Sacrifice

It's a human sign

When things go wrong

When the scent of her lingers

And temptation's strong

Into the boundary

Of each married man

Sweet deceit comes calling

And negativity lands

Cold cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things look better, baby

Just passing through

And it's no sacrifice

Just a simple word

It's two hearts living

In two separate worlds

But it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice

It's no sacrifice at all

Mutual misunderstanding

After the fact

Sensitivity builds a prison

In the final act

We lose direction

No stone unturned

No tears to damn you

When jealousy burns

Cold, cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things look better, baby

Just passin' through

And it's no sacrifice

Just a simple word

It's two hearts livin'

In two separate worlds

But, it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice

It's no sacrifice, at all

Cold, cold heart

Hard done by you

Some things look better, baby

Just passin' through

And it's no sacrifice

Just a simple word

It's two hearts livin'

In two separate worlds

But, it's no sacrifice

No sacrifice

It's no sacrifice, at all

No sacrifice, at all

Rocket man

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Zero hour 9:00 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

Til touchdown 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

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

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

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

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

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

I'm a rocket man

Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

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

And I think it's gonna be a-

Your Song

[Verse 1]

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, heh, but then again, no

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song, and this one's for you

[Chorus]

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 the words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 the words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

[Outro]

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in the words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Tiny Dancer

Blue-jean baby

L.A. lady

Seamstress for the band

Pretty-eyed

Pirate smile

You'll marry a music man

Ballerina

You must've seen her

Dancing in the sand

And now she's in me

Always with me

Tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks

Out in the street

Handing tickets out for God

Turning back

She just laughs

The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man

He makes his stand

In the auditorium

Looking on

She sings the songs

The words she knows

The tune she hums

But oh, how it feels so real

Lying here, with no one near

Only you and you can hear me

When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

Blue-jean baby

L.A. Lady

Seamstress for the band

Pretty-eyed

Pirate smile

You'll marry a music man

Ballerina

You must have seen her

Dancing in the sand

Now she's in me

Always with me

Tiny dancer in my hand

Oh, oh, how it feels so real

Lying here, with no one near

Only you, and you can hear me

When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

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 to my old 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, ah, ah

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

Ah, ah

What do you think you'll do then?

I bet they'll shoot down the 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 who ain't got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you

On the ground, ah, ah

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

Ah, ah

Candle In The Wind

Goodbye, Norma Jeane

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've liked to know 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

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've liked to know you

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Goodbye, Norma Jeane

Though I never knew you at all

You had the grace to hold yourself

While those around you crawled

Goodbye, Norma Jeane

From the young man in the twenty second row

Who sees you as something more than sexual

More than just our Marilyn Monroe

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've liked to know you

But I was just a kid

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Your candle burned out long before

Your legend ever did

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

What have I gotta do to make you love me?

What have I gotta do to make you care?

What do I do when lightning strikes me?

And I wake up and find that you're not there

What've I gotta do to make you want me?

Mmm hmm, what've I gotta do to be heard?

What do I say when it's all over?

And sorry seems to be a hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's gettin' more and more absurd

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over?

Ohh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad

It's a sad, sad situation

And it's gettin' more and more absurd

It's sad, so sad

Why can't we talk it over?

Ohh, it seems to me

That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me?

What have I got to do to be heard?

What do I do when lightning strikes me?

What have I got to do?

When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Ooh yeah, sorry seems to be the hardest word

Crocodile Rock

I remember when rock was young

Me and Susie had so much fun

Holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock

We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will

Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights

When Susie wore her dresses tight

And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

But the years went by and the rock just died

Susie went and left us for some foreign guy

Long nights crying by the record machine

Dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we've got

Burning up to the Crocodile Rock

Learning fast as the weeks went past

We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will

Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights

When Susie wore her dresses tight

And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

I remember when rock was young

Me and Susie had so much fun

Holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were rocking 'round the clock

We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Well, Crocodile Rocking is something shocking

When your feet just can't keep still

I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will

Oh, lawdy mama, those Friday nights

When Susie wore her dresses tight

And the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

Laa, la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-laa

I'm Still Standing

You could never know what it's like

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice

And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you

You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win?

Well, look at me, I'm a-coming back again

I got a taste of love in a simple way

And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once I never could've hoped to win

You're starting down the road leaving me again

The threats you made were meant to cut me down

And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

You know I'm still standing better than I ever did

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did?

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Funerral For A Friend

The roses in the window box

Have tilted to one side

Everything about this house

Is gonna grow and die

Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day

You said I'm sorry honey

If I don't change the pace

I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes

Have left a scar on you

Like all the burning hoops of fire

That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

I hope you're happy now

While if the wind of change comes down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands

And love lies bleeding in my hand

Oh it kills me to think of you with another man

I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan

But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band

Love lies bleeding in my hands

Oooooh oooh

Oooooh

Oh oh oh oh ooh

Love lies bleeding in my hands

Oooh

Oooh ooh

Sad Song

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 'em on, turn 'em 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, oh oh oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

If someone else is suffering enough oh 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

So turn 'em on, turn 'em 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, oh oh oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

Sad songs, they say

Sad songs, they say so much

So, turn 'em on, (turn 'em on), turn 'em on, (turn 'em 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, oh oh oh

Just feel their gentle touch (gentle touch)

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

When all hope is gone

You know sad songs say so much

When ever little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When ever little bit of hope is gone

Sad songs say so much

When all hope is gone

Sad songs say

Levon

Levon wears his war wound like a crown

He calls his child Jesus

Cause he likes the name

And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money

He makes a lot, they say

Spends his days counting

In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day

When the New York Times said, "God is dead

And the war's begun"

Oh, Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town

His family business thrives

Jesus blows up balloons all day

Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus

Leave Levon far behind

Take a balloon and go sailing

While Levon, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day

When the New York Times said, "God is dead

And the war's begun"

Oh, Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan, woo

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan, woo

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Don't go breaking my heart

I couldn't if I tried

Honey if I get restless

Baby you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart

You take the weight off of me

Honey when you knock on my door

Ooh, I gave you my key

Woo hoo

Nobody knows it

When I was down

Right from the start

I gave you my heart

Oh-oh I give you my heart

Nobody told us

Cause nobody showed us

Now it's up to us babe

Whoa I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me

You put the light in my life

Oh, you put the spark to the flame

I got your heart in my sight

Woo hoo

Nobody knows it

But when I was down

I was your clown

Woo hoo

Nobody knows it

(Nobody knows... it)

Right from the start

I gave you my heart

Oh-oh

Don't go breaking my heart

I won't go breaking your heart

Don't go breaking my heart

Nobody knows it

(Woo hoo) I gave you my heart

Oh-oh I give you my heart

Don't go breaking my heart

I won't go breaking your heart

(Don't go breaking my)

Don't go breaking my heart
