Billy Joel
There's a place in the world for the angry young man With his working class ties and his radical plans He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl He's always at home with his back to the wall And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
Billy Joel

Billy Joel
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
Billy Joel
Where have you been hanging out lately honey? You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
Billy Joel
If you search for truthfulness, you might as well be blind.
Billy Joel
Working too hard can give you a heart-attack.
Billy Joel
