In honor of my best friend, who loved Billy Joel.

1. Just the Way You Are

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

2. Only the Good Die Young

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
Sinners are much more fun...
And only the good die young

3. Summer, Highland Falls

They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own

Now, I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

4. Vienna

Slow down you crazy child ( ... )

1. Man Out Of Time

~ Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning

2. Crimes of Paris

~ You're everywhere girl in an everyday mess Who'll pay for the Crimes of Paris

3. Just About Glad

~ And on the few times I rang to propose There was a man there or so I suppose The greatest lover that you never had I'm just about glad

4. This House Is Empty Now

~ Oh, if I could just become forgetful When night seems endless Does the extinguished candle care About the darkness.

5. Little Atoms

~ And if you still don't like my song then you can just go to hell I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if my typewriter can spell But I cannot promise you I've said "Goodbye" to childish things There's still some pretty insults left and such sport in threatening

I very much approve of this! I maintain that "Just About Glad" is one of the cleverest songs of all time.

I think I fell in love with that song and This Is Hell instantly upon listening to Brutal Youth.
