Billy Joel – Where's The Orchestra Lyrics 9 years ago
@[Belish:18008]
I have always thought it was about him going out falling in love with a women who just wanted a 1 night stand.
Every romantic comedy / movie has a song – everything I do, I do for you a good example. To have a song you need an orchestra.

How the hell could I have missed the (sexual) overture?

I like the scenery (she was pretty)

What is being said, despite the dialogue, (not getting the double entendre’s)
There's the leading man (Me)

The movie star who never faced an audience
Where's the orchestra?
After all, this is my big night on the town
My introduction to the theatre crowd (popular crowd)

I assumed that the show would have a (love) song
So I was wrong
At least I understand
All the innuendo and the irony

And I appreciate,
The roles the actors played
The point the author made
And after the closing lines,

And after the curtain calls,
The curtain falls
On empty chairs,
Where's the orchestra?
