I can't light
no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me I can't find Oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don't discard me Just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have oh they need love to help them heal don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free but losing everything is like the sun going down on me |

Blue eyes
Baby's got blue eyes Like a deep blue sea On a blue blue day Blue eyes Baby's got blue eyes When the morning comes I'll be far away And I say Blue eyes holding back the tears Holding back the pain Baby's got blue eyes And shes's alone again Blue eyes Baby's got blue eyes Like a clear blue sky Watching over me Blue eyes Ooh I love blue eyes When I'm by her side Where I long to be I will see Blue eyes laughing in the sun Laughing in the rain Baby's got blue eyes And I am home again Blue eyes laughing in the sun Laughing in the rain Baby's got blue eyes And I am home again |

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Loneliness was tough The toughest role you ever played Hollywood created a superstar And pain was the price you paid Even when you died Oh the press still hounded you All the papers had to say Was that Marilyn was found in the nude Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe |

Every time you turn around
You wear another face Every time I look away I find a hiding place If you knew me like you knew him You would know just how I feel Slipping through someone′s fingers Falling under someone′s wheels It′s easier to walk away Better off to face the facts When love holds you up for ransom Walk away and don′t look back Never seen you looking back through Smiling eyes and tears Never knew you holding on to Memories and fears Just release me I can′t take it Can′t you see a change has come Strangled by infatuation Buried under someone′s thumb It′s easier to walk away Cover and fade to black When love scars and leaves you branded Walk away and don′t look back Every time you turn around You wear another face Every time I look away I find a hiding place |

Elton John - Goodbye yellow brick road
When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened my oid 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 back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then I bet that'll shoot down your plane It'll take you a couple 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 whe 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 back toad Oh I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road |

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home I′ll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita I need you so Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita you′ll never know Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you′re free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend |

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m. And I′m gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It′s lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it′s gonna be a long long time Till touch down brings me round again to find I′m not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I′m a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone Mars ain′t the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it′s cold as hell And there′s no one there to raise them if you did And all this science I don′t understand It′s just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man And I think it′s gonna be a long long time... |

Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots Is the hardest part when memories remain And it′s times like these when we all need to hear the radio `Cause from the lips of some old singer We can share the troubles we already know Turn them on, turn them on Turn on those sad songs When all hope is gone Why don′t you tune in and turn them on They reach into your room Just feel their gentle touch When all hope is gone Sad songs say so much If someone else is suffering enough to write it down When every single word makes sense Then it′s easier to have those songs around The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you and it feels so good to hurt so bad And suffer just enough to sing the blues Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say Sad songs, they say so much |

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 |

좀 이상해요 This feeling inside (지금) 내 맘 속 심정 말이에요 I'm not one of those who can easily hide 난, 다른 사람처럼 감정을 쉽게 숨기지 못해요 I don't have much money 또 난 돈도 많지 않아요 but (boy) if I did 하지만 아, 만약 돈만 있다면 I'd buy a big house where we both could live 난 큰 집을 살거에요, 우리둘이 살 수 있는 큰집을 If I was a sculptor, but then again, no 내가 조각가라면 어떨까요? 아냐, 그건 안되겠죠. Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show 아니면 거리 악단에서 약을 파는 약장사는 어떨까요? I know it's not much but it's the best I can do 이 노래가 별건 아닐꺼에요 하지만 내가 할수 있는최선의것은... My gift is my song and this one's for you 내가 줄 수 있는 선물은 내 노래에요 그리고 이노랜 당신에게 바치는거에요 And you can tell everybody this is your song 다른 사람들에게 말하세요... 이 노래는 당신만을 위한 노래라고 It may be quite simple but now that it's done 그다지 거창하진 않을꺼에요. 하지만 전 이노래를 만들어 냈다구요 I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind 괜찮으시다면, 당신이 맘에 들었으면 해요..그랬으면해요. That I put down in words 내가 만든 이 사랑의 노래를 How wonderful life is while you're in the world 산다는게 이렇게 좋은건지 당신이 있음으로 알게 됐죠 I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss 지붕 위에 앉아 이끼를 걷어차도 봅니다. Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross 음, 몇몇 구절들이 얼마나 골칠 썩였는지 But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song 하지만 햇빛이 너무나 따뜻해서 이 노래를 만드는데, 괜찮더라구요 It's for people like you that keep it turned on 이 노래는 당신같은 사람들을 위한거에요, 당신같이 세상을 밝게 만드는 사람들이요 So excuse me forgetting but these things I do 그러니, 지금부터 제가 말하는걸 용서해줘야 해요 아시죠? 나는벌써잊었어요 그것이초록색인지파란색인지...어쨋든내가정말 말하고싶은건 당신눈은이제까지 내가 본 중 가장아름답다는거에요. 모두에게이야기하세요.이노래가..당신을위한당신만의노래라는걸 간단할지모르지만..이제완성이되었어요 맘에들었으면해요..그랬으면해요. 내가만든이노래... 당신이있어이세상이..삶이얼마나아름다운지.. |

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside I'm not one of those, who can easily hide, I don't have much money, but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live. If I was a sculptor, but then again no, Or a men who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this ons's for you. And you can tell everybody, this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done, I hope you don't mind. I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world. I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song, It's for people like you, that keep it turned on. So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen. |

If it came to pass that they should ask What could I tell them Would they criticize behind my back Maybe I should let them Oh if only then and only then They would understand They'd turn a full-blooded city boy Into a full-blooded city man If they could face it I could take it in their eyes Oh I know I'd make it Their tiny minds And sacred cows just fake it Oh If only then and only then They would understand They'd turn a full-blooded city boy Into a full-blooded city man But I know the way they want me In the way they publicize If they could turn their focus off To the image in their eyes Maybe it would help them, help them understand Maybe it would help them, help them understand Maybe it would help them, help them understand That a full-blooded city boy Is now a full-blooded city man Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Oh my soul |

Boston at last, and the plane's touching down
Our hostess is handing the hot towels around From a terminal gate to a black limousine It's a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn Boredom's a pastime that one soon acquired Where you get to the stage, where you're not even tired Kicking your heels till the time comes around To pick up your bags and head out of town Slow down, Joe, I'm a rock-and-roll man I've twiddled my thumbs in a dozen odd bands And you ain't seen nothing till you've been In a motel, baby, like the Holiday Inn |

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine And now you ask that I should watch The red man's race be slowly crushed What kind of words are these to hear From Yellow Dog whom white man fears I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead Now there seems no reason why I should carry on In this land that once was my land I can't find a home It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole |

There's nothing there at all You just seem older than yesterday And you're waiting for tomorrow to call You draw to the curtain and one thing's for certain You're cozy in your little room The carpet's all paid for, God bless the TV Let's go shoot a hole in the moon And Roy Rogers is riding tonight Returning to our silver screens Comic book characters never grow old Evergreen heroes whose stories were told Oh the great sequin cowboy who sings of the plains Of roundups and rustlers and home on the range Turn on the T.V., shut out the lights Roy Rogers is riding tonight Nine o'clock mornings, five o'clock evenings I'd liven the pace if I could Oh I'd rather have a ham in my sandwich than cheese But complaining wouldn't do any good Lay back in my armchair, close eyes and think clear I can hear hoofbeats ahead Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop While the wife and the kids are in bed |

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 Don't give us none of your aggravation We had it with your discipline Saturday night's alright for fighting Get a little action in Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight `Cause Saturday night's the night I like Saturday night's alright alright alright Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right I may use a little muscle to get what I need I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!" A couple of the sound that I really like Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike I'm a juvenile product of the working class Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass |

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 |

My bulldog is barking in the backyard
Enough to raise a dead man from his grave And I can't concentrate on what I'm doing Disturbance going to crucify my days And the days they get longer and longer And the nighttime is a time of little use For I just get ugly and older I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning I get bombed for dinner time and tea I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time I'm a genuine example of a social disease My landlady lives in a caravan Well that is when she isn't in my arms And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness But my liquor also helps to grease her palms And the ladies are all getting wrinkles And they're falling apart at the seams Well I just get high on tequila And see visions of vineyards in my dreams |

I'm back on dry land once again
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain We're all hunting honey with money to burn Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned If the boys all behave themselves here Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright So she lays down beside me again My sweet painted lady, the one with no name Many have used her and many still do There's a place in the world for a woman like you Oh sweet painted lady Seems it's always been the same Getting paid for being laid Guess that's the name of the game Forget us we'll have gone very soon Just forget we ever slept in your rooms And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds Where love's just a job and nothing is said So she lays down beside me again My sweet painted lady, the one with no name Many have used her and many still do There's a place in the world for a woman like you Oh sweet painted lady Seems it's always been the same Getting paid for being laid Guess that's the name of the game |

Some punk with a shotgun
Killed young Danny Bailey In cold blood, in the lobby Of a downtown motel. Killed him in anger, A force he couldn't handle, Helped pull the trigger That cut short his life. And there's not many knew him The way that we did, Sure enough he was a wild one But then aren't most hungry kids? Now it's all over Danny Bailey, And the harvest is in. Dillinger's dead I guess the cops won again Now it's all over Danny Bailey, And the harvest is in. We're running short of heroes Back up here in the hills, Without Danny Bailey We're gonna have to break up our stills. So mark his grave well 'Cause Kentucky loved him. Born and raised proper I guess life just bugged him. And he found faith in danger, A life style he lived by, A runnin' gun youngster In a sad restless age. |

Tune me in to the wild side of life
I'm an innocent young child sharp as a knife Take me to the garretts where the artists have died Show me the courtrooms where the judges have lied Let me drink deeply from the water and the wine Light colored candles in dark dreary mines Look in the mirror and stare at myself And wonder if that's really me on the shelf 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 Take me down alleys where the murders are done In a vast high powered rocket to the core of the sun Want to read books in the studies of men Born on the breeze and die on the wind If I was an artist who paints with his eyes I'd study my subject and silently cry Cry for the darkness to come down on me For confusion to carry on turning the wheel 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 |

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 |
