Ballad Of A Well Known Gun – Elton John
I pulled out my Stage Coach Times
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame
Now they’ve found me
At last [...]
Answer In The Sky – Elton John
Well they say that it’s a fact
If you watch the sky at night
And if you stare into the darkness
You might see celestial light
And if your heart is empty
And there’s no hope inside
There’s a chance you’ll find an answer in the sky
Well they say that it’s a shame
If you have [...]
Ball And Chain – Elton John
I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise
I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
And [...]
Bad Side Of The Moon – Elton John
It seems as though I’ve lived my life
On the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs in sickness still
Without the rustic spoon
Common people live with me
Where the light has never shone
And the hermits flock like hummingbirds
To speak in a foreign tongue
I’m a light world away
From the people [...]
Angeline – Elton John
Well I’m work shy, I’m wild-eyed
So shut that door when the baby cries
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread
Lay my body on a feather bed
And spoil me, Angeline
Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline
Maybe someday, some way
Somewhere in the future there’s more pay
Give me more cash, bring me sour [...]
And The House Fell Down – Elton John
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 [...]
Amy – Elton John
Tread on my face if you like little lady
Turn me inside out if you have to baby
But don’t you cross me off your list
I am young and I ain’t never been kissed
Never been kissed by a lady called Amy
You’re far out, you’re fab and insane
A woman of the world, it’s quite plain
My [...]
Amoreena – Elton John
Lately I’ve been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena’s in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child
And when it rains the rain falls down
Washing out the cattle town
And she’s far away somewhere in her eiderdown
And she [...]
American Triangle – Elton John
Seen him playing in his backyard
Young boy just starting out
So much history in this landscape
So much confusion, so much doubt
Been there drinking on that front porch
Angry kids, mean and dumb
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
God hates fags where we come from
‘Western skies’ don’t make it right
‘Home of the brave’ don’t [...]
Amazes Me – Elton John
You’re a cool little one
My dark southern breeze
Sweeps through my fingers
And it amazes me
Dixie shadowland
Your envy shelters me
Lay down your burden
Mystery of ebony
And it amazes me
Oh it amazes me
Maybe the heat babe could be this tune
It amazes me
It amazes me
What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon
Look up that [...]
