Testo Scenes from an Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
Testo della canzone Scenes from an Italian Restaurant (Billy Joel), tratta dall'album The Stranger
A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We'll get a table near the street, in our old familiar place
You and I, face to face, mhm
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian restaurant
Things are okay with me these days
I got a good job, I got a good office
I got a new wife, got a new life, and the family is fine
Oh, we lost touch long ago
You lost weight, I did not know
You could ever look so nice after so much time
Do you remember those days hanging out at the Village Green?
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans
Oh, you'd drop a dime in the box play a song about New Orleans
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, ooh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
And the king and the queen at the prom
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
Nobody looked any finer or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
Surely, Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
Everyone said they were crazy
"Brenda, you know that you're much too lazy
And Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life"
Oh, but there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Well they got an apartment with deep pile carpet
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
But they started to fight when the money got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears, oh, oh
Yeah, and rock and roll
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style
But it's always the same in the end
They got a divorce as a matter of course
And they parted the closest of friends
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
But you can never go back there again, no, oh
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of '75
From the high to the low to the end of the show
For the rest of their lives
They couldn't go back to the greasers
The best they could do was pick up their pieces
But we always knew they would both find a way to get by
Oh, and that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Can't tell you more 'cause I told you already
And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A bottle of red, ooh, a bottle of white
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian restaurant
