候，写的一首歌，也是他第一首受欢迎的歌曲，Piano Man 后來变成 Billy Joel的一个绰号。
歌道出了酒吧里的人生百态，每个人的身上都有一个故事，一个也许辛酸也许无奈的故事，
一个老人的故事
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"
John（bar tender ） 的故事
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"
像不动产一样的作家 Paul 和 在海军服役的dave 的故事
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Dave who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
小蜜蜂们与客人的故事
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
许多人到酒吧的人其实就是为了排遣寂寞 “They are sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone..”.
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 也许这也是去酒吧的另一个原因吧“To forget about life for a while”
