Elton John - You're So Static Lyrics

You're So Static Lyrics - Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album caribou

Ive a constant ache in the morning light
Its on account of the night before
Some park lane lady in a shady bar
Took a fancy to the watch I wore

But I can still remember how she laughed at me
As I spun around and hit the bed
She said thank you honey, forget about the money
This pretty watchll do instead

City living woman, you're so static
Matching your men with a hook and eye
If you're gonna spend the summer in new york city
Them women oh oh oh they're gonna slice your pie

Said you're so static, baby Ive had it
Rolling in a yellow cab
Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle
If they catch you, Oh oh oh it could turn out bad

Its a show me what you want, I'll show you what Ive got
I can show you a real good time
Shes a friend indeed of a friend in need
But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying

Show me what you want, I'll show you what I've got

Elton John - Your Sister Can't Twist Lyrics

Your Sister Can't Twist Lyrics - Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road

I could really get off being in your shoes
I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues
A heard of a place at the back of town
Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down

I really got buzzed when your sister said
"throw away them records `cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight i learned for certain that the blues expired

Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
She can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

Somebody help me `cause the bug bit me
Now i'm in heaven with the aching feet
But i'll be back tonight where the music plays
And your sister rocks all my blues away

I really got buzzed when your sister said
"throw away them records `cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight i learned for certain that the blues expired

Elton John - Young Gifted And Black Lyrics

Young Gifted And Black Lyrics - Elton John

Young, gifted and black
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black
Open your heart to what I mean

In the whole world you know
There's a million boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black
And that's a fact

Young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There's a world waiting for you
This is a quest that's just begun

When you feel really low
Yeah, there's a great truth you should know
When you're young, gifted and black
Your soul's intact

Young, gifted and black
How I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth

Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it's at

Elton John - You Gotta Love Someone Lyrics

You Gotta Love Someone Lyrics - Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk single in 1990

You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky
You can break the rules but before you try
You gotta love someone
You gotta love someone

You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon
You can beat the clock, but before high noon
You gotta love someone
You gotta love someone

Youve got one life with a reason
You need two hearts on one side
When you stand alone and there's no one there
To share the way it feels inside and baby

You can cheat the devil and slice a piece of the sun
Burn up the highway but before you run
You gotta love someone
You gotta love someone

When you're gonna play with fire
You let someone share the heat
When you're on your own and there's no one there
To cool the flames beneath your feet and baby

You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky
You can break the rules but before you try
You gotta love someone
You gotta love someone

You gotta love someone
You gotta love someone

Elton John - You Can Make History Lyrics

You Can Make History Lyrics - Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the 1996 us album love songs

I can feel the time closing in
I can feel the years crawling through my skin
And if i doubt myself i can count on the rain
To cover the tears of this aging game

But i can count on you to play your part
I don't miss a beat of your animal heart
And when you push from behind i know i can
Cover a mountain with the palm of my hand

And oh babe, you can make history young again
You could rewrite, you could decide
The things that should or shouldn't have been
You could look at me in the scheme of things
Oh babe, you could make history young again

I can watch the weeks sweeping by
I can recollect the hearts hanging out to dry
When the world shuts down i can touch my fears
I can hear lost youth ringing in my ears

But i lost nothing when i gained you
You just blew me away with yesterdays news
When you run your fingers down my spine
It's like throwing a switch on the hands of time

Ancient minds, ancient lives
Got a way of coming around
If i knew then what i know now
I'd make it back to you somehow

Elton John - Yellow River Lyrics

Yellow River Lyrics - Elton John

So long, boy you can take my place
I've got my papers, I've got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To Yellow River

Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love
Yellow River

Yellow River
Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River
Yellow River is in my blood, it's the place I love

Got no time for explanations
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleeping underneath the moon
At Yellow River

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From Yellow River

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
From Yellow River

Elton John - Yellow Brick Road Lyrics

Yellow Brick Road Lyrics - Elton John

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny black toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a carton of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny black toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

Elton John - Written In The Stars Lyrics

Written In The Stars Lyrics - Elton John

I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well

Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand

Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time

Is this God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

Elton John - Writing Lyrics

Writing Lyrics - Elton John

Is there anything left
Maybe steak and eggs
Waking up to washing up
Making up your bed
Lazy days my razor blade
Could use a better edge

It's enough to make you laugh
Relax in a nice cool bath
Inspiration for navigation
Of our new found craft
I know you and you know me
It's always half and half

And we were oh oh, so you know
Not the kind to dawdle
Will the things we wrote today
Sound as good tomorrow
We will still be writing
In approaching years
Stifling yawns on Sundays
As the weekends disappear

We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough to see it through

Elton John - Wrap Her Up Lyrics

Wrap Her Up Lyrics - Elton John

There are ladies, illegal X's
Mona Lisa's, well connected
They may be shady, English roses
Blue blooded, turned up noses

Money talks, see what it catches
Postage paid, no strings attached
She's a honey, she's a tramp
Roaring twenties, molls and vamps

Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me
Wrap her up, she is all I need
Wrap her up, I only get one chance
Beasts and beauties, but they all can dance

Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me
Wrap her up, she is all I need
Wrap her up
Give her to me, wrap her up

Is she foreign, legs eleven
Italian girls, take me to heaven
You pretty babies, from Paris, France
Crazy horses, love to dance

Elton John - Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (Nyc) Lyrics

Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (Nyc) Lyrics - Elton John

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

[chorus:]
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

[repeat chorus]
