The Bernie Taupin Lyric Thread
It had to be done again.
"...and I don't want to be the son of any freak
who for a chocolate centre can take you off the street
for soon they'll plough the desert and God knows where I'll be
collecting submarine numbers on the main street of the sea."

I thought this was appropriate for here
Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right
I'm not going to let my history pull me down and hold me back, you see.
OMG..I'm swooning here...
My very favorite B man..thanks Squire.
I believe in love, it's all we got
Love has no boundaries, costs nothing to touch
War makes money, cancer sleeps
Curled up in my father and that means something to me
Churches and dictators, politics and papers
Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way!
I had to have Benny
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
I'm not going to let my history pull me down and hold me back, you see.
I do like "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
I'm not going to let my history pull me down and hold me back, you see.
More from "Yellow Brick Road"
"Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)"
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

A handful of grease in her hair
Toolin' down the highway doing 79,
I'm a twin-pipe papa and I'm feeling fine...

Club At The End of the Street by Mr. Bernie
From the alleyways
Where the catwalks gently sway
You hear the sound of Otis
And the voice of Marvin Gaye
In this smoky room
There's a jukebox plays all night
And we can dance real close
Beneath the pulse of a neon light
There's a downtown smell of cooking
From the flame on an open grill
There's a sax and a big bass pumping
Lord have mercy
You can't sit still
You can't sit still
Where the catwalks gently sway
You hear the sound of Otis
And the voice of Marvin Gaye
In this smoky room
There's a jukebox plays all night
And we can dance real close
Beneath the pulse of a neon light
There's a downtown smell of cooking
From the flame on an open grill
There's a sax and a big bass pumping
Lord have mercy
You can't sit still
You can't sit still
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way!

The Ballad of Danny Bailey
"so mark his grave well
'cause Kentucky loved him
born and raised proper
I guess life just bugged him."

Desperation Train
Thereabouts I came across another empty hand
Another tin cup shaken by some raggedy old man
Acting blind and keeping time with his thin white cane
He said that Jesus Christ and Judas rode the Desperation Train

...from "This Song Has No Title"...
"...and each day I learn just a little bit more.
I don't know why, but I do know what for.
If we're all going somewhere, let's get there soon.
Oh, this song's got no title, just words and a tune."
The irony, of course, is that it does have a title.

Bennie and the Jets...
I just posted this on the song association thread. One of my favorites!
Bennie And The Jets
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
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

I just had to post this even though it's on the lyrics one
A Little Peace
Elton John & Bernie Taupin
Our summer of love has come and gone
Us sixties kids are getting on
We had a dream way back then
No reason why we can't dream again
