Unsealed on a porch a
letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend wanna
wish it all away
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason oughtta leave her calm, I know
I said I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
Oh yeah, can you see
them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don't wave
I see them
'Round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see
I don't know, there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said I don't, I don't know whether I'm the boxer or the bag
Oh yeah, can you see
them
Out on the porch
Yeah but they don't wave
I see them
'Round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay, oh no
Yeah
Oh!, oh!
Oh!, oh!

The Rolling Stones are an English rockband formed in
London in 1962. Diverging from the pop rockof the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty,
heavier-driven sound that came to define hard rock.
Their first stable line-up was vocalist Mick Jagger,
multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones,
guitarist Keith Richards, drummer
Charlie Watts, and
bassist Bill Wyman. During their formative years
Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their
sound and image. After Andrew Loog Oldhambecame the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write
their own songs. Jagger and Richardsbecame the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones,
who developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute
meaningfully.
Rooted in bluesand early rock and roll,
the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of
the British Invasionin 1964, also being identified with the youthful and
rebellious counterculture
of the 1960s. They then found greater success
with their own material as "(I Can't Get
No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My
Cloud" (1965) and "Paint It Black"
(1966) became international No. 1 hits. Aftermath(1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered the
most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided
hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend
the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rockon Their Satanic
Majesties Request. They went back to their roots
with such hits as "Jumpin' Jack Flash"
(1968) and "Honky Tonk Women"
(1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet(1968), featuring "Sympathy for
the Devil", and Let It Bleed(1969),
featuring "You Can't
Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let
It Bleed was the first of five consecutive Nº 1 albums in the UK.
Steel Wheels is the 19th British (and 21st
American) studio album by British rock band the Rolling Stones.
Released on 29 August 1989, it was the final album of new material that the
band would record for Columbia Records.
Heralded as a major comeback upon its
release, Steel Wheels is notable for the patching up of the working
relationship between Mick Jaggerand Keith Richards, a
reversion to a more classic style of music and the launching of the band's
biggest world tourto date. It is also the final full-length studio album to involve long-time
bassist Bill Wyman, preceding the announcement of his
departure in January 1993. Wyman's final tenure with the
band would be on two studio tracks for the 1991 album Flashpoint.
Steel Wheels was also the first album not to feature former member and frequent
contributor on piano Ian Stewart,
who died shortly before the release of their previous album Dirty Work. It was
produced by Richards and Jagger, along with Chris Kimsey,
who had previously produced the Stones' 1983 Undercover.
After the relative disappointment of their
prior two albums, Steel Wheels was a hit, reaching multi-platinum status in the
United States, Top 5 status in numerous markets around the world, and spawning
two hit singles: "Mixed Emotions,"
which peaked at No. 1 in Canada and Nº 5 in the United States, and "Rock and a
Hard Place", the band's last Top-40
hit in the US. Critics were generally lukewarm towards the album, exemplified
by Stephen
Thomas Erlewine: 'It doesn't make for a great
Stones album, but it's not bad, and it feels like a comeback.'
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
He was blinded by
love
The Philistines paid
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
He was blinded by
love
He was blinded by
love
Now it's no use crying
or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
The poor Prince of
Wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now, don't lose your mind
Don't mortgage your soul to a stranger
Don't be blinded by
love
Don't be blinded by
love
Blinded by love
Blinded by love.

William Martin Joel(born May 9, 1949) is an
American musician, singer-songwriter, and composer. Commonly nicknamed the
"Piano Man" after his first major hit and signature song of the same nameas well as the similarly named 1973 album,
he has led a commercially successful career as a solo artist since the 1970s,
having released 12 studio albums from 1971 to 1993 as well as one studio album
in 2001. He is one of the best-selling
music artists of all time, as well as the
seventh-best-selling recording artist and the fourth-best-selling solo artist
in the United States, with over 150 million records sold worldwide. His
1985 compilation album, Greatest Hits
Vol. 1 & 2, is one of the best-selling albums in the United States.
Joel
was born in 1949 in the Bronx, New York, and grew up in Long Island, both
places that influenced his music. Growing up, he took piano lessons at his
mother's insistence. After dropping out of high school
to pursue a musical career, Joel took part in two short-lived bands, The Hasslesand Attila,
before signing a record deal with Family Productions and kicking off a solo
career in 1971 with his first release Cold Spring
Harbor. In 1972, Joel caught the attention of Columbia Recordsafter a live radio performance of the song "Captain Jack"
became popular in Philadelphia, prompting him to sign a new record deal with
the company and release his second album, Piano Man,
in 1973. After releasing the albums Streetlife
Serenadeand Turnstilesin 1974 and 1976 respectively, Joel released his critical and
commercial breakthrough album, The Stranger,
in 1977. This album
became Columbia's best-selling release, selling over 10 million copies and
spawning several hit singles, including "Just the Way You Are",
"Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Only the Good Die Young", and "She's Always a Woman"; another song
on this album, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant",
is Joel's favorite of his own songs and has become a staple of his live shows.
"Tell Her About It" is a 1983 hit
song written and performed by Billy Joel, from
the album An Innocent Man. Written
in homage to the Motown Sound and specifically, The Supremes, the
song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100charts for one week on September 24, 1983, replacing the Phil Ramone-produced
song, "Maniac"
by Michael Sembello. The
single was certified Gold by the RIAAfor US sales of
over 500,000 copies. In interviews, Joel has indicated that the song, heard out
of context of the An Innocent Man album, sounds more like a Tony Orlando
and Dawnrecord than the Motown sound he
intended.
Listen boy
I don't want to see you let a good thing
Slip away
You know I don't like
watching
Anybody make the same mistakes
I made
She's a real nice
girl
And she's always there for you
But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do
Listen boy
I'm sure that you think you got it all
Under control
You don't want
somebody telling you
The way to stay in someone's soul
You're a big boy now
You'll never let her go
But that's just the kind of thing
She ought to know
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason to accept
That you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Listen boy
It's not automatically a certain guarantee
To insure yourself
You've got to provide communication constantly
When you love someone
You're always insecure
And there's only one good way
To reassure
Tell her about it
Let her know how much you care
When she can't be with you
Tell her you wish you were there
Tell her about it
Every day before you leave
Pay her some attention
Give her something to believe
'Cause now and then
She'll get to worrying
Just because you haven't spoken
For so long
Though you may not have done anything
Will that be a consolation when she's gone
Listen boy
It's good information from a man
Who's made mistakes
Just a word or two
that she gets from you
Could be the difference that it makes
She's a trusting soul
She's put her trust in you
But a girl like that won't tell you
What you should do
Tell her about it
Tell her everything you feel
Give her every reason
To accept that you're for real
Tell her about it
Tell her all your crazy dreams
Let her know you need her
Let her know how much she means
Tell her about it
Tell her how you feel right now
Tell her about it
The girl don't want to wait too long
You got to tell her about it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her about it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her about it
You know the girl don't want
To wait, you got to
Tell her about it.
