Tom’s Diner – GIORGIO MORODER & BRITNEY SPEARS

Thank you Thanks Thanks for coming out I appreciate it. So you know why we’re here, right? We’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Solitude Standing This solemn occasion to sing the whole album from beginning to the end Something that is Thank you We hardly ever do that anymore Usually we have our playlist and we stick to that But back then this is what we did, and that’s what we’re gonna do now

I am sitting in the morning At the diner on the corner I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway And before I even argue He is looking out the window At somebody coming in

“It is always nice to see you” Says the man behind the counter To the woman who has come in She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way As they are kissing their hellos And I’m pretending not to see them And instead I pour the milk

I open up the paper There’s a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of

And I’m turning to the horoscope And looking for the funnies When I’m feeling someone watching me And so I raise my head

There’s a woman on the outside Looking inside, does she see me? No, she does not really see me ‘Cause she sees her own reflection

And I’m trying not to notice That she’s hitching up her skirt And while she’s straightening her stockings Her hair has gotten wet

Oh, this rain it will continue Through the morning as I’m listening To the bells of the cathedral I am thinking of your voice And of the midnight picnic once upon a time before the rain began And I finish up my coffee And it’s time to catch the train

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo

Thank you Thanks Well, thanks That’s how I used to start every show You guys were hardly even breathing I didn’t even hear you breathe! So we’re gonna continue. All right
