Back in the U.S.S.R. - Live At A Matter of Trust: The Bridge to Russia: Deluxe Edition

[Intro: Billy Joel]

One, two, three, four

Oh

[Verse 1: Billy Joel]

Flew in from Miami Beach, B.O.A.C

Didn't get to bed last night

On the way the paper bag was on my knee

Man, I had a dreadful flight

[Chorus: Billy Joel]

I'm back in the U.S.S.R

You don't know how lucky you are boy

Back in the U.S.S.R

[Verse 2: Billy Joel]

Been away so long I hardly knew the place

Gee, it's good to be back home

Leave it 'till tomorrow to unpack my case

Ah, honey disconnect the phone

[Chorus: Billy Joel]

I'm back in the U.S.S.R

You don't know how lucky you are boy

Back in the U.S

Back in the U.S

Back in the U.S.S.R

[Bridge: Billy Joel]

Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

They leave the West behind

And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

And Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind

Woah, take it away Russel!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Billy Joel]

Oh, I'm back in the U.S.S.R

You don't know how lucky you are boys

Back in the U.S.S.R

[Bridge: Billy Joel]

Oh, the Ukraine girls really knock me out

They leave the West behind

Well, Moscow girls make me sing and shout

And Georgia's always on my mind

Oh, let me tell ya

[Verse 3: Billy Joel]

Show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south

Take me to your daddy's farm

Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out

Come and keep your comrade warm

[Chorus: Billy Joel]

I'm back in the U.S.S.R

You don't know how lucky you are, boys

Back in the U.S.S.R

[Outro: Billy Joel & Mark Rivera]

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh let me tell you, honey (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, it's good to be here (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, yeah!

Спасибо!

Спасибо!

Goodbye

[Spoken: Billy Joel & Oleg Smirnoff]

I have a feeling that what's going on in your country right now

Is very much like the sixties

У меня вот такое чувство, что… то, что сейчас происходит здесь, в вашей стране, — это примерно тоже самое, что происходило в штатах в шестидесятых годах

This song has been going around and around in my head since I've been here

С тех пор, как я в Советском Союзе, эта песня всё время у меня звучит в голове
