I was homeless when I was younger and I was suicidal when I was 21. Anything that has happened after that is like water off a duck's back.
I'm still dealing with the 21-year-old me. That idealist, that purist, that young, noble, and somewhat foolish guy . . . So I tell them to try to hold on to the way they feel right now. Because that's going to effect them for the rest of their lives.
Went off to school, and learned to serve the state.Followed the rules, and drank his vodka straight.The only way to live was 'drown the hate'.The Russian life was very sad, and such was life in Leningrad.
What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you.
Go on and cry in your coffee, but don't come bitching to me.
I'd start a revolution but I don't have timeI don't know why I'm still a nice guy.
You can't go home with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You don't sleep with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You don't get hugged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you don't have children with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I want what everybody else wants: to love and to be loved, and to have a family. Being in love has always been the most important thing in my life.
You Catholic girls start much too late But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one.
If I'm crazy then it's true That it's all because of you And you wouldn't want me any other way.
I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music. More than art, more than literature, music is universally accessible.
I'd rather laugh in bed than do it. If I went to a lady of the night, I'd probably pay her to tell me jokes. Would that be perverted?
The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
