Elton John [보컬,작곡,피아노,오르간,키보드,코러스]

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight′s hitting something
That′s been known to change the weather
We′ll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You′re gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they′re so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they′re weird and they′re wonderful
Oh Bennie she′s really keen
She′s got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they′re blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who′s right and who′s wrong

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The word she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me cloer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy dan today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

It's a human sigh
when things go wrong
When the scent
of her lingers
And temptations
strong
In to the boundary
of each married man
Sweet deceipt
comes a callin'
And negativity lands
cold cold heart
Hard done by you
some things
Look better baby
just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
just a simple word
It's two hearts living
in two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice
at all
Mutual
misunderstanding
After the fact
sensitivity
Builds a prison
in the final act
We loose direction
no stone unturned
No tears to damn you
when jealousy burns
Cold cold heart
hard done by you
Some things
look better baby
Just passing through
and it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
it's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
but it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice it's
no sacrifice at all~

Cold cold heart
hard done by you
Some things
look better baby
Just passing through
and it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
it's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
but it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice it's
no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice at all
no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice
at all~

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

What I got to do to make you love me
내가 어떻게 해야 당신이 날 사랑해줄까요
What I got to do to make you care
당신의 관심을 받기 위해 난 뭘해야 하는거죠
What do I do when lightning strikes me
번개가 치고 내가 깨어났을때
And I wake to find that you're not there
당신이 내옆에 없다면 난 어떻게 해야 하죠

What I got to do to make you want me
내가 어떻게 해야 당신이 날 원할까요
What I got to do to be heard
당신이 내 말을 듣게 하려면 어떻게 해야하죠
What do I say when it's all over
모든게 끝나면 나는 무슨 말을 해야하죠
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
미안하다는 말은 가장 어려운 말 같아요

It's sad, so sad
슬프죠 정말 슬퍼요
It's a sad, sad situation
너무 슬픈 상황이에요
And it's getting more and more absurd
더 불합리한 상황이 되어가고 있죠

It's sad, so sad
슬프죠 너무 슬퍼요
Why can't we talk it over
왜 우리는 더이상 이야기할 수 없는 건가요
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
오... 미안하다는 말은 가장 어려운 것 같군요

Blue eyes
baby's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
on a blue blue day
Blue eyes
baby's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say
blue eyes holding
Back the tears
holding back the pain
Baby's got blue eyes
and she's alone again
Blue eyes
baby's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
watching over me
Blue eyes woo
I love blue eyes
When I'm by her side
where I long to be
I will see
blue eyes laughing
In the sun
laughing in the rain
Baby's got blue eyes
and I am home
And I am home again
blue eyes
Laughing in the sun
laughing in the rain
Baby's got Blue eyes
and I am home again~

* Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tailed eyes heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

** Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heel
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Repeat **

Repeat *

Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those, who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

If I was a sculptor, but then again no,
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done,
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song,
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on.

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

I saw you dancin' out the ocean
Running fast along the sand
A spirit born of earth and water
Fire flying from your hands

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom feels where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Babe, you're the one

There are caravans we follow
Drunken nights in dark hotels
When chances breathe between the silence
Where s*x and love no longer gel

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom feels where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Ooh babe, you're the one

(repeat chorus x2

When I think of those East End lights
Muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer
And I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
* And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

I never realised the passing hours
Of evening showers
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

Repeat *

And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Repeat *

Someone saved my life tonight.....

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you as you give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever, true

Give me more true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Gotta give me your true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

There's calm surrender.
평온한 감정에 빠져있어요
To the rush of day.
숨가쁜 하루 속에서..
When the heat of the rollring wind.
Can be turned away.
여기저기 불어오는 바람의 열기가 외면될때..

An enchanted moment.
매력적인 순간이죠.
And it sees me through.
그리고 그건 나를 꿰뚫어 봅니다.
It's enough for this restless warrior.
이 쉬지않는 바람은
Just to be with you.
당신과 함께 하기에 충분합니다.

And can you feel the love tonight?
오늘밤 사랑을 느껴보실래요?
It is where we are.
우리가 있는 곳에서요..
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer.
이 순진한 방랑자에게는 멀리 떨어져
That we got this far.
있는것도 별 문제가 되진 않아요

And can you feel the love tonight.
오늘밤 사랑을 느껴보실래요?
How it's laid to rest.
휴식을 위해 얼마나 누워있었는지!
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds.
Believe the very best.
왕이나 방랑자나 이 최고의 순간을 믿게
하는 것은 충분하지요

There's a time for everyone.
모두에게 시간은 다 있지요
If they only learn.
사는것에만 집착한다면
That the twisting kaleidoscope.
차례대로 모든것들이 주마등처럼
Move us all in turn.
지나갈 겁니다.

There's rhyme and reason.
여기 리듬과 이유가 있어요
To the wild out door.
문밖의 거친 바람에도
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager.
이 박복한 여행자의 가슴이
Beats in time with yours.
당신과 때를 같이하여 고동치고 있을때..

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds.
Believe the very best.
왕이나 방랑자나 이 최고의 순간을 믿게
하는 것은 충분하지요

From the day
we arrive
On the planet
and blinking step
Into the sun
there's more to be see
Than can ever be seen
more to do
Than can ever
be done
Some say eat or
be eaten
Some say
live and let live
But all I agreed
as they join
The stampede
you should
Never take more
than you give
In the circle
of life
It's the wheel
of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
on the path unwinding
In the circle
in the circle of life
Some of us fall
by the wayside
And some of us soar
to the stars
And some of us sail
through our troubles
And some have to
live with the scars
There's far too much
to take in here
More to find than
can ever be found
But the sun
rolling high
Through the sapphire
sky keeps great
And small on the
endless round
In the circle
of life
It's the wheel
of fortune
It's the leap
of faith
It's the band
of hope
Till we find
our place
On the path
unwinding yeah
In the circle
in the circle of life
It's the wheel
of fortune yeah
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
on the patch
Unwinding yeah
In the circle
In the circle of life
on the path
Unwinding yeah
In the circle
In the circle
of life~

Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
Your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway, you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that
Promise you that you'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

You'll be blessed

We've been crippled in love
Short changed hung out to dry
We've chalked on the walls
A slogan or two about life
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face down

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you

We've been living with sorrow
Been up, down and all around
We've buried our feelings
A little too deep in the ground
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face down

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you

But tied to the same track
The two of us look back
At oncoming trains ahead
How many more times
Can we lay on the line
Watching our love hang by a thread

So please,please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove
So please,please,please,please
Let me grow old with you

Life
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything

Life
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything

Life
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything
Life isn't everything

Life...

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man


And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground


Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave


There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

Yell help, too many cooks and a bird in the bush, yell help
Yell help, if your mirror busts and your cat gets cussed, yell help
`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking
Down the road you find another sweet lady cooking
So I gotta yell help

Yell help, some shelter from the storm like the travel agent warned
Yell help, if you can help your superstitions they gonna keep you warm
`Cause down the road you find someone else who's looking
Down the road you seen another sweet lady cooking
So I gotta yell help

I wish tonight wasn't Wednesday night
I wish it wasn't the thirteenth of July, yell help
And you're looking at the guy whose eyes can't deny
That he wishes he were somewhere else tonight

Well I met this woman down in New Orleans
Lord she built just like a dream
Even wore stockings that had seams
And she was ugly

Now hell I don't mind women of her kind
I'll even pay sometimes for a woman that's ugly

She built like a steamroller
Just the kind to mow you over anytime
Hey the moment might arrive

On bourbon street
Well the ugliest woman you'll ever meet
But she's mine all mine and she's ugly
So I better yell help

Can you tell me how old Dan might have done it
If he'd been here now, holy cow
My stars might have been read on the planet Mars
Because I don't have foresight to see
If we still be together in the twenty first
In the twenty first century

He's our flying ace, pilot of the future
In an endless space, holy cow
My eyes never saw a rocket that was quite that size
Because I don't have the energy
To be cat and mouse for the champions
For the champions of destiny

So long captain Dan
I fail to see what motivates your hands
Goodbye restless night
You know I loved Dan Dare, but I couldn't make his flight
So long, so long

Dan Dare doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
He doesn't know it
But I liked the Mekon

Like a corn in a field I cut you down
I threw the last punch too hard
After years of going steady, well I thought that it was time
To throw in my hand for a new set of cards

And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend
I figured we'd painted too much of this town
And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon
And I knew then I had lost what should have been found
I knew then I had lost what should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed can't we patch it up
You know I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet honey in the gun of Robert Ford

Like a child when his toy's been stepped on
That's how it all seemed to me
I burst the bubble that both of us lived in
And I'm damned if I'll ever get rid of this guilt that I feel

And if looks could kill then I'd be a dead man
Your friends and mine don't call no more
Hell, I thought it was best but now I feel branded
Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law
Breaking up's sometimes like breaking the law

You're not a ship to carry my life
You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights
I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here
For I need your love your love protects my fears

And I wonder sometimes and I know I'm unkind
But I need you to turn to when I act so blind
And I need you to turn to when I lose control
You're my guardian angel who keeps out the cold

Did you paint your smile on, well I said I knew
That my reason for living was for loving you
We're related in feeling but you're high above
You're pure and you're gentle with the grace of a dove

Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master
His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
But the light in his eyes will see no more bright
As the sheep that he locked in the pen

There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
But now it lies empty so cold and so bare
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there

By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For sentiment touched him as Cyclamen holds him
And later men came from the town
Who said clear the child this won't take a while
And Gulliver's gone with the dawn

Whenever I hear good-byes
Reminds me, baby, of you
I break down and cry
The next time I'll be true

Feels as if we lost romance
Reminds me, baby, of you
I took a crazy chance
The next time I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Remind me, baby, of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I'll be true, yeah

Whispers in the back room
And cries on every tune, every tune

And the music don't feel like it did
When I felt it with you
Nothing that I do or feel ever feels
Like I felt it with you

When I'm messing round
Reminds me, baby, of you
I really let you down
The next time I'll be true, I'll be true

Holding all the pictures that my life draw
I never find a missing love
Remembering all the rays that have been made
But never cloudy leaving love

Ask me what it is that makes it special
Why is it so real to me
It's knowing who keeps their place in my heart
It's knowing how is it I can feel you
It's knowing never will I change my mind, baby
When I think about love I think about you
When I think about love I think about you

Too many times I've turned my emotions on and off
Without realizing what it does
I know what's moved me and kept me going this far
But I never questioned what it was

I have sold myself through and through
I have walked in the darkness too
I've felt a red sun, the living proof
Washed my hands in the honest truth

I have carried this weight time after time
I have bettered the dumb and the blind
I've seen dignity fail and colors run
Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun

And we walk, yes we walk
And we walk with the power every day
Never letting the light slip away

Reaching out, reaching in
Touching truth and touching skin
Never letting the light slip away
And we walk with the power every day

If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn
We've had fire long enough to learn
Keeping me whole is a healing light
Kept alive by the flames of night

Walk tall in the power day after day
Never, never, never lose sight of the way
See the dawn come and the dusk end
See the power rise from an open hand

Lady luck and the four leaf clover
Won't be as hurt as I feel all over
My life for one special occasion
`Til you leave in depth the situation

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

My car got repossessed this morning
Harder times I haven't seen in years
Able to throw me a life preserver
`Cause I'm about to drown in my own tears

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down
Standing on shakey ground
Ever since you put me down

Well well well
Standing on shakey ground
Shaking, shakey ground
Standing, standing
Standing on shakey ground

Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you as you give to me
Love forever, true
Love forever, true

Give me more true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

Gotta give me your true love
Oh yeah
True love, true love

If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you

If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you

Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus sideshows
You laughed in the rain
You stayed with the full moon
You searched for the stars
Thank God it's heaven
Here we both are

Where have you been are you still on my side
Is that love or regret that I see in your eyes
How many years have we played out this game
Every time we come close the answer's always the same

I guess some souls get restless under the skin
There's a shortage by half of marrying men
I know that I love you but I love to be free
So tell me what do you want, yeah from a gypsy like me

I need a ring on my finger, champagne on ice
One man to show me the best part of life
Is that what you want
Yeah, that's what I need

A home and a family makes sense for us
A solid foundation built out of trust
Do you think you can find that with someone like me
Two arms to hold you, one place to be
Are just some of the things that a woman needs

I've been shortchanged and cheated so many times
But you're all that I've wanted For all of my life
I've searched for the reasons, known how I've felt
But what can I give you when I can't trust myself

I want to be good, I want to be strong
But I treated him bad, I've done him wrong

I've taken his money, I'm given him hell
And he takes it all 'cause he knows me well

We can say what we mean and mean what we say
We don't like to mess around
But we're there to hold each other up
When we're falling down

Just like an old friend
Putting me on my feet again
Giving me back my pride then
Letting me go
Just like an old friend
Putting me in my place again
Giving me back my hope then
Letting me know that he's an old friend

I don't suffer no fools *I testify*
But he must be one for being by my side
I've broken his heart
I've shaken his tree
But still he doesn't want anything from a fool like me

We won't talk for a year or two
Maybe when we do we won't say much
Even so we know that out of mind is never out of touch

We're having a man-to-man
Don't want to get sentimental
But both of us understand
We'll never have to say goodbye, just see you later

On and On
On and On

She broke my heart, he hurt me too
That's something that only unworthy souls do

They said goodbye, we say hello
An introduction for a perfect love to grow

Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on
Let's stop thinking about the past
And start thinking about the future
So that love can go on and on

She said she'd stay, he said that too
So sad when you find out your love has found a new

She made me cry, he made me weep
But life has love in store for us that's ooh so sweet

On and On (love keeps going on)
On and On (they've got the whole of life)
On and On (love keeps going on)
On and

It's time to say goodbye to crying eyes and broken dreams
And get back to the joy that to each other we will bring
That starts from summer love to last through autumn, winter, spring
Our hearts will sing forever, love

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off me
Honey when you knock on my door
I gave you my key

Nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us babe
I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hanging on my wall
But it can't seem to come to me
When I call your name
I realized it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me, they don't groove me
Like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

I play my games of fantasy
I pretend I don't see reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of you being there

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
To make me feel better
Let's stay together

I'm so
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet

I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet

Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet

Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet

Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now

I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you

I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you

Born to lose
Oh it seems so hard to bear
When I wake and find that you're not there
Ooh you've grown tired and now you say we're through
I'm born to lose
And now I'm losing you

Born to lose
I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose
And now I'm losing you
Born to lose
And now Elton I'm losing you

I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

*Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal

*Repeat

Look at you, could I have been so foolish and so green
A face that smiled at every passing scene
Look at you, you're lost behind the web of woven time
When each emotion pinball in your mind

Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile
I was the judge and jury at your trial
Look at me, you know the road ahead will twist and turn
Now I have the time to stand and learn

But you and I have come so far
With a shaken faith
From the pain of a broken heart
Toward feeling great
Feel like life has just begun
No more singing duets for one

I hold your picture here beside the bed
You had a party raging in your head
Look at me, I look at you with vacancy and hurt
And here today all I can do is learn

Look at me, I'm happy now I see your face and smile
I was the judge and jury at your trial
Look at me, you know the road ahead will twist and turn
Now I have the time to stand and learn

I have this picture of me looking at you
Looking at me
And I would like to say
Goodbye sweet memory

This is my house
This is where I live
That is the winter
Those are the trees
I can hear them breathe
This is my bed
This is where I sleep
That was the dark
Those are my dreams
They belong to me

This is my floor
This is where I lie
This is a square room
That was a bright light
These are not my eyes
What is my soul
Where is my tired heart
That is the question
Where is the answer
Inside my house

And I sit by the window
And I wish I was rain
I want to fall from the sky
I want to get wet all over again

'Cause this my house
It belongs to me
Inside my head
It's all that's left
This is my house
This is my bed
This is where I sleep
That was the dark
Those are my dreams
They belong to me

This is my house

Well there's slim times when my words won't rhyme
And the hills I face are a long hard climb
I just sit cross legged with my old guitar
It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star

Well it makes me laugh Lord it makes me cry
And I think for once let me just get high
Let me get electric put a silk suit on
Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun

And root-toot-shoot myself to fame
Every kid alive gonna know my name
An overnight phenomenon like there's never been
A motivated supersonic king of the scene

I'll be a teenage idol, just give me a break
I'm gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes
You can't imagine what it means to me
I'm gonna grab myself a place in history
A teenage idol that's what I'm gonna be

Well life is short and the world is rough
And if you're gonna boogie boy you got to be tough
Nobody knows if I'm dead or alive
I just drink myself to sleep each night

And so I pray to the teenage god of rock
If I make it big let me stay on top
You got to cut me loose from this one room dive
Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive

When I was a boy I had a lot of fun
I lived by the sea, I was a fisherman's son
My mother she was a fisherman's wife
She was scrubbing floors most of her life

They said screw you
I ain't got nothing to lose
I could paper a matchbox
With the money I use

At the school I attended I got into fights
I was beaten in an alley on a cold winter night
The teachers cared less for the blood in our veins
They got most of their thrills out of using a cane

They said screw you
Oh you bloody young fools
I could get more sense
Out of the back end of a mule

So you see there's man who get paid for being slaves
And men who get paid for being free
And there's men behind bars who pray for the light
And men in the suburbs who pray for the night
And they're all trying to climb to the top of the mine
And all of them say most of the way
Screw you

I worked in the mill from seven till nine
Tears in my eyes nearly drove me half-blind
Trying to make wages that weren't even there
Taking hell from a foreman with the build of a bear

He said screw you
This is all you'll ever do
It's the only existence for someone like you

I lived in a tenement six floors above
I lent you my records and I lent you my love
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
That's a dirty and a low-down trick
My folks all think you're mean

But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty
You always set those break-ups in the movies
And just like a light honey you put me out
Now I'm gonna do my best
To get you back in the nest you came from

You can erase me if you want to
Turn your back in other men
But whenever you're ready
Honey, we'll go steady again

It's nasty without you in my little room
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
I was joking with those things I said
I couldn't have been thinking
If you don't come back I think I'll crack
Just like my old ceiling

Someday out of the blue
In a crowded street
Or a deserted square
I'll turn and I'll see you
As if our love were new
Someday we can start again
Someday soon

Here comes the night
Here come the memories
Lost in your arms
Down in the foreign field
Not so long ago
Seems like eternity
Those sweet afternoons
Still capture me

I still believe
I still put faith in us
We had it all
And watched it slip away
Where are we now
Not where we want to be
Those hot afternoons
Still follow me

Someday out of the blue
Maybe years from now
Or tomorrow night
I'll turn and I'll see you
As if we always knew
Someday we will live again
Someday soon

Has anybody here seen Razor Face
I heard he's back looking for a place to lay down
Must be getting on
Needs a man who's young to walk him round
Needs a man who's young to walk him round

Oh it must be hard for the likes of you to get by
In a world that you just can't see through
And it looks so cold
How does it feel to know you can't go home
How does it feel to know you can't go home

Come on Razor Face my old friend
I'll meet you down by the truck stop inn
With a bottle of booze in the back of my car
You're a song on the lips of an aging star

Razor Face, oh amazing grace
Protects you like a glove
And I'll never learn the reason why
I love your Razor Face

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but not for me
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds are grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me

It all began so well, but what an end
This is the time a feller needs a friend
When every happy plot ends with a marriage knot
And there's no knot for me

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

*Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can't keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

*repeat

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got

we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

*repeat

*Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel and we're
Gonna get married
Gee, I really love you and we're
Gonna get married
Goin' to the chapel of love

Spring is here
The sky is blue
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
Birds all sing
As if they knew
Today's the day
We'll say I do
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

*Repeat

Bells will ring
The sun will shine
(whoa-whoa-whoa)
I will be hers and
she'll be mine
We'll love until
The end of time
And we'll never be lonely anymore
Because we're

*Repeat to fade

When I look back boy I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
Looking for an answer trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind

They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh the change is gonna do me good

You better get back honky cat
Living in the city ain′t where it′s at
It′s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It′s like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine

Well I read some books and I read some magazines
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule

They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart
But how can you stay, when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about the times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you

Don't you look back
Don't you look back

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

See the little baby
Wrapped in a manger
On Christmas Morning

Amen, Amen, Amen

See him in the Temple
Talking with the Elders
Tomorrows Wisdom

Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

Down at the Jordan
And John was baptising
And Savin' all sinners

Amen, Amen, Amen

See 'em at the Seaside
Talking with the fisherman
And makin' disciples

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

Sing it through the mountains

Amen chorus

Down at the Jordon
John was baptising
Savin, savin, all sinners

Amen choruses??

The Heart Of Every Girl

In the heart of every girl
There's a woman waking up
Like sunlight spreads across the world
A smile for us is just enough
But in the heart of every girl
There's a homespun family dream
A light that's filled with so much joy
From a curly-head beauty to a teenage queen

And honeymoons in summer prove
We'll always love a bride
The gift you give us all
Is the one you hold inside
This lucky life, this crazy mixed up world
Is all because we love what lives
In the heart of every girl.

In the heart of every girl
There's always room for Valentines
And boys to kneel and tip their hands
With words as sweet as summer wine
And in the heart of every girl
There is a rose for every spring
A peach that's fragrant and divine
She shines just like a wedding ring.

And honeymoons in summer prove…

Eyes can light up any room
The moment she steps in
Intoxicating everyone
A life alone should be a sin.

And honeymoons in summer prove…

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down

When the real thing goes wrong
And you can't get it on
And your love she has gone
And you got to carry on
And you shoot out the light
Ain't coming home for the night
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price

Somebody please, please help me
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down

Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well you know, you know, you know the price is right!

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees

Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright
It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no
Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Whatever gets you to the light 'salright, 'salright
Out the blue or out of sight 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
It's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come, yeah
Oh oh oh old dirt road

Ain't no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah yeah yeah

Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay
I said uh, hey Mr. Human can ya rainmaker too?
He said I guess it's O.K. ya know the only thing we need is water
Cool, clear water, water

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
Better than a mudslide mamma when the morning comes, yeah
Oh oh oh oh old dirt road

Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
So long, so long
Bye bye

Don't wanna be a drag, everybody gotta bag
I know you know, 'bout the emperor's clothes

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Well it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up
Sunday morning I just gotta give it up
Come Monday momma and I just gotta run away
You know it's such a drag to face another day

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

You know the more it change, the more it stays the same
You gotta hang on in, you gotta cut the string

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know, you don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless Spirits depart
Still we're deep in each other's hearts

Some people say it's over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year's echo

Bless you whoever you are
Holding her now
Be warm and kind hearted
And remember though love is strange
Now and forever our love will remain

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
As the years roll away
And the price that I paid
And the straws slips away

You don't have to suffer
It is what it is
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!

I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
I'm scarred, uh huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just wanna stay alive

You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well!

Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't wanna see the red raw meat
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart

I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin' stone

Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She gets me through this god awful lonliness
A natural high butterfly Oh I,
I need, need, need her

Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat and forget who I am
I need, need, need, need her

Well I was wondering how long this could go on, on and on
Well I thought I could never be surprised
But could it be that I bit my own tongue
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

A bird of paradise
The sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind she blew my mind think that I
I love, love, love, love, love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her

Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love

(This is a story about your friend and mine
Who is it, who is it, who is it?)

There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk
You're mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Your phone don't ring no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall

Well your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied
Well your teeth are clean but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Beef Jerky, beef jerky, beef jerky

Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.

Well, i've been across to the other side,
I've shown you ev'rything, i got nothing to hide.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What it is? What it is?
All i can show you is it's all show biz,
All i can tell you is it's all show biz.

Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine.

Been across the water now so many times,
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away,
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away.
What you say? What you say? What you say?

Well, i get up in the morning
And i'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!

Then i'm lying in the darkness
And i know i can't get to sleep, oo-wee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey,
Nobody needs you when you're upside down.
Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday,
Ev'rybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

Well, I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
It may sound funny
But I don't believe she's comin', no, no

Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no
Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, uh huh huh
You know that I love you
Yes, I love you, uh huh

Well, I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh huh
It may sound funny
But I don't believe she's comin', no, no

Boogie down one time

Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no, no
Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no, no
You know that I love you
Always thinking of you, yeah, yeah

Hey hey hey rock

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

<< Rocket Man (I Think It's Going To Be A Long, Long Time) >>
--- Elton John

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

There's a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And I've taken just as much as I can stand
Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground

Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Slave

There's a rumour of a war that's yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back

When I look back boy I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
Looking for an answer trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights honey I was blind

They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
And oh the change is gonna do me good

You better get back honky cat
Living in the city ain′t where it′s at
It′s like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It′s like trying to drink whisky from a bottle of wine

Well I read some books and I read some magazines
About those high class ladies down in New Orleans
And all the folks back home well, said I was a fool
They said oh, believe in the Lord is the golden rule

They said stay at home boy, you gotta tend the farm
Living in the city boy, is going to break your heart
But how can you stay, when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go

It's a little bit funny
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those
who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
we both could live
If I was a sculptor,
ha but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much
but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody t
his is your song
It may be quite simple
but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind t
hat I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well
they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind
while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
You see I've forgotten
if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
this is your song
It may be quite simple but
now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is
while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

(feat. Elton John)

Why don't ya come on down,
let me tell ya what I got now
Baby please come on down,
let me tell ya what I got now
I got the house rockin' blues
everybody's been talkin' about

Gonna start after midnight
and rock it til the break of dawn
Gonna start after midnight
and rock it til the break of dawn
Ya don't have to be a saint
cuz your daddy don't do ya no harm

chorus
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, rock this house
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, rock this house
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, rock this house
We're gonna rock, gonna rock, rock this house
We're gonna rock, rock this house ... tonight

She's a tall lanky woman, man she's built for speed
She's a tall lanky woman, man she's built for speed
I'm crazy 'bout that woman,
cuz she's got just what I need

chorus

You can set up a table cuz that I think she'd like
You can set up a table cuz that I think she'd like
My baby's in town
you know we're gonna rock tonight

chorus
chorus

From this day on I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down beneath the Southern land
It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands

I'll take my horse and I'll ride the northern plain
To wear the color of the greys and join the fight again
I'll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun

[Chorus]
I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that's just fine alright
Cause there's fighting there and the company needs men
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

As soon as this is over we'll go home
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring

[Chorus]

It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

(feat. Elton John)

[Elton John:]
On a hill long ago
On a cold winter's night
In a land far away
Three kings saw a light
And from heaven it shone
Like God's
God's own crown
And it guided three kings
Into Bethlehem town

[Joss Stone:]
Oh they came bearing gifts
And so said each one
Let's call this day Christmas
From this
Moment on
We'll be calling it Christmas
In, in honour of him
The child in the manger
Our saviour and king

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Elton John:]
Oh a simple belief
Was the start of it all
A small child asleep
On a bed made of straw

[Joss Stone:]
At the back of an inn
Where, where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy that
This moment would bring

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
(Down through, down through)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas, ooh
Is here
(Is here)

Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me
my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody
you're all for me
I'll write a symphony
just for you and me
If you let me love you
I'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you

Say the word and I'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so
We'll hear the music ring
from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world
With a lullaby
so the angels will know us
Angels will know us
Are you ready

Yes I am

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

Life
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything

Life
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything

Life
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything
Life isn′t everything

Life...

Goodbye Norma Jean

Like a candle in the wind

We heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
The common sense I
sometimes lack
Has opened up a seismic crack
We've fallen in and
I can't pull back
And I guess
we'll have to stay
In open arms we put our trust
they put us on a big red bus
Twin spirits soaking up a dream
Fuel to feed the press machine
After years
that were long and lean
We're finally on our way
And Richard Nixon's
on his knees
he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if
you and me
could help him in some way
A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do
A small diversion
caused by two
pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA

Neither of us
understood the way
things ticked in Hollywood
We just loaded in and
grabbed the bat
With little room to
swing a cat
And pretty soon
we were where it's at
Or so the papers say
And all around us
suntanned teens
beauty like we'd never seen
Our heroes led us
by the hand
Through Brian Wilson's
promised land
Where Disney's God and
he commands
Both mice and men to stay
And Richard Nixon's
on his knees
he's sent so many overseas
He'd like to know if
you and me
could help him in some way
A little camouflage and glue
to mask the evil that men do
A small diversion
caused by two
pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA

In a bright red Porsche on
Sunset I saw Steve McQueen
I guess he's just about
the coolest guy
I've ever seen
And for you and me that
speeding car
is how it's going to be
I see no brakes just open road
and lots of gasoline
Oh we heard Richard Nixon say
welcome to the USA
The common sense I
sometimes lack
Has opened up a
seismic crack
We've fallen in and I can't
pull back
Pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
I've gotta go but you can stay
Pale kids come to play
And we heard Richard Nixon say
I've gotta go but you can stay

It's just like Noah's ark
There's two of every kind
Pretty girls and boys in drag
Walking a fine thin line
Shaking hands and bussing cheeks
Licking their lips like
they could eat Me alive
in a couple of weeks
Yea just like Noah's ark

Italiano promotion men
Chomping a big cigar
Slapping backs and making cracks
About the fags in the bar
Radio boss dipping his nose
in a little white packet
You put it out son
and we'll all back it
Yea it's just like Noah's ark

And the waves are
crashing round us
But we're ready for the flood
And we don't need a sign
like an olive branch
In the beak of a
snow white dove
We're not as dumb
as we might look
You can't keep us in the dark
With me and you it's two by
two just like Noah's ark

These four walls have seen
The Cockettes and the Casters
From San Francisco to Ohio
I've seen beauty and disaster
Cocky young roosters
and little chicks
Flashing smiles
shaking them hips
Trying to hook it up
for the late night shift
Here in Noah's ark
And the waves are
crashing round us
But we're ready for the flood
And we don't need a sign
like an olive branch
In the beak of a snow
white dove
We're not as dumb
as we might look
You can't keep us in the dark
we can so and snap i don't know

just like Noah's ark

wrote it as we saw it
from the centre of the stage
All access to the liars
who claim they wrote a page
But for every tiny dancer
there's a dog that's had its day
The truth is never quite
the same as what the papers say

And the waves are
crashing round us
But we're ready for the flood
And we don't need a sign
like an olive branch
In the beak of a snow
white dove
We're not as dumb
as we might look
You can't keep us in the dark
With me and you it's two by two

just like Noah's ark

I remember it like it was
yesterday
Snow in the park
and skaters on the ice
Long black cars standing
side by side
Loading up the boys at night
Turned up our collars to the
chill of the wind
Caught an innocent smile
from a taxi at the lights
Not something you'd see
on a New York street
It's such an uncommon sight
But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way

Oh the subway rumbled
underneath
Italian lights
where Joey Gallo died
And the man on the door
down at 54's
Letting only the
pretty inside
I'd wake with a stranger
under the covers
Late in the day
and longing for the night
Just like the snowfall
there's so many bodies
But somehow
it feels so right
But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way
And I can feel the magic
And reed million lips
And no matter what my happen
The never sent that she

But I wouldn't have it
any other way
This city's got a thing
about it
don't try to understand it
New York City I'd really
like to stay
New York City
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
I wouldn't have you
any other way
I wouldn't have you

any other way

Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will
end at half past six
What he didn't say
was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio
Was he listening
to the government

Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running
hot up until today
But a wind of change
blew across our sales
We were coasting
on a winning streak
We were kings until
the power failed
We've been living
in a tinderbox
And two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox

Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right
before our eyes
Kept the needle
out of the red balloon
Was he worried
we might go too far
Maybe wind up rhyming
moon and June
The sun descends down in Mexico
While a fancy car
back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame
leads to overkill

Things are gonna have to change

We've been living
he road get filled
We've been living
in a tinderbox
And two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox
Pressure's gonna cook us
if we don't unlock it
Guns going off
if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of
the other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn
out on this beautiful rocket

tinderbox
two sparks can
set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox tinderbox
Two sparks can set
the whole thing off
Rubbing up together
around the clock
Lately we've been getting
more roll than rock
You and me together
in a tinderbox

The sun is up and the
shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with
every little sound
Like the leaf blower
blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on
the other side of town
Oh the TVs on and the
colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight
I'd wish I was dead
Or curled up naked
in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell
suspended by a single thread
And I don't recall
who said it at this time
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down

With a rolled up note
I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet
of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to
level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer
'cause I've cancelled
out the time
And still that saying
gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
So don't knock on my door
don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room
talking to the wall
When you're high as this
you think you know it all
When you're this deep in
there's no place else to fall

And I don't recall
who said it at this time
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
And still that saying
gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow
strong on what you
leave behind
I built it up
and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed
and the house fell down
and the house fell down

He wasn't famous
but I sure did love him
I've got his picture
in a little frame
He lost his life to a big disease
before it even had a name
But there's so many more
and I've lost count
The hows and whys aren't
important now
All that matters is
they came around
And brightened up our lives

She was twenty one
with her life ahead
You don't need to know her name
She breathed her last
on the cold stone floor
of a Hollywood arcade
But fate's right hand
isn't always just
Puts a lot of pressure
on your faith and trust
She was just a little girl
ain't that enough
To rage against the day

And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call
and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and
who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice
in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey the colors run
when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

He shone so bright
with a lust for life
Like the Sun King that he was
His passions hung upon
his walls and were
printed onto cloth
And for reasons
I never understood
About the choices made between
the bad and good
I've tried to figure out but
The pain never goes away

And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call
and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and
who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice
in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey the colors run
when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

And there's marble markers
and little white crosses
Along the beaten path
And I've spread
their ashes on the wind
And I miss John Lennon's laugh

And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call
and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and
who gets to lose
how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call
and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and
who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice
in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey colors run
when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long And they built it high and they built it strong Strong enough to hold the weight of time Long enough to leave some of us behind And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away Standing on the bridge looking at the waves Seen so many jump never seen one saved On a distant beach your song can die On a bitter wind on a cruel tide And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away And the bridge it shines Oh cold hard iron Saying come and risk it all Or die trying And every one of us has to face that day Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away And every one of us that ever came to play Has to cross the bridge or fade away Has to cross the bridge or fade away

I'm no longer counting
I'm not keeping score
I could say my list of lovers
doesn't matter anymore
But some are always in my heart
And some I'm not so sure
Either way they all
left their mark
And for some I found a cure
From one you learn something
Another you learn nothing
And there's one who might
teach you everything
But before I learned to listen
And if indeed someone said it
Then I guess I must have lost
it on the wind

Back when I was younger
each one was a prize
Love just came along and hit
you right between the eyes
one was just a trophy catch
And one was like a curse
Some would want to bleed you dry
Some might quench your thirst
From one you learn something
Another you learn nothing
And there's one who might
teach you everything
But before I learned to listen
And if indeed someone said it
Then I guess I must have lost
it on the wind

From one you learn something
Another you learn nothing
And there's one who might
teach you everything
But before I learned to listen
And if indeed someone said it
Then I guess I must have lost
it on the wind
In cold water I went fishing
in warm seas I cast a line
And swore the heart
I was reeling in
was perfect at the time
You couldn't tell me I was wrong
you couldn't tell me anything
And if you did then I guess
I must have lost it on the wind
And if you did then I guess
I must have lost it on the wind
And if you did then I guess
I must have lost it on the wind

And if you did then I guess
I must have lost it on the wind

Hey how about this
A little conversation tonight
Thinking aloud
how we struggled to find
Our place in the dizzy heights
Don't often do this
We never really get the chance
Nearly froze to death
on Oxford Street
Now we're sitting in the
South of France
Talking through the evening
It's good to shoot the breeze
Just you and me on a balcony
And cicadas singing
in the trees
Old 67 what a time it was
What a time of innocence
what a time we've lost
Raise a glass and have a
laugh have a laugh or two
Here's to old 67
and an older me and you

Sentimental twilight
Conversing on those
virgin days
Laughing about
how the two of us sound
Like a Tennessee
Williams play
Honest it's amazing
That we can get
together at all
For in between the saddle
and the grand piano
We can read the writing
on the wall
Talking through the evening
Sitting here side by side
Just you and me on a balcony
It's a little bit
funny this feeling inside
Old 67 what a time it was
What a time of innocence
what a time we've lost
Raise a glass and have a
laugh have a laugh or two
Here's to old 67
and an older me and you

Old 67 what a time it was
What a time of innocence
what a time we've lost
Raise a glass and have a
laugh have a laugh or two
Here's to old 67
and an older me and you
Here's to old 67
and an older me and you

I've been out on this road some
Can't help feeling
I've been showing
my friends around

I've seen it growing
from next to nothing
Into a giant eating up your town

Called up the tealeaves
and the tarots
Asked the gypsy what she sees
in the palm of our hands

She saw a mountain
and wild deer running
A crazy kid becoming a better man

But we stuck around
for the fireworks
Waiting to explode
Shaped our futures
you a tumbleweed
And me on a yellow brick road
Pleasing the people
some of the time
For better or for worse
An urban soul in a
fine silk Suit
And a heart out west
in a Wrangler shirt
And you can't go back
and if you try it fails
Looking up ahead
I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from
it saying Truth for sale
And that's what we did
No lies at all just
one more tale
About the Captain and the Kid

We've been missing
at times in action
Can't imagine what he said
he might do for you

The devil got to come
to the party sometimes
But he never got to
wear our shoes

Oh we've conjured up
what we created
Way back then
when I was standing up
in six inch heels

Now you're riding off
into the sunset
And I'm still spinning
like a Catherine wheel

But we stuck around
for the battle
Waiting for a plan
To turn you into
the Brown Dirt Cowboy
And me into a rocket man
It pleases the people
some of the time
Digging into our roots
But I got a brand new
pair of shoes
And you're on a horse
in old cowboy boots
And you can't go back
and if you try it fails
Looking up ahead
I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from
it saying Truth for sale
And that's what we did
No lies at all just
one more tale
About the Captain and the Kid

And you can't go back
and if you try it fails
Looking up ahead
I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from
it saying Truth for sale
And that's what we did
No lies at all just
one more tale
About the Captain and the Kid
