Reseña
Un giro hacia un sonido más rockero y enérgico define "Glass Houses", un capítulo de reafirmación en la discografía de Billy Joel. Con este trabajo de 1980, el artista responde a sus críticos y a la irrupción del punk y la new wave con su álbum más directo y guitarrero. Por consiguiente, el disco abandona la sofisticación jazzística para abrazar un rock de estadios potente y lleno de actitud. De hecho, desde la portada, con Joel a punto de lanzar una piedra, el álbum es toda una declaración de intenciones.
Además, el trabajo fue otro número uno y contiene éxitos como "You May Be Right", "Don't Ask Me Why" o el hit "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me". De este modo, Billy Joel demuestra su increíble capacidad para adaptarse y triunfar en cualquier registro. Por lo tanto, "Glass Houses" es una fantástica explosión de energía, la prueba de que, bajo el pianista sensible, siempre había un rockero con ganas de subir el volumen.

[X]letra de You May Be Right
Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting any one
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I was stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right - Sometimes a FantasyVer letra 3:39
[X]letra de Sometimes a Fantasy
I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance
But I really needed stimulation
Though it was only my imagination
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
When am I gonna take control get a hold of my emotions
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance
I don't want to deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
Sure it would be better if I had you here to hold me
Be better baby but believe me it's the next best thing
I'm sure there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that move me
Anytime you want to tell them to me
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
But sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing - Don't Ask Me Why 2:56
- It's Still Rock & Roll to Me 2:55
- All for LeynaVer letra 4:10
[X]letra de All for Leyna
She stood on the tracks
Waving her arms
Leading me to that third rail SHOCK
Quick as a wink
She changed her mind.
She gave me a night
That's all it was
What will it take until I STOP
Kidding myself, wasting my time, whoa
There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There?s nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
We laid on the beach
Watching the tide
She didn't tell me there were ROCKS
Under the waves
Right off the shore.
Washed up on the sand
Barely alive
Wishing the undertow would STOP
How can a man take anymore, whoa
There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna.
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna.
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna.
I'm failing in school
Losing my friends
Making my family lose their minds
I don't want to eat
I don't want to sleep
I only want Leyna, one more time.
Now, I'm in my room
Watching the tube
Telling myself, she still may DROP
Over to say, she's changed her mind
So, I wait in the dark
Listening for her
Instead of hearing my old man saying STOP
Kidding yourself, wasting your time.
There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
All For Leyna
All For Leyna
All For Leyna
All For Leyna
All For Leyna

[X]letra de Close to the Borderline
Blackout, heatwave,.44 caliber homicide
The bums drop dead and the dogs go mad
In packs on the West Side
Young girl standing on a ledge looks like another suicide
She wants to hit those bricks
Cause the news at six gotta stick to a deadline
While the millionaires hide in Beekman Place
The bag ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Life is tough but it's just enough
To hold back the tears until it's closing time
I survived, I'm still alive
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
A buck three eighty
Won't buy you much lately on the street these days
And when you can get gas
You know you can't drive fast anymore on the parkways
Rich man, poor man, either way American
Shoved into the lost and found
The no-nukes yell we're gonna all go to hell
With the next big meltdown
I got remote control and a color T.V.
I don't change channels so they must change me
I got real close friends that will get me high
They don't know how to talk and they ain't gonna try
I shouldn't bitch, I shouldn't cry
I'd start a revolution but I don't have time
I don't know why I'm still a nice guy
But I'm getting close to the borderline
Close to the borderline
I thought I'd sacrificed so many things
I thought I'd thrown them all away
I didn't think I needed anything
But you can't afford to squander what you're not prepared to pay
I need a doctor for my pressure pills
I need a lawyer for my medical bills
I need a banker to finance my home
But I need security to back my loan
It isn't new what I'm going through
But everybody knows you got to break sometime
Another night I fought the good fight
But I'm getting closer to the borderline
Closer to the borderline - Through the Long NightVer letra 2:45
[X]letra de Through the Long Night
The cold hands
The sad eyes
The dark Irish silence
It's so late
But I'll wait
Through the long night with you
With you
The warm tears
The bad dreams
The soft trembling shoulders
The old fears
But I'm here
Through the long night with you
With you
Oh, what has it cost you
I almost lost you
A long, long time ago
Oh, you should have told me
But you had to bleed to know
All your past sins
Are since past
You should be sleeping
It's all right
Sleep tight
Through the long night with me
With me
No, I didn't start it
You're broken hearted
From a long, long time ago
Oh, the way you hold me
Is all that I need to know
And it's so late
But I'll wait
Through the long night with you
With you
