Pinky Elton John/Bernie Taupin
I don't want to wake you But I'd like to tell you that I love you That the candlelight fell like a crescent Upon your feather pillow
For there's more ways than one And the ways of the world are a blessing For when Pinky's dreaming She owes the world nothing And her silence keeps us guessing
Pinky's as perfect as the Fourth of July Quilted and timeless Seldom denied The trial and the error of my master plan Now she rolls like the dice In a poor gambler's hands
You don't want to tell me But somehow you've guessed that I know Oh when dawn came this morning You discovered a feeling that burned like a flame in your soul
For there's toast and honey And there's breakfast in bed on a tray Oh it's ten below zero And we're about to abandon our plans for the day

Grimsby Elton John/Bernie Taupin
As I lay dreaming in my bed Across the great divide I thought I heard the trawler boats Returning on the tide And in this vision of my home The shingle beach did ring I saw the lights along the pier That made my senses sing
Oh oh Grimsby, a thousand delights Couldn't match the sweet sights Of my Grimsby Oh England you're fair But there's none to compare with my Grimsby Through nights of mad youth I have loved every sluice in your harbour And in your wild sands from boyhood to man Strangers have found themselves fathers
Take me back you rustic town I miss your magic charm Just to smell your candy floss Or drink in the Skinners Arms No Cordon Bleu can match the beauty Of your pies and peas I want to ride your fairground Take air along the quay

I've Seen The Saucers Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Tune in, wouldn't it be something Rumours spreading into panic I've seen movements in the clearing Someone sent you something satanic
I have to leave you, radar's calling Outside somebody landed Crazy wavelengths leave you helpless Oh don't forget me I'm so stranded
I wouldn't fool you but I've seen the saucers So many times I'm almost in tune Watching them flying in formation Thinking how I could be so immune
I've seen them I've been there with them I can tell you all you want to know Something touched me and I was only sleeping Wouldn't you, wouldn't you like to go
Stars climbing into their planets Systems won, controlled from birth Empty living on this highway Can you see me mother earth
It's so endless whirling onwards Wonder what's cooking at home tonight Maybe if I promise not to say a word They can get me back before the morning light

Ticking Elton John/Bernie Taupin
An extremely quiet child they called you in your school reports He's always taken interest in the subjects that he's taught So what was it that brought the squad car screaming up your drive To notify your parents of the manner in which you died
At St. Patricks every Sunday, Father Fletcher heard your sins Oh, he's unconcerned with competition he never cares to win But blood stained a young hand that never held a gun And his parents never thought of him as their troubled son
Now you'll never get to Heaven Mama said Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking Grow up straight and true blue Run along to bed Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
They had you holed up in a downtown bar screaming for a priest Some gook said His brain's just snapped" then someone called the police You'd knifed a Negro waiter who had tried to calm you down Oh you'd pulled a gun and told them all to lay still on the ground
Promising to hurt no one, providing they were still A young man tried to make a break, with tear-filled eyes you killed That gun butt felt so smooth and warm cradled in your palm Oh your childhood cried out in your head they mean to do you harm"
Don't ever ride on the devil's knee Mama said Remember mama said Ticking, ticking Pay your penence well, my child Fear where angels tread Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking
Within an hour the news had reached the media machine A male caucasian with a gun had gone berserk in Queens The area had been sealed off, the kids sent home from school Fourteen people lying dead in a bar they called the Kicking Mule
Oh they pleaded to your sanity for the sake of those inside Throw out your gun, walk out slow just keep your hands held high But they pumped you full of rifle shells as you stepped out the door Oh you danced in death like a marionette on the vengeance of the law
You've slept too long in silence Mama said Remember Mama said Ticking, ticking Crazy boy, you'll only wind up with strange notions in your head Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking

Teacher I Need You Elton John/Bernie Taupin
I was sitting in the classroom Trying to look intelligent In case the teacher looked at me She was long and she was lean She's a middle-aged dream And that lady means the whole world to me
It's a natural achievement Conquering my homework With her image pounding in my brain She's an inspiration For my graduation And she helps to keep the classroom sane
Oh teacher I need you Like a little child You got something in you To drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education In the lovesick blues Help me get straight come out and say Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I Teacher I need you
I have to write a letter Tell about my feelings Just to let her know the scene Focus my attention On some further education In connection with the birdies and the bees
So I'm sitting in the classroom I'm looking like a zombie I'm waiting for the bell to ring I've got John Wayne stances I've got Erroll Flynn advances And it doesn't mean a doggone thing

Elderberry Wine Elton John/Bernie Taupin
There's a fly in the window A dog in the yard And a year since I saw you There's a trunk in the corner I keep all my letters My bills and demands I keep too
Well I can't help thinking About the times You were a wife of mine You aimed to please me Cooked black-eyed peas-me Made elderberry wine
Drunk all the time Feeling fine on elderberry wine Those were the days We'd lay in the haze Forget depressive times How can I ever get it together Without a wife in line To pick the crop and get me hot On elderberry wine
Round a tree in the summer A fire in the fall Flat out when they couldn't stand The bottle went round Like a woman down south Passed on from hand to hand

Have Mercy On The Criminal Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Have you heard the dogs at night Somewhere on the hill Chasing some poor criminal And I guess they're out to kill Oh there must be shackles on his feet And mother in his eyes ` Stumbling through the devil-dark With the hound pack in full cry
Have mercy on the criminal Who is running from the law Are you blind to the winds of change Don't you hear him any more
Praying Lord you got to help me I am never gonna sin again Just take these chains from around my legs Sweet Jesus I'll be your friend
Now have you ever seen the white teeth gleam While you lie on a cold damp ground You're taking in the face of a rifle butt While the wardens hold you down
And you've never seen a friend in years Oh it turns your heart to stone You jump the walls and the dogs run free And the grave's gonna be your home

Skyline Pigeon Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Turn me loose from your hands Let me fly to distant lands Over green fields, trees and mountains Flowers and forest fountains Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room Projects a shadow cast in gloom And my eyes are mirrors Of the world outside Thinking of the way That the wind can turn the tide And these shadows turn From purple into grey
For just a Skyline Pigeon Dreaming of the open Waiting for the day He can spread his wings And fly away again Fly away skyline pigeon fly Towards the dreams You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning To the smell of new mown hay To laugh and cry, to live and die In the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells Of distant churches sing But most of all please free me From this aching metal ring And open out this cage towards the sun

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

Grow Some Funk Of Your Own Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five The headlines screamed that I was still alive I couldn't understand it I thought I died last night
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town In a little cantina that the boys had found I was desperate to dance Just to dig the local sounds
When along came a senorita She looked so good that I had to meet her I was ready to approach her with my English charm When her brass knuckled boyfriend grabbed me my the arm
And he said grow some funk of your own amigo Grow some funk of your own We no like to with the gringo fight But there might be a death in Mexico tonight If you can't grow some funk of your own amigo Grow some funk of your own Take my advice, take the next flight And grow your funk, grow your funk at home
Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten I knelt to pray Just to see if he would comprehend

I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford) Elton John/Bernie Taupin
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

They must have had the whole thing planned There must have been a hundred If we make a stand I think we'll be outnumbered If I'd had the chance Then I could understand Why I'm a juvenile delinquent In an East End gang
And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive
It's just another street kid on your tail Running on the wrong side of the rails With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town Those street kids making news just being around
I've been bottled and been brained Squealers can't be trusted If we fight tonight You can bet we'll all be busted I'd like to break away From the rut I'm in But beggers can't be choosers And I was born to sin
Let's hear it for the street kids Making news just being around

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy Staring at the same four walls Waiting for the working day to end Then I get home so wasted, worn out I curse at you and tell you How I've done the work of ten to fifteen men How I've struggled for my money Sweated blood to get us by, yeah Well I'm tired of it honey Think I'm gonna have to leave here for a while
All you hear are hard luck stories And the ways I look at life And the way I think the world treats me And the way that I treat my wife
I never seem to look at you And see that somewhere underneath A pair of tired eyes are crying out Well you know I work hard all day long Let me kiss you once with meaning Just to kill this nagging doubt Well you don't deny I do you proud And you expect me to be tired You say there's no future in our lives While I persist I'm putting out the fire
All you hear are hard luck stories Just a few well chosen words Cause you're still the woman of a working man You've got the heart of a working girl

Don't close the shades I'm scared of the darkness I'm cold as a razor blade Inches from madness
Don't let me sleep here They're all trying to kill me I've seen the walls moving They've all heard me screaming, screaming
Feed me Feed my needs and then just leave me Let me go back where you found me Cause I miss my basement The sweet smell of new paint The warmth and the comforts of home So feed me Give me my treatment and free me My arms are so hungry so feed me
The room's so distorted And filled with mad shadows I feel like a carcass White like a marrow bone
It all seems so long ago I remember them laughing I heard the ambulance scream I saw the red light flashing, flashing

I've got a good by-line They all know my name The queen of the sly line I feed on your fame But I got my heart in the right place It's all in the game
If you're doing fine boy You got my vote But step out of line boy And I'll go for your throat Cause I got my heart in the right place So give me a quote
I'll ask you some questions I'll tell you some lies You'll open your heart like a friend I'll make up some answers You won't recognise The you I create with my pen But my heart's in the right place Now and again
Ny heart's in the right place Know what I mean My heart's in the right place On page seventeen
I'll ask you some questions I'll tell you some lies You don't understand, but you will I'll make up some answers Cut you down to size Then I move in for the kill But my heart's in the right place My heart's in the right place My heart's in the right place It's part of the skill
Heart's in the right place I'm gonna destroy you And your reputation Don't count for nothing with me Cause I'm an old bitch you see And my heart's in the right place Don't you agree
Heart's in the right place Just wait and see Heart's in the right place Don't you agree

Nobody Wins Jean-Paul Dreau/Gary Osborne
They must have loved each other once But that was many years ago And by the time I came along Things were already going wrong I felt the pain in their pretence The side they tried hard not to show But through the simple eyes of youth It wasn't hard to see the truth
And in the end nobody wins When love begins to fall apart And it's the innocent who pay When broken dreams get in the way The game begins, the game nobody wins
They must have loved each other once Before the magic slipped away And as their life became a lie What love remained began to die I used to hide beneath the sheets I prayed that time would find a way But with the passing of the years I watched as laughter turned to tears
We used to love each other once With all the passion we possessed But people change as time goes by Some feelings grow while others die But if we learn from what we see And face the truth while we still can Then though the passion may be gone Some kind of love can still live on

Staring all alone And your grace and style Cut me to the bone With your razor blade smile I watched you playing pool It's all around the school That I love you
I love your gypsy hair And dark brown eyes Always unprepared For your pointed replies Cynical and lean I lie awake and dream About you
If you only knew What I'm going through Time and again I get ashamed To say your name It's hard to grin and bear When you're standing there My lips are dry I catch your eye and look away
Sitting in my room I've got it bad Crying for the moon They think I'm mad They say it isn't real But I know what I feel And I love you
But I would give my life For a single night Beside you

The Fox Elton John/Bernie Taupin
Being wirey and thinking loudly About the things sent to make you move You can't help it, there's no one in the world Knows you just, just the way you do So we keep darting through the holes As the hunter and the fox Run the gauntlet's savage road
Winter's heavy and partly cloudly And the snowfall leaves the tracks that catch a few Bit if you're wiley, you will leave them lying Snared up in the traps that they set for you And it's an evergreen affair As temptation taunts the fox Into the hunter's waiting lair
And for mile after mile you'll never see me tire You'll never see me slow down, for a while Cause I am the fox, like it or not I'm always gonna be there running over the rock Yes I am the fox, a fascinating cross Of sharp as a whip and tough as an ox Yes I am the fox
It may sound crazy but it's often lonely And the restless heart should be captured once in a while Then you can use them, and you often fool them Into believing whatever you desire So I'll keep moving through the night The hunter and the hunted On their designated flights

My friends warned me about you I laughed, how could I doubt your love Then I saw you with him And my world crumbled around me I felt life slip away from me There's a void inside me Where my heart used to be So now, this was a game you were just playing And now I'm losing you
