Billy Joel

Billy Joel
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
Give a moment or two to the angry young man with his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
Billy Joel
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes.
Billy Joel
You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
Billy Joel
Your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation.
Billy Joel
you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Billy Joel
People pay a lot of money to go see shows now, they don't wanna know about your technical problems, or if you're not feeling good, they don't wanna know we have a glitch. It's their night, you better do something to earn that money.
Billy Joel
