That's wrong on so many levels.
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
He also left out the part of the human sacrifices.
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

it makes no sense to refer to putting "up" a parking lot

This line would have made far more sense:
"They paved paradise, now it's a parking lot"
:roll:

put something up
[...]
2. to build something or place something somewhere

Thesaurus
build
construct . assemble . put something together . put something up . establish
(Oxford Learning Dictionary)

the "far more sense" lyric doesn't scan at all well, the original rhythm just works. that's a fundament of lyrics writing.


I don't recall any lyric that much bothered me, I guess I don't dwell on that stuff.

"love the one you're with"

We could live for a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears


That line always sounded assholish to me.
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You
Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
Really, bully, sadist?
Is materialism devouring your musical output? :ud:

That's not a Spinners song. It's Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons who are from Jersey. Jersey is loaded with mafioso machismo males. They like to make offers you can't refuse.

this guy was offered a boat ride
he accepted
and he brought his fishing rod too

i'm not an anarchist nor a criminal
therefore these lyrics rub me the wrong way
but simultaneously makes me laugh

Oh, I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
Really, bully, sadist?
Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat till you can't sweat no more
And if you cry out
I'm gonna push it some, more, more

Why do people always assume it has to do with sex? To me its a song about a personal trainer singing to their client. It's what they get paid to do.

"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"
It's a measure which would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something Joni fails to point out.
