Billy Joel Live in Leningrad

SONG: "Angry Young Man"

# There's a place in the world for the angry young man

# With his working-class ties and his radical plans

# He refuses to bend He refuses to crawl

# He's always at home with his back to the wall

# He's proud of the scars and the battles he's lost

# He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross

# And he likes to be known as the angry young man

# Oh, yo! Oh, yo!

# Give a moment or two to the angry young man

# With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand

# He's been stabbed in the back and misunderstood

# It's a comfort to know his intentions are good

# He sits in a room with a lock on the door

# With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor

# And he likes to be known as the angry young man

# I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage

# I found that just surviving was a noble fight

# I once believed in causes too I had my pointless point of view

# Life went on no matter who was wrong or right

# And there's always a place for the angry young man

# With his fist in the air and his head in the sand

# He's never been able to learn from mistakes

# He can't understand why his heart always breaks

# His honour is pure and his courage as well

# He's fair, he's true and he's boring as hell

# And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man

# Whoa!

# And there's always a place for the angry young man

# With his working-class ties and his radical plans

# He refuses to bend He refuses to crawl

# He's always at home with his back to the wall

# He's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost

# He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross

# And he likes to be known as the angry young man

# Oh, yo! Oh, yo! #

Spasiba!

Good evening.

HE SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN

I am nervous.

HE TRIES TO SPEAK IN RUSSIAN

I don't speak Russian.

I'm going to bring out my friend Oleg Smirnoff to translate.

This is Oleg.

He's OK, he's OK.

This next song is from an album called The Nylon Curtain.

OLEG TRANSLATES

This song is about young people living in the north east of America.

OLEG TRANSLATES

Their lives are miserable because the steel factories are closing.

OLEG TRANSLATES

They desperately want to leave, but they stay

because they were brought up to believe

that things were going to get better.

OLEG TRANSLATES

Maybe that sounds familiar.

OLEG TRANSLATES

This song is called Allentown.

Make that whistle blow!

FACTORY WHISTLE BLOWS

SONG: "Allentown"

# And we're living here in Allentown

# And they're closing all the factories down

# Out in Bethlehem They're killing time

# Filling out forms, standing in line

# Our fathers fought the Second World War

# Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore

# Met our mothers in the USO

# Asked them to dance Danced with them slow

# And we're living here in Allentown

# But the restlessness was handed down

# And it's getting very hard to stay

# Well, we're waiting here in Allentown

# For the Pennsylvania we never found

# For the promises our teachers gave

# If we worked hard, if we behaved

# So the graduations hang on the wall

# But they never really helped us at all

# No, they never taught us what was real

# Iron and coke and chromium steel

# And we're waiting here in Allentown

# But they've taken all the coal from the ground

# And the union people crawled away

# Every child had a pretty good shot

# To get at least as far as their old man got

# But something happened on the way to that place

# They threw an American flag in our face

# Well, I'm living here in Allentown

# And it's hard to keep a good man down

# But I won't be getting up today

# Hey!

# Hey!

# And it's getting very hard to stay!

# And we're living here in Allentown. #

HELICOPTER SOUND EFFECTS

SONG: "Goodnight Saigon"

# We met as soul mates

# On Parris Island

# We left as inmates from an asylum

# And we were sharp

# As sharp as knives

# And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives

# We came in spastic Like tameless horses

# We left in plastic

# As numbered corpses

# And we learned fast to travel light

# Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

# We had no home front

# We had no soft soap

# They sent us Playboy

# They gave us Bob Hope

# We dug in deep

# And shot on sight

# And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might

# We had no cameras

# To shoot the landscape

# We passed the hash pipe

# And played our Doors tapes

# And it was dark

# So dark at night

# And we held on to each other

# Like brother to brother

# We promised our mothers we'd write

# And we would all go down together

# We said we'd all go down together

# Yes, we would all go down together

# Remember Charlie

# Remember Baker

# They left their childhood

# On every acre

# And who was wrong?

# And who was right?

# It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

# We held the day

# In the palm

# Of our hands

# They

# Ruled the night

# And the night

# Seemed to last as long as six weeks

# On Parris Island

# We held the coastline They held the highlands

# And they were sharp

# As sharp as knives

# They heard the hum of our motors

# They counted the rotors

# And waited for us to arrive

# And we would all go down together

# We said we'd all go down together

# Yes, we would all go down together. #

SONG: "Big Man On Mulberry Street"

# Why can't I lay low?

# Why can't I say what I mean?

# Why don't I stay home

# And get myself into some boring routine?

# Why can't I calm down

# Why is it always a fight?

# I can't get unwound

# Why do I throw myself into the night?

# I'm on the outside

# I don't fit into the groove

# Hey, I ain't a bad guy

# So tell me What am I trying to prove?

# Why can't I cool out?

# Why don't I button my lip?

# Why do I lash out?

# Why is it I always shoot from the hip?

# I cruise from Houston to Canal Street

# A misfit and a rebel

# I see the winos talking to themselves

# And I can't understand

# Why is it every time I go out I always seem to get into trouble?

# I guess I made an impression on somebody

# North of Hester and south of Grand

# And so in my small way

# I'm a big man on Mulberry Street

# I don't mean all day

# Only at night when I'm light on my feet

# What else have I got?

# That I'd be trying to hide?

# Maybe a blind spot

# I haven't seen from the sensitive side

# But you know in my heart

# I'm a big man on Mulberry Street

# I play the whole part

# I leave a big tip with every receipt

# I'm so romantic

# I'm such a passionate man

# Sometimes I panic

# What if nobody finds out who I am? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is a song I recorded with a man I admired for many years, Mr Ray Charles.

HE TRANSLATES INTO RUSSIAN

And this song is about the piano.

HE TRANSLATES

It's called Baby Grand.

One, two, three, four!

# Late at night When it's dark and cold

# I reach out For someone to hold

# When I'm blue When I'm lonely

# She comes through

# She's the only one who can

# My baby grand

# Is all I need

# In my time

# I wandered everywhere

# Round this here world, yessir

# She would always be there

# Any day

# Any hour

# All it takes

# Is the power in my hands

# This baby grand

# Has been good to me

# Oooh, oh, yeah

# Now I've had friends But they've slipped away

# I've had fame, yessir But it doesn't stay

# I've made fortunes I spent them fast enough

# As for women, well

# They don't last with just one man

# But my baby grand

# She'll stand by me

# Oh, now, now

# They say that no-one's gonna play this on the radio

# They said the melancholy blues were dead and gone

# But only songs like these

# Played in minor keys

# Keep those memories holding on

# I've come far

# From a life I've strayed in

# I've got scars, believe me

# From those towns I played in

# Now I'm home

# I'm so weary

# In my bones

# Every dreary one-night stand

# But my baby grand

# Came home with me

# Yeah

# Ever since this gig began

# My baby grand

# It's been good to-o-o-o

# Whoa, oh, ah, yeah

# Me

# Ee-ee-ee

# Ooh, ho

# Ooooh, oh

# Oooh, ooooh, oooh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Mmm, mmm, yeah

# Oooh, ooooh, oooh

# Some people stay far away from the door

# If there's a chance of it opening up

# They hear a voice in the hall outside

# And hope that it just passes by

# Some people live with the fear of a touch

# And the anger of having been a fool

# They will not listen to anyone

# So nobody tells them a lie

# I know you're only protecting yourself

# I know you're thinking of somebody else

# Someone who hurt you

# But I'm not above Making up for the love

# You've been denying you could ever feel

# I'm not above doing anything To restore your faith if I can

# Some people see through the eyes of the old

# Before they ever get a look at the young

# I'm only willing to hear you cry

# Because I am an innocent man

# Oh, yes, I am

# An innocent man

# Oh, yes, I am

# Some people say they will never believe

# Another promise they hear in the dark

# Because they only remember too well

# They heard somebody tell them before

# Some people sleep all alone every night

# Instead of taking a lover to bed

# Some people find that it's easier to hate

# Than to wait any more

# I know you don't want to hear what I say

# I know you're gonna keep turning away

# But I've been there and if I can survive

# I can keep you alive

# I'm not above going through it again

# I'm not above being cool for a while

# If you're cruel to me I'll understand

# Some people run from a possible fight

# Some people figure they can never win

# Although this is a fight I can lose

# The accused is an innocent man

# Yeah

# I am

# An innocent man

# Yes, I am

# An innocent man

# You know you only hurt yourself out of spite

# But I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight

# That's your decision

# But I'm not below

# Anybody I know

# If there's a chance of resurrecting a love

# I'm not above going back to the start

# To find out where the heartache began

# Some people hope for a miracle cure

# Some people just accept the world as it is

# Me, I'm not willing to lay down and die

# Because I am an innocent man

# Yeah

# Ohhh

# I am

# An innocent man

# Oh, yes, I am

# An innocent man

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Yeah

# Ohh-oh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'd like to dedicate this next song to Vladimir Vysotsky.

HE TRANSLATES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

When I went to visit his grave in Moscow, I was very impressed

by the love and devotion people have for him.

HE TRANSLATES

When I asked some people at the graveside why they were there

and why do they love him so much, they said because he spoke the truth.

HE TRANSLATES

And this song is called Honesty.

HE TRANSLATES

SOLO PIANO INTRO

# If you search for tenderness

# It isn't hard to find

# You can have the love you need to live

# But if you look for truthfulness

# You might just as well be blind

# It always seems to be so hard to give

# Honesty is such a lonely word

# Everyone is so untrue

# Honesty is hardly ever heard

# And mostly what I need from you

# I can always find someone

# To say they sympathise

# If I wear my heart out on my sleeve

# But I don't want some pretty face

# To tell me pretty lies

# All I want is someone to believe

# Honesty is such a lonely word

# Everyone is so untrue

# Honesty is hardly ever heard

# And mostly what I need from you

# I can find a lover

# I can find a friend

# I can have security

# Until the bitter end

# Anyone can comfort me

# With promises again

# I know

# I know

# I know

# When I'm deep inside of me

# Don't be too concerned

# I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone

# But when I want sincerity

# Tell me where else can I turn?

# Cos you're the one that I depend upon

# Honesty is such a lonely word

# Everyone is so untrue

# Honesty is hardly ever heard

# And mostly what I need from you. #

# Hold on to your heart

# Now I know the woman that you are

SONG: "A Matter Of Trust"

# A one, a two A one, two, three, four

# Some love is just a lie of the heart

# The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

# And they may not want it to end

# But it will It's just a question of when

# I've lived long enough to have learned

# The closer you get to the fire The more you get burned

# But that won't happen to us

# Cos it's always been a matter of trust

# I know you're an emotional girl

# It took a lot for you To not lose your faith in this world

# I can't offer you proof

# But you're going to face a moment of truth

# It's hard when you're always afraid

# You just recover when another belief is betrayed

# So break my heart if you must

# It's a matter of trust

# You can't go the distance

# With too much resistance

# I know you have doubts

# But for god's sake don't shut me out

# This time you've got nothing to lose

# You can take it You can leave it

# Whatever you choose

# I won't hold back anything

# And I'll walk away a fool or a king

# Some love is just a lie of the mind

# It's make-believe until it's only a matter of time

# And some might have learned to adjust

# But then it never was a matter of trust

# I'm sure you're aware, love

# We've both had our share of

# Believing too long

# When the whole situation was wrong

# Some love is just a lie of the soul

# A constant battle for the ultimate state of control

# After you've heard lie upon lie

# There can hardly be a question of why

# Some love is just a lie of the heart

# The cold remains of what began with a passionate start

# But that won't happen to us

# Cos it's always been a matter of trust

# It's a matter of trust

# Oh-oh

# It's a matter of trust

# Oh-oh

# It's always been a matter of trust

# Hey

# Hey

# Whoa-oh-oh. #

SONG: "Only The Good Die Young"

# Come out, Virginia

# Don't let me wait

# You Catholic girls start much too late

# But sooner or later it comes down to fate

# I might as well be the one

# Well, they showed you a statue

# Told you to pray

# They built you a temple and locked you away

# But they never told you the price that you pay

# For things that you might have done

# Only the good die young

# That's what I said

# Only the good die young

# Only the good die young

# You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd

# We ain't too pretty

# We ain't too proud

# We might be laughing a bit too loud

# But that never hurt no-one

# So come on, Virginia

# Show me a sign

# Send up a signal and I'll throw you the line

# The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind

# Never lets in the sun

# Darlin', only the good die young

# That's what I said

# Only the good die young

# Only the good die young

# You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation

# You got a brand-new soul

# Oh, and a cross of gold

# But, Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information

# You didn't count on me

# When you were counting on your rosary

# Oh-whoa-whoa

# They say there's a heaven for those who will wait

# Some say it's better but I say it ain't

# I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints

# The sinners are much more fun

# Darlin', you know Only the good die young... #

How'm I doin', Mom?

# Only the good die young

# Say, your momma told you all that I could give you was a reputation

# She never cared for me

# But did she ever say a prayer for me?

# Oh-whoa-whoa

# Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't let me wait,

# Catholic girls start much too late

# Sooner or later it comes down to fate

# I wanna be the one

# Cos, darlin', you know only the good die young

# That's what I said

# Only the good die young

# Only the good die young

# Only the good

Whoo! Whoo-hoo!

SONG: "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me"

# What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?

# Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?

# Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?

# Welcome back to the age of jive

# Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?

# You can't dress trashy Till you spend a lot of money

# Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound

# Funny, but it's still rock'n'roll to me

# What's the matter with the car I'm driving?

# Can't you tell that it's out of style?

# Should I get a set of whitewall tyres?

# Are you gonna cruise the Miracle Mile?

# Nowadays you can't be too sentimental

# Your best bet's a true baby-blue Continental

# Hot funk, cool punk Even if it's old junk

# It's still rock'n'roll to me

# Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers

# It's always been the same old scene

# There's a new band in town

# But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine

# Aimed at your average teen

# How about a pair of pink sidewinders

# A bright-orange pair of pants?

# You could really be a Beau Brummell baby

# If you just give it half a chance

# Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers

# You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers

# Next phase, new wave Dance craze, anyways

# It's still rock'n'roll to me

# Oh-oh-oh

# Ooh!

# What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?

# Don't you know that they're out of touch?

# Should I try to be a straight-A student?

# Well, if you are Then you drink too much

# Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?

# All you need are looks and a whole lotta money

# It's the next phase, new wave Dance craze, anyways

# It's still rock'n'roll to me

# Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound

# Funny, but it's still rock'n'roll to me

# Woo-hoo! #

SONG: "Sometimes A Fantasy"

Oy!

Oy!

# Well, I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely

# I had to call you up in the middle of the night

# I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance

# But I really needed stimulation

# Though it was only my imagination

# It's just a fantasy

# No, no, no

# No, no, no

# When am I gonna take control Get a hold of my emotions

# Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night?

# I don't want to deal with outside action

# Only you can give me satisfaction

# Bee-bop-a-lula

# Better, baby, but believe me it's the next best thing

SOUND OF GLASS SMASHING

SONG: "You May Be Right"

# Friday night, I crashed your party

# Saturday, I said I'm sorry

# Sunday came and trashed me out again

# Well, I was only having fun

# Wasn't hurting anyone

# And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

# I've been stranded in the combat zone

# I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone

# Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

# And you told me not to drive

# But I made it home alive

# So you said that only proves that I'm insane

# Well, you may be right

# I may be crazy

# Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

# Turn out the lights

# Don't try to save me

# You may be wrong for all I know

# But you may be right

# Well, remember how I found you there

# Alone in your electric chair

# I told you dirty jokes until you smiled

# You were lonely for a man

# I said "Take me as I am"

# Cos you might enjoy some madness for a while

# Now think of all the years

# You tried to find someone to satisfy you

# I might be as crazy as you say

# If I'm crazy, then it's true

# That it's all because of you

# And you wouldn't want me any other way

# Well, you may be right

# I may be crazy

# Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

# It's too late to fight

# Too late to change me

# You may be wrong for all I know

# But you may be right

# You may be right

# I may be crazy

# Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for

# Turn out the lights

# Don't try to save me

# Well, you may be wrong for all I know

# But you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

-# You may be wrong but you may...

-Oh, you may be right

-# You may be wrong but you may be...

-Oh, baby, crazy

-# You may be wrong but you may be...

-Uh-huh, you may be right

-# You may be wrong but you may be...

-Oh, baby, crazy

-# You may be wrong but you may be...

-Oh, you may be...

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# Baby, crazy

# You may be wrong but you may be right

# You may be...

# You may be wrong but you may be right. #

# Uptown girl

# She's been living in her uptown world

# I bet she's never had a backstreet guy

# I bet her momma never told her why

# I'm gonna try for an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white-bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

# And when she knows what she wants from her time

# And when she wakes up and makes up her mind

# She'll see I'm not so tough

# Just because I'm in love

-# With an uptown girl

-Uptown girl

# She's been moving in her uptown world

# She's getting tired of her high-class toys

# And all her presents from her uptown boys

# You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

# But maybe someday when my ship comes in

# She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

# And then I'll win

# And when she's walking She's looking so fine

# And when she's talking She'll say that she's mine

# She'll say I'm not so tough

# Just because I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white-bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

SONG: "Big Shot"

# Well, you went uptown Riding in your limousine

# With your fine Park Avenue clothes

# You had the Dom Perignon in your hand

# And the spoon up your nose

# Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning

# With your head on fire

# And your eyes too bloody to see

# Go on and cry in your coffee

# But don't come bitchin' to me

# Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you?

# You had to open up your mouth

# You had to be a big shot Didn't you?

# All your friends were so knocked out

# You had to have the last word last night

# You know what everything's about

# You had to have a white-hot spotlight

# You had to be a big shot last night

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Yeah! #

Good catch!

# They were all impressed with your Halston dress

# The people that you knew at Elaine's

# And the story of your latest success

# Kept 'em so entertained

# Aww, but now you just don't remember

# All the things you said

# You're not sure that you want to know

# I'll give you one hint, honey

# You sure did put on a show

# Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you?

# You had to prove it to the crowd

# You had to be a big shot Didn't you?

# All your friends were so knocked out

# You had to have the last word last night

# You're so much fun to be around

# You had to have the front page Bold type

# You had to be a big shot last night

# Oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Well, it's no big sin To stick your two cents in

# If you know when to leave it alone

# But you went over the line

# You couldn't see it was time to go

# Yeah, yeah, yeah You had to be a big shot

# You had to open up your mouth

# You had to be a big shot Didn't you?

# All your friends were so knocked out

# You had to have the last word last night

# You know what everything's about

# You had to have a white-hot spotlight

# You had to be a big shot last night

# Oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Oh, big shot... #

Come on!

SONG: "Back in the USSR"

# Ohh, flew in from Miami Beach BOAC

# Didn't get to bed last night

# On the way The paper bag was on my knee

# Man, I had a dreadful flight

# I'm back in the USSR

# You don't know how lucky you are, boys

# Back in the USSR

# Been away so long I hardly knew the place

# Gee, it's good to be back home

# Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case

# Ah! Honey, disconnect the phone

# I'm back in the USSR

# You don't know how lucky you are, boys

# Back in the US...

# Back in the US...

# Back in the USSR

# Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out

-# Woo-hoo-hoo

-They leave the West behind

# And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

# That Georgia's always on my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my mind

# Oh, take it away, Russell!

# Oh, I'm back in the USSR

# You don't know how lucky you are, boys

# Back in the USSR

# Oh, the Ukraine girls really knock me out

-# Woo-hoo-hoo

-They leave the West behind

# Well, the Moscow girls make me sing and shout

# That Georgia's always on my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my-my mind

# Oh, let me tell you

# Show me round your snow-peaked mountains way down south

# Take me to your daddy's farm

# Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out

# Come and keep your comrade warm

# I'm back in the USSR

# You don't know how lucky you are, boys

# Back in the USSR

# Aaaahh, yeah!

-# Ooh, woo-hoo-hoo

-Oh, let me tell you, honey!
