    Captain Jack will get you high tonight
    And take you to your special island
    Captain Jack will get you by tonight
    Just a little push, and you'll be smiling
    Oh, yeah yeah

    Billy Joel is one of those rare artists who you can understand every line he sings and does them live in the same key. Brilliant .

      Actually, he's very well known for changing the keys in his songs to a lower register. Consequently, he now sounds like a portable tape player whose batteries are dying.

      Not jealous…realistic. Everyone is fleeing the murder, assaults, crime, car jackings and government corruption. They condone the policies that have created this problem. New York is like living in a high security prison….all the criminals have no accountability. Great City?…not according to the masses that jumped that sinking ship.
