Billy Joel!!

[Squeamous]

Oh yeah, no problems.

That one is easily the best I've heard from him.

I catch your sense of brightening at the chorus relative to the rest of the song (I like Sundays, for lots of reasons) but don't find the rest of it as affecting, I don't think...I just can't put my finger on what others like about him, nor can I identify the absolute source of my antipathy.

Luckily this isn't the only thing in life I find baffling.

A bit like religion maybe

Yeah, you got that whole "hugging short people whilst sitting" thing to work out too...

Well, I like the hugs - it's more a matter of venue.

I'm okay with that.

Everybody knows that Leonard Cohen is pure genius.


Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that youve been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows youve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
Thats how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when youve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joes still pickin cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that its moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But theres gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
