Oh, dear God. I nearly fell off my chair laughing at that! :-)
It's ''Trouble in the Suez'', not the sewage!! LMAO!
1956: After Britain and the USA withdrew their financial support for the Egyptian Aswan dam project, General Nasser nationalized the important Suez Canal. Egypt was then invaded by British, French and Israeli forces. Under pressure from the United States the invaders left Egypt and a UN emergency force was sent to Egypt.

wikipedia gives an explanation...I have only posted a partial and provided the link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_didn%27t_start_the_fire
"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song by Billy Joel that chronicles 120 well-known events, people, things, and places widely noted during his lifetime, from March 1949 to 1989, when the song was released on his album Storm Front. The song was a number-one hit in the US.

probably just a figure of speech....he might be secretly relating it to something going on in his life.
