the narrator as he describes himself in "big man on mulberry street" sounds obnoxious but because it's billy joel singing I'd still go there

"this guy makes a big deal about how much he tips and is constantly putting his foot in his mouth but his voice is hot so I'd hit that" is the kind of thing I think to myself at 5:38am

my playlist went straight from that to downeaster alexa, which is about a very different type of emotionally unavailable dude I'd probably still fuck

oh, to be the wife of a rugged long island fisherman waiting anxiously for him to return from trawling atlantis

listen, my fiancé knows that if billy joel ever sang "she's always a woman" to me personally I would be billy joel's fifth wife in a heartbeat, and he's learnt to accept that

(my fiancé is a singer and it's one of the reasons I fell for him, but I mean...that croon in "the longest time"......)
