Empty Sky lyrics - Elton John

I'm not a rat to be spat on, locked up in this room

Those bars that look towards the sun

At night look towards the moon

Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love

Make me wish that I had wings, take me high above

And I looked high, saw the empty sky

If I could only, I could only fly

I'd drift with them in endless space

But no man flies from this place

At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars

The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems, oh, so far

If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above

I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love

And I looked high, saw the empty sky

If I could only, I could only fly

I'd drift with them in endless space

But no man flies from this place, fly!

And I looked high, saw the empty sky

If I could only, I could only fly

I'd drift with them in endless space

But no man flies from this place, yeah

Hey, the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck

Some luck I ever got with you and I wouldn't like to bet

That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land

By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man, yeah

And I looked high and saw the empty sky

If I could only, I could only fly

I'd drift with them in endless space

But no man flies from this place

Fly on

Just send up my love, ain't seen nothing but tears

Now I've got myself in this room for years

I don't see no one, I never see anyone

Anyone, ah yeah

Oh

Woo-hoo-hoo

Woo-hoo-hoo

Oh-ho-ho

Woo, yeah

I said get down with it, babe

I want you to shh

Right down now, right down now

Ah

Oh... get on now

Get on up now

Val-hala lyrics - Elton John

The seadogs have all sailed their ships

Into the docks of dawn

While the sirens sit and comb their hair

And twiddle with their thumbs

Oh Thor above the mountain

Look down upon your children

This is their heaven where they're told

To bring their galleons

Seek you find your place with me

Men of iron, men of steel

Only the brave hear the hammers ring

In the courts of the Queens, in the halls of the Kings

You can come to Val-hala in your own time

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala

Come to Val-hala in your own time

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala

There's long boats in the harbor

Which arrive there every hour

With the souls of the heroes

Whose blood lies on the flowers

And this heaven is the home

Of every man who loves his sword

And he uses it for freedom

To preach the word of Thor

Seek you find your place with me

Men of iron, men of steel

Only the brave hear the hammers ring

In the courts of the Queens, in the halls of the Kings

You can come to Val-hala in your own time

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala

Come to Val-hala in your own time

Come to Val-hala seek and you will find Val-hala

Val-hala

Val-hala

Val-hala

Western Ford Gateway lyrics - Elton John

It's hard to feel what's in your head

Where the gas lamps grow

And the garbage blows

Around the paper stands

And a baby cried

And I saw a light

And I wondered where

And I wondered why

There'd be a loss of life

Down here tonight

Down on Western Ford Gateway

That's a place where the dead say

That a man lives no more

Than his fair share of days

Down on Western Ford Gateway

Down on Western Ford Gateway

That's a place where the dead say

That a man lives no more

Than his fair share of days

Down on Western Ford Gateway

It flowed upon the cobbled floor

For the bottle's dead

And they're drunk again

By the tavern door

And a baby cried

And I saw a light

And I wondered where

And I wondered why

There'd be a loss of life

Down here tonight

Down on Western Ford Gateway

That's a place where the dead say

That a man lives no more

Than his fair share of days

Down on Western Ford Gateway

Down on Western Ford Gateway

That's a place where the dead say

That a man lives no more

Than his fair share of days

Down on Western Ford Gateway

Hymn 2000 lyrics - Elton John

She chose the soft center

And took it to bed with her mother

And the ideal confusion

Was just an illusion

To gain further news of her brother

And the comfort of mother

Was just an appeal for protection

For the cat from next door

Was found later at four

In surgical dissection

And I don't want to be

The son of any freak

Who for a chocolate center

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

And I don't want to be

The son of any freak

Who for a chocolate center

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

The Vicar is thicker

And I just can't see through to him

For his cardinal sings

A collection of hymns

And a collection of coins is made after

And who wrote the Bible

Was it Judas or Pilate

Well one cleans his hands

While the other one hangs

But still I continue to stand

And I don't want to be

The son of any freak

Who for a chocolate center

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

And I don't want to be

The son of any freak

Who for a chocolate center

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

Lady What's Tomorrow lyrics - Elton John

Look up little brother

Can you see the clover

No not over there

A little bit left and over there

Now look and see the lilac tree

The lily pond, the skylark's song

The open air but no one cares

If branches live and die out there

Remember when you were nine

And I was ten

We would run into the wood

No we never will again

And Lady, what's tomorrow

What's tomorrow anyway

If it's not the same as now

It's the same as yesterday

Yes Lady, what's tomorrow

Will it be the same as now

Will the farmer push the pen

Will the writer pull the plough

Look up little brother

Can you see the clover

Oh sorry but it's over

Now there's concrete and no clover

Remember when you were nine

And I was ten

We would run into the wood

No we never will, we never will again

And Lady, what's tomorrow

What's tomorrow anyway

If it's not the same as now

It's the same as yesterday

Yes Lady, what's tomorrow

Will it be the same as now

Will the farmer push the pen

Will the writer pull the plough

Oh Lady, what's tomorrow

Sails lyrics - Elton John

I viewed in my presence

My hand on my forehead

And sighting the liners

Of mad merchant seamen

In search of the living

Or the spices of China

Lucy walked gently

Between the damp barrels

And shut out my eyes

With the width of her fingers

Said she'd guessed the number

Of bales in the back room

While the seagulls were screaming

Lucy was eating

Then we hauled up our colours

The way the mother had told us

And together we just watched the sails

While the seagulls were screaming

Lucy was eating

Then we hauled up our colours

The way the mother had told us

And together we just watched the sails

Lucy I said

In a passage of cotton kegs

Can we hold hands

I'm sure that it's warmer

Then the gulls ate the crumbs

Of Lucy's sandwich

While the seagulls were screaming

Lucy was eating

Then we hauled up our colours

The way the mother had told us

And together we just watched the sails

The Scaffold lyrics - Elton John

In Orient where wise I was

To please the way I live

Come give the beggar chance at hand

His life is on his lip

Three score a thousand times

Where once in Amazon

Where Eldorado holds the key

No keeper holds my hand

Unchain the gate of solitude

The ruler says you run

Run hard unto the scaffold high

Your chance to jump the gun

Oh how high the scaffold grows

The plant life of your widow

In black lace curtains brought you near

From out the plate glass window

Oh how high the scaffold grows

The plant life of your widow

In black lace curtains brought you near

From out the plate glass window

The Minotaur with bloody hands

Is enraged by the sun

Caged he by the corpses

Brought forth by the dawn

In Orient is as I told

The buckshee hangman swears

For open crypts to silence

Nylon knots to sway by prayer

Unchain the gate of solitude

The ruler says you run

Run hard unto the scaffold high

Your chance to jump the gun

Oh how high the scaffold grows

The plant life of your widow

In black lace curtains brought you near

From out the plate glass window

Oh how high the scaffold grows

The plant life of your widow

In black lace curtains brought you near

From out the plate glass window

In Orient where wise I was

To please the way I live

Come give the beggar chance at hand

His life is on his lip

Skyline Pigeon lyrics - Elton John

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

Fly away again

Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly

Towards the dreams you've left so very far behind

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 wanna 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

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 things you've left so very far behind

Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly

Towards the things you've left so very, so very far behind

Gulliver lyrics - Elton John

Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master

His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter

And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim

But the light in his eyes will see no more so bright

As the sheep that he locked in the pen

There's four feet of ground in front of the barn

That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm

But now it lies empty so cold and so bare

Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there

By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember

And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger

For sentiment touched him as cyclamen holds him

And later men came from the town

Who said clear the child this won't take a while

And Gulliver's gone with the dawn

Lady Samantha lyrics - Elton John

When the shrill winds are screaming

And the evening is still

Lady Samantha glides over the hills

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

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

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

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

She sheds only tears

She sheds only tears

All Across The Havens lyrics - Elton John

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

All across the havens

To the waterfall

They told me that 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

It's Me That You Need lyrics - Elton John

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 realise 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

But I remain silent

Oh, I won't say a word

I leave you to realise 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

Just Like Strange Rain lyrics - Elton John

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

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 embroidered with the rainbow you have made

And now it seems as though it's just, just like strange rain

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

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

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

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

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

Just like strange rain

(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again lyrics - Elton John & Taron Egerton

(from "Rocketman" soundtrack)

[Elton John:]

Oh, the joke was never hard to tell

Threw my spare change in the wishing well

The dream alone is always in your hands

If that don't fill the boy and build the man

A heart has many secrets, so I'm told

Through the years, a theory can grow cold

I'm up to be the king, it's gotten clear

The voice inside my head is the one I hear

[Elton John & Taron Egerton:]

Singing, I'm gonna love me again

Check in on my very best friend

Find the wind to fill my sails

Rise above the broken rails

Unbound by any ties that break or bend

I'm free, and don't you know?

No clown to claim he used to know me then

I'm free, and don't you know?

And oh-oh-oh, I'm gonna love me again

Hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

[Taron Egerton:]

The golden age was somehow bittersweet

But now the past lies sleepin' in the deep

The peaceful days that followed hollow nights

A kiss or touch could feel like Kryptonite

Praise the Saints that hung up on my wall

For trust is left in lovers after all

A whispered word emergin' from a tale

My wake-up call to claim the cursed spell

[Elton John & Taron Egerton:]

Well, I'm gonna love me again (Love me again)

Check in on my very best friend

Find the wind to fill my sails

Rise above the broken rails

Unbound by any ties that break or bend

I'm free, and don't you know?

No clown to claim he used to know me then

I'm free, and don't you know?

And oh-oh-oh, I'm gonna love me again

Sing, I'm gonna love me again

Check in on my very best friend

Find the wind to fill my sails

Rise above the broken rails

Unbound by any ties that break or bend

I'm free, and don't you know?

No clown to claim he used to know me then

I'm free, don't you know?

And oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, I'm gonna love me again

I'm gonna love me again

I'm gonna love me again

100% Endurance (Elton John Version) lyrics - Yard Act & Elton John

I was woken by a bang

And I could already taste the shame

The sudden fear that grips and shakes you

When you face the truth

Whose sofa was this?

Where were my shoes?

What did we do last night?

I don't remember leaving Nathan's house

Ah yeah, how could I forget

Why my pants were soaking wet?

When we'd been pissing ourselves

Laughing at the news

Did you see it too?

It was incredible

They played it on a loop

Basically, they'd discovered

That there were others just like us

Other beings and other creatures

And other planets and other species

Who had other gods that they believed in

And they interviewed all of them

Everyone of them, it's true

None of them had a single clue

What they were doing here either

It's all so pointless, it is

I find it humbling, sincerely

And when you're gone

It brings me peace of mind to know

That this'll all just carry on

With someone else (someone else)

With something new (something new)

There's no need to be blue

Everything has already happened, time is an illusion

It's hippy bullshit but it's true

Come with us

Now we're off to meet them

So best impress them

Don't want them thinking we've been sat here

Doing nothing, now do we, Elton? It's alright

I've had more hits than I've had hot dinners

Is that how we define this life's winners?

The numerics so imperative

That without them we'll forget how to simply be

It's hippy bullshit, but it's true

Watch me explode

It's all so pointless, ah

But it's not though, is it?

It's really real and when you feel it

You can really feel it

Grab somebody that you love

Grab anyone who needs to hear it

And shake 'em by the shoulders

Scream in their face

Death is coming for us all, but not today

Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it

Give it everything you've got knowing that you can't take this with you

And all you've ever needed to exist has always been within you

Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit

Cut it with a hundred percent endurance

It's all so pointless, it sure is

And when you're gone

It makes me stronger knowing

That all of this will carry on

With someone else (someone else)

With something new (something new)

It's not like there's gonna be nothing, is it?

2 Fingers Of Whiskey lyrics - Elton John & Jack White

I cheated just to get on by

Yea, I cheated just to get on by

If I can't save my sinnin' whys

Gonna keep on getting high

I'm sleeping off the weekend drunk

Sleeping off the weekend drunk

When I'm awake I'm looking back

On all the ships I've sunk

Two fingers of whiskey

Good ol' fashioned rye

Wish I was bound for glory

And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drowning the devil

Living in me

Living in me

I'm hanging on the hook of the moon

Hanging on that treble moon

If I don't get out of this battle

Lord, you're gonna see me soon

Just like a dog, I wanna howl

Like an old dog, I wanna howl (woo)

Used up all of my aces

Who is gonna save me now?

Two fingers of whiskey

Good ol' fashioned rye

Wish I was bound for glory

And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drowning the devil

Living in me

Living in me

Two fingers of whiskey

Good ol' fashioned rye

Wish I was bound for glory

And prohibition dry

Two fingers of whiskey

That is all I need

To keep drowning the devil

Living in me

Living in me

Bennie And The Jets (2018 Version) lyrics - Elton John, Pink & Logic

[Elton John:]

She's got electric boots

A mohair suit

You know I read it in a magazine

B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

B-B-B-Bennie, B-B-B-Bennie

[P!nk:]

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

B-B-B-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

B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

[Logic:]

Yeah

Let me get it now, momma, I made it

True story, I have upgraded

Everybody back then used to hate it

Now they all appreciate it

I might sound out of my mind

Matter of fact, out of line

But I been runnin' and gunnin'

Been fightin' for something in due time

I'm finna take it to the line

I'm in the beginning of the prime

Tony Montana–the world's mine

Yeah, it's finally 'bout time

Went from Section 8 to better times

Serving food to writin' rhymes

For Elton John, the greatest of all time!

[P!nk:]

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

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?

Oh, but they're so spaced out

B-B-B-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

B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

[P!nk & (Logic):]

Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets (yeah, yeah)

B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

Oh, Bennie and the Jets

Billy And The Kids lyrics - Elton John

Nothing looks as bad

After staying up all night

And the cruel words that cut you down

I never meant to write

And what came out as anger

Oh was a lack of self control

Billy won't you hold me

Once before you go

Clever lies keep coming

Some men never change

I'm a hand that's raised in anger

The blow that causes pain

But I just can't be trusted

With a bottle and a child

Billy it's no wonder

You say I've never tried

Oh so leave me now

Oh don't turn around

It's the best thing you ever did

But it's hard for me to say goodbye

To Billy and the kids

Oh so leave me now

Oh don't turn around

It's the best thing you ever did

But it's hard for me to say goodbye

To Billy and the kids

And what came out as anger

Oh was a lack of self control

Billy won't you hold me

Once before you go

Oh so leave me now

Oh don't turn around

It's the best thing you ever did

But it's hard for me to say goodbye

To Billy and the kids

Oh so leave me now

Oh don't turn around

It's the best thing you ever did

But it's hard for me to say goodbye

To Billy and the kids

To Billy and the kids

To Billy and the kids

To Billy and the kids

To Billy and the kids

(But it's hard for me to say goodbye to)

To Billy and the kids

Calling It Christmas lyrics - Elton John & Joss Stone

On a hill long ago, on a cold winter's night

In a land far away, three kings saw a light

And from Heaven, it shone like God's, God's own crown

And it guided three kings into Bethlehem town

Oh, they came bearing gifts and so said each one

"Let's call this day Christmas from this moment on"

"We'll be calling it Christmas in, in honor of Him"

"The Child in the manger, our Savior and King", oh

We've been calling it Christmas

Keeping the faith

Knowing the reason we

We're saving the day, we've been calling it

We've been calling it Christmas (Oh)

Down through the years (Down through the years, baby)

Spreading joy to the world when Christmas

Is here, is here

Oh, a simple belief was the start of it all

A small child asleep on a bed made of straw

At the back of an inn where, where shepherds and kings

First felt the joy that this moment would bring, we've been calling it

We've been calling it Christmas

Keeping the faith

Knowing the reason

We're saving the day, we've been calling it

We've been calling it Christmas

Down through the years (Down through the years, baby)

Spreading joy to the world when Christmas, when Christmas

Is here, is here

We've been calling it Christmas (Oh, baby)

Down through the years (Down through, down through the years)

Spreading joy to the world when Christmas

Is here (Ooh, yeah)

Spreading joy to the world when Christmas

Is here, Christmas is here, oh, yeah

Spreading joy to the world when Christmas

Ooh, is here, is here, hmm

Candle In The Wind 1997 lyrics - Elton John

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country

And you whispered to those in pain

Now you belong to heaven

And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost

These empty days without your smile

This torch, we'll always carry

For our nation's golden child

And even though we try

The truth brings us to tears

All our words cannot express

The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

Goodbye England's rose

From a country lost without your soul

Who'll miss the wings of your compassion

More than you will ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Cartier lyrics - Elton John

If your life is dull and dreary

And you're feeling rather weary

Of the mundane things that clutter up one's life

Drive your roller up to Bond Street

Where royalty and Sheiks meet

Make your day

Here's the thing to do

Spend a grand or two at Cartier

Circle Of Life lyrics - Elton John

(from "The Lion King" soundtrack)

From the day we arrive on the planet

And blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

Some say, "Eat or be eaten."

Some say, "Live and let live."

But all are agreed

As they join the stampede

You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside

And some of us soar to the stars

And some of us sail through our troubles

And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

In the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding, yeah

In the circle, the circle of life

It's the wheel of fortune, yeah

It's the leap of faith

It's the band of hope

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding, yeah

In the circle, the circle of life

On the path unwinding, yeah

In the circle, the circle of life

Cold Heart (PS1 Remix) lyrics - Elton John & Dua Lipa

[Elton John:]

It's a human sign

When things go wrong

When the scent of her lingers

And temptation's strong

Cold, cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things lookin' better, baby

Just passin' through

[Dua Lipa:]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no

And this is what I should have ever said

Well, I thought it, but I kept it in

[Elton John:]

Cold, cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things lookin' better, baby

Just passin' through

[Dua Lipa:]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no (No, no, no, no, no)

And this is what I should have ever said

Well, I thought it, but I kept it in

[Elton John:]

Cold, cold heart (Oh)

Hard done by you

Some things lookin' better, baby (Oh)

Just passin' through (No, no, no, no, no)

[Dua Lipa:]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no (No, no, no, no, no)

And this is what I should have ever said (And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)

('Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find)

Well, I thought it, but I kept it in (I'm not the man they think I am at home)

(Oh, no, no, no)

(No, no, no, no, no)

Cold Heart (The Blessed Madonna Remix) lyrics - Elton John & Dua Lipa

[Elton John:]

Cold, cold heart

And this is what I should have ever said

Though, I thought it, but I kept it in

Cold, cold heart

Cold, cold heart

[Dua Lipa:]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no

And this is what I should have ever said

Well, I thought it, but I kept it in

[Elton John:]

Cold, cold heart

[Dua Lipa:]

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no, no, no

Did Anybody Sleep With Joan Of Arc? lyrics - Elton John

At seventeen, she became the queen of Orleans

A peasant child guided by a vivid dream

She was cool before they knew what cool became

She cut her hair and cross-dressed in a dangerous age

She set a trend, a natural look was all the rage

Imagine if they'd had merchandise and poster sales

This bride of God, bigger than Elvis in her day

She had it all until they burned it all away

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

She was small and more or less of common breed

But saint aside, no stranger to a woman's needs

No handsome knights, no random acts of chivalry

Her bed remained a simple place for her to sleep

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

Did anybody sleep with Joan of Arc?

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

Did anybody sleep with Joan of Arc?

Easier To Walk Away lyrics - Elton John

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

Going Home (Piano Demo) lyrics - Elton John

It's a long long journey

When you're on your own

It's a long long way to travel

When you're all alone

So be careful and you'll find

That you're sure to make good time

'Cause your home

Is the best place you can go

I'm going home, going home

I'm going home, I'm going home

I'm feeling tired, sad and all alone

I'm going home, going home

Don't you try and stop me

I made up my mind

I have been to many places

Where they treated me unkind

So be careful and you'll find

That you're sure to make good time

'Cause your home

Is the best place that I know

I'm going home, going home

I'm going home, I'm going home

I'm feeling tired, sad and all alone

I'm going home, going home

It's a long late evening

And not far to go

You have traveled many miles

But it's nice to know

You're careful, you'll find

That you always make good time

Good time

To the best place you can go

I'm going home, going home

I'm going home, I'm going home

I'm feeling tired, sad and all alone

I'm going home, going home

I'm going home, going home

I'm going home, I'm going home

I'm feeling tired, sad and all alone

I'm going home, going home

Hello, Hello lyrics - Elton John

(from "Gnomeo & Juliet" soundtrack)

Feet are feeling light

Head on out to see the sights

Ain't life a many splendored thing?

Ducking up and down

All these crazy sights and sounds

Bounce around like puppets on a string

Never gonna find, anything to change my mind

Famous last lines of a fool

Just when you think

You're a chain with just one link

Something comes to tip you off your stool

Hello hello

Hello hello

My my my, what have we here?

What a surprise

What a surprise!

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

I'm not alone it's good to know

Someone's out there dropped say hello

Hello!

Do a dizzy dance

Twirl around and take a chance

Nothing's easy

Nothing comes for free

Sniffing on a flower

Run through an autumn shower

Bumping into someone else like me

Hello hello

Hello hello

My my my, what have we here?

What a surprise

What a surprise!

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

I'm not alone it's good to know

Someone's out there to say hello

Hello!

And I could fly on the back of a bird

I could shake all the leaves from a tree

If there's a quest I'm a knight

Where's there's wrong I'll do right

Two is better than the one I used to be

Hello hello

Hello hello

My my my, what have we here?

What a surprise

What a surprise!

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

I'm not alone it's good to know

Someone's out there to say hello

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

I'm not alone it's good to know

Someone's out there to say hello

Hello hello

Hello hello

Here's To The Next Time lyrics - Elton John

Like I said baby

If you go astray

Well then go on

Go your own sweet way

I thought you knew by now

You do just what you please

And here's to the next time

Here's to the next time

How many times

Have you gone before

And how many times

Have I forgiven you once more

Never had to wait

Like I waited for you

And here's to the next time

Here's to the next time

When you're gone

The time drags by

I wish you'd learn

Not to make me cry

To make me cry

So if you're gonna leave me

Never to come back

Break it to me gently

Or my world will crack

So be sure to let me know

That I'll never say

Here's to the next time

Here's to the next time

Here's to the next time

Ho! Ho! Ho! (Who'd Be A Turkey At Christmas) lyrics - Elton John

Sitting here on Christmas Eve with a brandy in my hand

Oh I've had a few too many and it's getting hard to stand

I keep hearing noises from my fireplace

I must be going crazy or the brandy's won the race

And I keep hearing ho ho ho, guess who's here

Your fat and jolly friend draws near

Ho ho ho, surprise, surprise

The bearded weirdy's just arrived

Ho ho ho, guess who's here

Your fat and jolly friend draws near

Ho ho ho, surprise surprise

The bearded weirdy's just arrived

On my roof there's snorting sounds, and bells inside my head

My vision's blurred with colour, and all he sees is red

There's a pair of large-sized wellies coming down my flue

And the smell of burning rubber, oh is filling up the room

Hold Me Closer lyrics - Elton John & Britney Spears

Hold me closer

Hold me closer

Hold me closer

Hold me closer

Saw you dancing out the ocean

Running fast along the sand

A spirit born of earth and water

Fire flying from your hands

Oh

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

Oh

Hold me closer

Hold me closer (Hold me closer)

Hold me closer

Hold me closer

There are caravans we follow

Drunken nights in dark hotels (Baby)

When chances breathe between the silence

When sex and love no longer gel

Oh

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway (Baby)

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

Hold me closer

Hold me closer (Baby, baby)

Hold me closer

Hold me closer (Oh yeah)

Hold me closer

Hold me closer

(Hold me closer, me closer) Hold me closer

(Me closer, mm, yeah) Hold me closer
