Just one thing I wanted to mention since I always notice it: I don't know if it was a slip (Billy's Long Island accent coming out at a perfect moment) or not, but in every verse he sings "don't ASK me why" except the verse with the line "You're no stranger to the street," when he sings "don't AX me why." (NY accent stereotypical pronunciation of ask) I always wondered if he was making a very subtle point there...
I love this song.

@bangdrum Just heard this on the radio and caught what I felt was a very deliberate pronunciation of the word. I definitely think it was on purpose.
