FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC-ELTON JOHN CLASSICS

 

 From 1971
 
I can see very wellThere's a boat on the reef with a broken backAnd I can see it very wellThere's a joke and I know it very wellIt's one of those that I told you long agoTake my word I'm a madman, don't you know
 
Once a fool had a good part in the playIf it's so would I still be here todayIt's quite peculiar in a funny sort of wayThey think it's very funny everything I sayGet a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dearIt looks like rain, yeah
 
We'll come again next Thursday afternoonThe in-laws hope they'll see you very soonBut is it in your conscience that you're afterAnother glimpse of the madman across the water
 
I can see very wellThere's a boat on the reef with a broken backAnd I can see it very wellThere's a joke and I know it very wellIt's one of those that I told you long agoTake my word I'm a madman, don't you know
 
The ground's a long way down but I need moreIs the nightmare really blackOr are the windows paintedWill they come again next weekCan my mind really take it
 
We'll come again next Thursday afternoonThe in-laws hope they'll see you very soonBut is it in your conscience that you're afterAnother glimpse of a madman across the water
 
From 1970


You tell me there's an angel in your treeDid he say he'd come to call on meFor things are getting desperate in our homeLiving in the parish of the restless folks I know
 
Everybody now bring your family down to the riversideLook to the east to see where the fat stock hideBehind four walls of stone the rich man sleepsIt's time we put the flame torch to their keep
 
Burn down the missionIf we're gonna stay aliveWatch the black smoke fly to heavenSee the red flame light the sky
 
Burn down the missionBurn it down to stay aliveIt's our only chance of livingTake all you need to live inside
 
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out todayMy wife cried when they came to take me awayBut what more could I do just to keep her warmThan burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
 
Now everybody bring your family down to the riversideLook to the east to see where the fat stock hideBehind four walls of stone the rich man sleepsIt's time we put the flame torch to their keep
 
Burn down the missionIf we're gonna stay aliveWatch the black smoke fly to heavenSee the red flame light the sky
 
Burn down the missionBurn it down to stay aliveIt's our only chance of livingTake all you need to live inside
