Billy Joel “Only The Good Die Young" from Old Grey Whistle Test

Shortly after Billy Joel earned his first U.K. Top 40 hit with “Just The Way You Are,” he and his band travelled to England for an electrifying performance recorded for the hit BBC series The Old Grey Whistle Test. Ahead of his first headlining show in the country, Billy performed all the hits from The Stranger plus additional classics from his repertoire.

Lyrics:

Come out Virginia, don't let 'em wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Aw but sooner or later it comes down to faith

Oh 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

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

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 and I'll throw you the line

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind

Never let's in the sun

Darlin' only the good die young

Woah

I tell ya

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation

You got a brand new soul

Mmm, 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

I tell ya

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

Well your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation

Aw she never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woah

Come out come out come out Virginia don't let 'em wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Oh sooner or later it comes down to faith

Oh 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 good

Only the good die young
