Billy Joel Good Quotations

The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

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.

...And you're the only one who knows.

I would not leave you in your times of trouble. We never could have come this far. I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are.

There are certain artists who have taken it upon themselves to save the world, and I find that gets tiresome. I think the artist's first obligation is to the art, not to the issues . . . I think if I have something to say the best way to do that is just to tell a damn good story.

Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are.

Ah, you look so good to meWith my eyes open wide, I can seeAh, you feel so good to meAnd it's so good when you're here cause I'm free

You may never understandHow the Stranger is inspired,But he is not always evil,And he is not always wrong.Though you drown in good intentions,You will never quench the fire.You'll give in to your desireWhen the Stranger comes along.

The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
