I didn't mean to hurt you
You know it's just my way Those things that I said yesterday Were things I shouldn't say Although you're blue Just one thing I want you to do Just forget all those things That I said about you Cause I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And if you go away I just won't know what to do Yes I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And you know in your heart That I'll always worship you I couldn't bear to see you go Oh no no no no So don't you feel sad It's not the thing to do Because I worry If I know you're feeling blue Please put your tears away So nobody can see Cause the last thing I want Is for you to cry over me |

When the shrill winds are screaming
And the evening is still Lady Samantha glides over the hill In a long satin dress that she wears every day Her home is the hillside, her bed is the grave Lady Samantha glides like a tiger Over the hills with no one beside her No one comes near They all live in fear But Lady Samantha, she sheds only tears The tales that I told round the fire every night Are out of proportion and none of them right She is harmless and empty of anything bad For she once had something that most of you have |

The sister of sunlight
Comes to my lonely life Bearing the crosses I hung I hung on my lonely wife And the anchor told me If I prayed by the river That the sweet sound of water Would always go with her All across the havens to the waterfall They told me I would meet her there Inside those icy walls But how on earth in this universe Can they forgive me of my pains For all across the havens I must stumble locked in chains Then the mother of mercy Showed me her stable And told me you would be safe Safe in her cradle And the waterfall opened And the water withdrew Leaving me standing On a road leading through |

Hey there
Look in the mirror Are you afraid you might see me looking at you Waiting, waiting at windows Oh it's me that you need Yes it's me and I'm waiting for you But I remain silent Oh I won't say a word I leave you to realize I'm the light in your world And it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you're needing It's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you need Yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me If you want to be living I'm the one who's forgiving Admit that it's me that you need Watching, watching the swallows fly It all means the same Just like them You can fly home again But don't, no don't forget yesterday Pride is an ugly word girl And you still know my name |

I looked up from my glass into the sky
There's no one in my comic book to buy Calendar swung on the wall held by a rusty nail Down came the strange rain and washed my thoughts away So stop in the sky and tell me why You're changing your colours before my eyes Yellow, blue, green and grey Settled on the window pane It made the rain that came seem strange Just like strange rain It made the rain that came seem strange Just like strange rain Still I sit beside the fire and watched as it fell Come in colours from above into my citadel My eyes are all embriodered with the rainbow you have made And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain |

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 who make me stay Sitting on the bad side of the moon There ain't no need for watchdogs here To justify our ways We live our life in manacles The main cause of our stay Exiled here from other worlds My sentence comes too soon Why should I be made to pay On the bad side of the moon |

If anyone should see me making it down the highway
Breaking all the laws of the land Well don't you try to stop me I'm going her way And that's the way I'm sure she had it planned Well that's my Rock-and-roll Madonna She's always been a lady of the road Well everybody wants her But no one ever gets her Well the freeway is the only way she knows Well if she would only slow down for a short time I'd get to know her just before she leaves But she's got some fascination for that two wheel combination And I swear it's going to be the death of me |

Why's it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born On the big screen they showed us a sun But not as bright in life as the real one It's never quite the same as the real one And tell me grey seal How does it feel To be so wise To see through eyes That only see what's real Tell me grey seal I never learned why meteors were formed I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn If anyone can cry then so can I I read books and draw life from the eye All my life is drawings from the eye Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men The roots were formed by twisted roots Your roots were twisted then I was re-born before all life could die The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I |

I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road Can you ever think of any better way For the lost and weary travellers to go CHORUS 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 It seems to me a crime that we should age These fragile times should never slip us by A time you never can or shall erase As friends together watch their childhood fly CHORUS 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 REPEAT CHORUS |

For our world, the circle turns again
Throughout the year, it seems the seasons change It's meant a lot to me to start a new Oh, the winters cold, but I'm so warm with you Out there there's not a sound to be heard And the seasons seem to sleep upon their words As the waters freeze up with the summer's end Ain't it funny how young lovers start as friends Yes, it's funny how young lovers start as friends |

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know Once a fool had a good part in the play If it's so would I still be here today It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way They think it's very funny everything I say Get a load of him, he's so insane You better get your coat dear It looks like rain We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know The ground's a long way down but I need more Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted Will they come again next week Can my mind really take it We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water |

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 |

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 |

Go jack-rabbit running through the wood
You had a good night and you feel real loose Heard they got you going round the goosecreek shed Trying to fill your belly full of buckshot lead Go jack-rabbit get the cabbage patch Farmer left the back porch door on the latch Heard you coming and he got his gun Better go jack-rabbit better start to run Go jack-rabbit running through the wood You had a good night and you feel real loose Gunfire breaking up the peaceful night Jack-rabbit lying in the cold daylight |

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 |

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin I may not seem your ideal when you look into my eyes I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes, I'm not the custom made size But baby let me take you out on the highway for a while I'll show yow where the man in me is when he doesn't hide Well he's cruising in the fast lane, stuck behind the wheel Jekyll and Hyde going on inside when I'm your automobile Let me be your car for a while child Shift me into gear and I'll be there Fill me up with five star gasoline girl I'll be your car, I'll take you anywhere Let me be your car, come on and drive me I'm a speedy little boy down deep inside I got bucket seats and two speed window cleaners Just let me be your car, oh come on and ride I can't dance, I don't dig it, I can't see it at all You say I'm just a specimen, and baby I can crawl Well my physique don't look the way the physiques really should But then again I've got an engine underneath my hood When I'm cutting up the road with a sports car on my tail Frankenstein's inside my mind, and the wind's inside my sails |

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 |

Ooh she said the crowd just loved you
My name's Angel and I'm sixteen I really love your band and your funny accent Sure would like a cruise in your limousine Then she said how about a rubdown You're so cute, I'm so mean The way you hold your guitar really gets me I can show you tricks that you ain't never seen Sick City, nobody to love you Oh but sometimes I can taste you when I'm feeling weak Sick City, isn't it a pity That you can't float above it when the bottom leaks Oh, Sick City Hey man how's about a handout All you dudes just loaded down Just a little sugar man makes me sweeter I like to sit at home and watch the world go round Stage-door monkey's on my back Begging me to save his life Can't he understand we're not a healing show We're just here to play some music for the kids tonight |

Your life stepped lightly out our hands
When no one's looking out you understand Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Oh your black icy snare once cut down my friend In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end Every new version of the way of life Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night But whose kid are you when they finally decide The lifestyle you led and the way that you died But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell The difference for you between heaven and hell To glorify something, your legends are found But all they bought you was a hole in the ground Years rolling by just like a dream I'm partly human and I'm partly machine They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone |

I hear that some playboy has kidnapped your heart
With his plane and his plans for games after dark Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room Where the second hand sheets smell of stale perfume If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet It could be all right that I act like a child But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high What will you do when the chips start to fly When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard? Oh, it's four walls of madness in this house of cards Common you call me, but I know there's time In a handful of diamonds, a heart's hard to find And your house of cards starts weighing you down Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound |

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Oh Jessie I'd like to be One of those men upon the screen With an elegant lady and a cafe in Paris Serving Pernot and Kalua with cream You can see it I know All the doors have been closed in my face And the drinks at the Casbah Run a mile or more from this place And oh Jessie won't you look at the planes Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they That there's a capital G in the name of the game And the runway's a home for my silver-red plane And won't you look at the planes Riding down the skyway Jessie ain't those wings just fine Don't it make you want to fly someday Why friend am I so still Tied to my job with time to kill Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote Tilting giants on imaginary hills |

Written by Kiki Dee
You're a stranger to me Then you give me your life I toss it to one side Still you're sweeter to me When we lie on the shore It's warm where you are But my lips just don't burn I feel so insecure When you try to be kind Could I ask for more Looking at you now I know you only want to find me Still I need a reason to leave the past behind me Behind me There ain't no easy way To learn how to fly I hope that I can kill When I turn around you're there Should I ask for more I feel like sugar on the floor I feel like sugar on the floor |
