I don't care what you say anymore this is my life.

Either way it's OK to wake up with a smell.

The story:

For years I thought Joel was advocating lack of personal hygene; and that some element of Body Odor is possibly acceptable in some other realm.....

I listened to this classic album by that time for about 15 years. I play guitar, I am musically inclined. I just didn't know until I was a little curious and read the lyrics.
