So I am not the first to think that this was Elton John? ^ ^ lol at least when Time flows by you are always corrected by someone either by radio, or by one of your parents or at least someone older then you are.
If u dont like the song y bother posting a comment. just dont post it do u rly thing the people who r bj fans (like me) want u to do that just keep it to yourself
well, its about a piano player at a bar.. and he's singing about his regulars that come in on a saturday.. so i guess its his view of everything. not sure.. neutral? :D
It's negative, because when he wrote it he found out that he had practically signed his life away on his contract with his record label, and his view of all the people around him directly translated to what he was feeling. I mean the last verse is like," Man, what are you doing here?" and it was really a question he asked himself. So it's a very negative song.
i love these kinda songs they are so sad and happy at the same time like it has the up beat melidy but if you realy lison its all so depressing i just love those kinda songs it has a dieing hope feeling to it just perfact

Get off the toilet (Porcelain invented in China) Get off the Carpet (Persia) stop using numbers (India) Never eat chicken (China) Take off your cotton shirt (Egypt) get rid of your cast iron steak pan (China) NEver wear a tie again (French) Stop worshipping God (Middle East) Trade your gun in for a club (China) last but not least, never speak ever English again (Latin, and German)
well obviously your a well educated bigot who enjoys sharing. Thats sarcasm by the way, same old americans thinking they own the whole world well the world wide web belongs to everyone you complete fool.

MontrealMo66: you may want to address who you're talking to. Some people might take it the wrong way if they don't know. Youtube doesn't stack the comments together anymore, which sucks. But be careful about that. Oh, and great song. One of my favorites :)
Amazing! This video is perfection, B/W works even better than the original. Love the crowd joining in with the chorus and the piano solo in the middle is incredible. I want this played at my wake.
This is possibly one of the very best. Simple bar scene, yet so well described and Billy has a voice of gold. Tremendous lyrics and even better delivery.
Thats wicked piano skills
