Only The Good Die Young Lyrics Artist(Band):Billy Joel
You Catholic girls start much too late aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one well, They showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done..... Only the good die young thats what i said only the good die young x2 You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud aw But that never hurt no one So come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal I'll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind Never lets in the sun Darlin' only the good die young woah i tell ya only the good die young x2 You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation You got a brand new soul mmmm, And a cross of gold But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary (oh woah woah) 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 the Sinners are much more fun... you know that only the good die young oh woah baby i tell ya only the good die young, X2 You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Aww She never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woah Come out come out come out virgina dont let me wait, You catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one, You know that only the good die young I'm telling you baby You know that only the good die young Only the good die young Only the gooooooooooooooood Only the good die young Only the gooooooooooooooood Only the good die young Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo oooooooooo...

Good Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/7/2008 Personally all religion is foolish. But I like this song as one of Billy's classics. Basically its just saying Catholics that work so hard to stay "pure" need to enjoy themselves because death can come at any day. Guys gotta chill | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/24/2008 It's a song, and a really good one. I'm personally a catholic (a guy, though) and I think it's a wonderful song. The beat, the lyrics, everything is wonderful. I don't agree with that line "I'd rather laugh with the sinners", but I still found it to be a very powerful line to me. I'm sorry to all who are easily offended (the ones who probably got this song banned back when it first debuted in '77), but you need to chill. Billy Joel is an outstanding artist. I"m a catholic girl... | Reviewer: Joyce | 2/17/2008 and back in the day, catholic girls were supposed to be quite the conquest because they were supposed to be so chaste and virginal. So for a guy to convince one to have sex was like a major deal. Of course by the time I hit my Catholic HS, there were numerous pregnant girls in my class alone! (some were easier to convince than others, it seems!) To me that's all the song is. He's trying to convince her to let go and have sex and enjoy life. I love this song! WOW!! | Reviewer: Jim Furgintine | 1/26/2008 You know, I actually liked the song before reading the lyrics, but now, I think it is a very disturbing song for me to be hearing, and I thought it was going in a completeley different direction. heaven is much better than life. | Reviewer: Dave Walsh | 1/26/2008 i feel that billy has the wrong interpretation on life. he says he'd "rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints" but whoever said the saints were crying. the way i see it, life on earth IS purgatory, you make your decisions in life, whether to be good or evil, if you are good all your life, you will die young and move on to a better place, if you are evil, God will give you an infinite amount of chances to become good. and i know what you are all thinking, everyone dies at some point yes? well this is true, but everyone will be good at some point too, this is why they die. All im saying is, the longer it takes you to realize you're evil, the longer you will live on earth. But the minute you realize to do all that is good, you WILL die. But that is what you want. Because heaven can be all that YOU want it to be. So instead of interpreting this song, take a chance to interpret GOOD. What actually is GOOD in this life, and what actually is bad????? That is for you to find out. Don't let the media, politicians, and so on, mask you from it. only the good die young | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/25/2008 chill song... and how true is it, that only the good die young, think of all the great artists that we lost to soon (even if that isnt particularly what this song is about) Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Review the song Only The Good Die Young The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics. | | ||||||||||||
