Its Still Billy Joel To Me
Whats the matter with the songs hes singin
Cant you tell that theyre pretty lame
After listenin to a couple albums
Well, they all start to sound the same
So he tried to change his musical style
He tossed all his ballads in the circular file
Then he found the punk sound
Breakin ground all around
Its still billy joel to me
Whats the matter with the tune hes writin
Well, you know its gonna be a smash
Its so nice when youre a big name artist
Doesnt matter if it sounds like trash
Now everybody thinks the new wave is super
Just ask linda ronstadt or even alice cooper
Its a big hit, isnt it
Even if its a piece of junk
Its still billy joel to me
Woah, it doesnt matter what the critics say about him
cause he doesnt worry how they feel
When youre records sellin millions and its goin triple platinum
You dont worry bout your next meal
cause money is no big deal
Maybe he should dye his hair bright pink
And stick a safety pin through his cheeks
Then hed really fit the new wave image
But he couldnt sit down for weeks
Dont you know about the record business, honey
You gotta be trendy if you wanna make some money
Now everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny
But its still billy joel to me
All right, alfred
Oh
I can hardly wait til his next album
Well, Ill bet its gonna be the rage
Buy a ticket to his next big concert
Well, I wonder what hell do on stage
It might be disco and it might be the blues
Or maybe even somethin like the b-52s
Just a handclap, finger snap
Even if its mindless pap
Its still billy joel to me
Everybodys sayin that he sure sounds funny
But its still billy joel to me

It Really Doesnt Matter
I spent some time across the waves
I learned a lot of things I never could
I waved my magic wand over the past
I never understood
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
We strolled around on different ground
There must have been some kind of reason
Nothing ventured, nothing found
Must have been the wrong season
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
I flew you high, I flew you low
I flew you all the way around
You played for me your pretty tune
Now look what I have found
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all

Zeroes
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Youve arrived in the land of a thousand different names
And the fabulous sons have crashed their planes in flames
Now tomorrow is back claiming redemption is on your heels
And a toothless past is asking you how it feels
And me my little red corvette has driven by
Fair weather heart has fallen in
My rainy day girl is feeling down
And she tells me that the world is spinning round
I say the dream was all for you
Youre nobody else
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
Yeah
Hi, can I walk you home again today
Gotta get forgive and forget hey-hey
Something good is happening and I dont know what it is
Dont you know were back on trial again today
And its breaking wine for you
Hell its only cause youre true
Someone outtimed my heart
Stopping and preaching and letting love in
You are my moon, you are my sun
Heaven knows what you are
Tonight the zeroes are singing for you
Yes they were
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Tonight the zeroes were singing for you
You
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter what you try to do
Doesnt matter where you try to go
Doesnt matter who we really are

It Dont Matter
Now in your big flash motor and your wild reputation
Youre ready to hit the streets
Winking at the boys, yeah heading for the noise
Got the world at your feet
If leaving me for dead with a pistol at my head
Is your idea of how Id feel
Well let me tell you honey fore you spend all of your money
I got my hands firmly on the wheel
It dont matter
It dont matter
It dont matter to me
It dont matter
It dont matter
It dont matter to me
Back street lover in the cold of the evening
Takes you to a place he knows
Says, it will be fine better make up your mind
Youve cut it deep and now it shows
Its way past midnight and your traveling through the city
Youre wondering what you should do
Well baby cant you see that youve had enough of me
And Ive certainly had enough of you
It doesnt matter
It doesnt matter

Dont Lose My Number
They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
Im never coming back
They heard him cry
And I believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
Its gonna get worse if he waits too long
Billy, billy dont you lose my number
Cos youre not anywhere
That I can find you
Oh now billy, billy dont you lose my number
Cos youre not anywhere that I can find you, oh no
Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldnt stop till they found him
They didnt know him and they didnt understand
They never asked him why
Get out of my way
They heard him shout
Then a blinding light
Ooh all I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night
Now billy, billy dont you lose my number
Cos youre not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now billy, billy dont you lose my number
Cos youre not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Dont give up
Keep running, keep hiding
Dont give up

Dont give up
You know that I am on your side
Dont give up
Oh billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life

It Doesnt Matter Anymore
(daryl hall/sandy allen)
Ive been used to seeing the world with the eyes of two
Now youre gone, no more window shopping with you
Guess Ill spend another day walking around
But dont think that Im sorry babe, dont you think that Im down
cause you know it doesnt matter, you know it doesnt matter anymore
And thats what Im here to tell you
You know it doesnt matter, yes it doesnt matter anymore
Ive been used, you might say that Ive been misused
But Im not gonna feel bad for myself even though Ive been bruised, so bruised
Guess Ill spend another day walking around
But dont think that Im sorry babe, dont you think that Im down
cause you know it doesnt matter, you know it doesnt matter anymore
And thats what Im here to tell you
You know it doesnt matter, yes it doesnt matter anymore

Talkin Talkin
Talking, talking
It doesnt really matter
If you know my name
It doesnt really matter
If you see things the same
As I do
It doesnt even matter
If Im tied and tense
It doesnt even matter
If Im still making sense
Over you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
Talking, talking
It doesnt matter
What the people
All around you say
Be careful how
You listen
They dont know you
The way that I do
And if you wanna
Talk about it baby
Thats alright
Its better if I say it
Than to sit down
And write it to you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
It can be that
Youre here with me
When Im standing out
On my own
The words of love
That you gage
When we were alone
It doesnt matter
If you want to
Rock and roll all night
I know youre gonna
Be there when the
Feeling is right
The feeling is right
The feeling is right
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
You know Im just
Talking, talking, talking, talking

Everbody Gets The Blues
It dont matter if youre rich
It dont make no difference if youre poor
Simple things in life can make you mad to the core
It doesnt matter if youre young
Dont make no difference if youre old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach a pot of gold
Chorus:
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows and the high
Well you work and you worry
Spend you life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Aint no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
[repeat chorus]
Dont matter if youre fat
Dont matter if youre thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Dont matter if youre black
Dont matter if youre white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right
[repeat chorus]

It Doesnt Really Matter
It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many reasons call
It doesnt really matter at all
It doesnt matter that I failed to
Break down your fathers wall
It doesnt matter at all
Why tell me you dont understand when you do
I thought I had something to say
But it really doesnt matter at all...
I changed my name
To be rid of the things that I want from you
Its strange
But a name is a name and the truth is the truth
Oh, there is always
Always someone to remind me
So I learn to live with shame
Tell myself I feel no pain
But I do
And if I have to tell you
Then it really doesnt matter at all...
And its no good looking back
Because times a thief and I believe that
Im too old for that
Were just saying the things that weve said
Forever
It doesnt really matter that I loved you
How many seasons fall
Its too bad
It really doesnt matter at all

Youll Be The One Wholl Lose
Written by ricky, kim & marty wilde
Guess I took it for granted
That youd feel the same as me
Had enough of romances ending unromantically
You dont take any chances
But you gamble aimlessly
Always running in circles
Keeping phoney company
You callem up when you get in town
cos its time to play the game
Hangin out at the place to be
Where the people know your name
And Im tryin to say
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter what you do
Im gonna leave you anyway
But I want you to know
Youll be the one wholl lose
It was foolish to kid myself
That loves a guarantee
Its an illusion thats often sold
But never comes for free
Can you see what youre losing
Oh, can you even really see
Seems youre so busy moving, honey
You never even noticed you lost me
And Im trying to say
It doesnt matter at all
It doesnt matter how you feel
Im gonna say it anyway
Cos I want you to know
Youll be the one wholl lose

Ah let me, let me
Let me be your sunday driver
Let me be your monday man
Ill take you anywhere you want
Just as fast as I can
It doesnt matter what you wanna do
It doesnt matter where you wanna go
Just gotta decide girl and then you let me know
Oh, did you ever want lovin, so youre callin
Up your baby and shes stallin with the neighbors
And the night keeps gettin longer
And the urge keeps getting stronger
So your tryin and your dyin and youre wonderin does she love you
A knock comes at your door
Let me in honey
Let me
Let me be your tuesday taxi
Let me be your wednesday boy
Ill be your lovin man
Youll be my bundle of joy
And oh
It doesnt matter what you wanna do
It doesnt matter where you wanna go
You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know

Mad For You
Say say say say,
Do do do do,
Way way way way,
Ooh ooh ooh. [x2]
Everybodys been against us from the start,
Thinkin man youve lost your mind,
Sayin that girls not your typebut theyre all blind.
But I bet they never felt half the way I do,
Never had a man half as good as you,
My baby.
[chorus:]
So they can say what they wanna say,
Do what they want to do,
It dont matter anyway, theres nothing they can prove,
To change how I feel about you,
So they can see what they wanna see,
And say what they want to me,
But I know that I believe in my point of view,
That Im all mad for you.
Everybody tries to tell me youre no good,
And that boy you dont deserve a girl like me but I disagree,
And its not their concern.
No they never had a love like you and i,
Call it jealousy playin with their minds,
My baby.
[chorus]
Everybody, will have to get used to us being together,
Cos thats how were gonna stay.
Our love will last forever (and ever),
Forever always.
Say say say say,
Do do do do,
Way way way way,
So they can say what they wanna say,
Do what they want to do,
It dont matter anyway, theres nothing they can prove.
So they can say what they wanna say,
And say what they want to me,
But I know that I believe in my point of view. [x2]
So they can say what they wanna say,
Do what they wanna do. [x2]
It dont matter anyway.
So they can say what they wanna say,
Say what they wanna be.
Follow what I believe. [x2]
So they can say what they wanna say,
Do what they wanna do. [x2]
It dont matter anyway.
So they can say what they wanna say,
Say what they wanna be,

Comedian Joel Marks
Comedian Joel Marks
Joel Marks was born in D.C.
does a standup act with funny Jewish comedy.
He traveled across the country for all to see,
with National Acts, more than three.
He did 22 shows, but no more,
he misses the shows, maybe some more are in store.
His mother finally saw his act before she passed,
she thought he was funny, he made her laugh.
Joel did a prank when he was young,
he dressed up like a girl, he had a lot of fun.
He wanted to get into his sister's fraternity,
he says 'My parents knew and liked the pictures of me'.
Of course Joel does a funny Jewish act,
he’s not a cross dresser, that’s a fact.
Joel also drives a very fast car,
like his career it has gone quite far.
I wish your more success in the coming years,
making people laugh and bringing them to tears.
