Go on and cry in your coffee, but don't come bitching to me.
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?
I'd start a revolution but I don't have timeI don't know why I'm still a nice guy.
If you want to know what life is like in the Soviet Union, go to your local department of motor vehicles
In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along.
I know that everybody has a dream Everybody has a dream And this is my dream, my own Just to be at home And to be all alone . . . with you.
The good days weren't really so good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.
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.
I'm kind of in a dark place. And I know some people are actually excited about that, because they think I'll write an album about being sad. But that's not what my music is about. There have been times when I've done that, but I'm not going to do it again.
