1a canzone al giorno

Ieri altro giro e altra corsa tra i video delle canzoni degli anni ottanta su Youtube. Me ne sono guardati alcuni di Billy Joel tra cui il bellissimo "We didn't start the fire" che ho già postato un bel po' di tempo fa. Ce ne sono un paio del bravo cantatutore che ancora non ho pubblicato e una di queste due invece ero certo di averla già postata. Ma non è quella di oggi, questa è... l'altra. E' una canzone del 1983 dall'album "An innocent man" e si intitola "Uptown girl". Anche questa probabilmente la conoscete e anche questa si ascolta e si fa ascoltare molto volentieri. E allora... Buon ascolto!! E buona domenica!!!

Uptown girl (Billy Joel)

Uptown girl 
She's been living in her uptown world 
I bet she never had a backstreet guy 
I bet her mama 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 

You know I've seen her in her uptown world 
She's getting tired of her high class toys 
And all her presents from her uptown boys 
She's got a choice 

Uptown girl 
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 and 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 

Uptown girl 
She's my uptown girl 
You know I'm in love 
With an uptown girl 
My uptown girl 
You know I'm in love 
With an uptown girl 
My uptown girl
