Billy Joel - A Minor Variation Lyrics






Some days I have to give right in to the blues
Despite how I try to keep fightin'
It's a sure shot I'm going to lose
And I'll tell you why
You think I'm crazy
It's such a sad composition
But can you blame me
For what's been causing my bad disposition?
Ain't nothing new with my blue situation
And nothing's fine, it's just a minor variation

When troubles want to find me, I ain't hard to find
They know where I am
Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time
They tear up a man
And it's a strange thing
"Cause now it don't really matter
More of the same thing
Don't even hurt it's been part of the pattern
But still in all it's a small consulation
I just define it as a minor variation

Ain't now way to fight 'em darling
Ain't no way around 'em baby
Ain't now way to take 'em honey
Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em

I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain
And I've had enough
I'm ready for the next time it hits me again
"Cause I've gotten tough
It doesn't faze me
And now I've made my decision
I may be crazy
It's not as though I don't know that condition
Until I'm through with this blue situation
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

Ain't nobody's business, baby
Ain't nobody's worry darlin'
Ain't nobody's problem
No way to win when you've already been forgotten

And it's a strange thing
"Cause now it don't really matter
More of the same thing
Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern
Until I'm through with this blue situation
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

Billy Joel A Minor Variation Comments
  1. A.... 8....

    Criminally underrated song

  2. B.... C....

    This is almost 6 minutes long. It’s not long enough.

  3. B.... C....

    This is one of the rare songs where he can pull off rock. His voice was too bright and soft in other tracks. This is easily the biggest exception to the previous statement. His voice is deep enough at this point for him to pull it off.

  4. i.... ....

    this song reminds me a lot of cowboy bebop for some reason

  5. j.... ....

    As much as I’d like another record, this is the definition of going out on top!

  6. I.... K....

    I swear billy is a artist. I know that the man can paint.shades of gray

  7. D.... M....

    Thank you Billy!! So GOOD!!!!

  8. M.... ....

    So is it in a-minor?

    M.... ....

    Merlin the original was. It was remastered in g-major. It’s not a big change, just a minor variation.

  9. S.... C....

    Voice like velvet <3

  21. s.... g....

    Billy legends like you need to come out of the shadows. Music has gone to shit because no one gives a shit anymore. This song is real it's raw, it's sexy. Doesn't matter how old you are, you're only a hasbeen if you let yourself be. Personally, I think someone should wake the sleepers. The real deals have been slumbering too long.

    s.... g....

    I have never agreed with anything or anyone more than I do now in my whole life.

    s.... g....

    Preach it ssj!!
