Billy Joel
My songs are like my kids.
Billy Joel
I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
Billy Joel
We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it
Billy Joel
Remember how I found you there alone in your electric chair, I told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
