You Gotta Love Someone lyrics

You Gotta Love Someone lyrics song presented by Elton John : Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a uk single in 1990 You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules but before you try You gotta love someone You gotta love someone You can stop the world, steal the face from the moon You can beat the clock, but before high noon You gotta love someone You gotta love someone Youve got one life with a reason You need two hearts on one side When you stand alone and there's no one there To share the way it feels inside and baby You can cheat the devil and slice a piece of the sun Burn up the highway but before you run You gotta love someone You gotta love someone When you're gonna play with fire You let someone share the heat When you're on your own and there's no one there To cool the flames beneath your feet and baby You can win the fight, you can grab a piece of the sky You can break the rules b...

Written In The Stars lyrics

Written In The Stars lyrics song presented by Elton John : I am here to tell you we can never meet again Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell The someone you once loved so long ago so well Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by You don't have to ask me and I need not reply Every moment of my life from now until I die I will think or dream of you and fail to understand How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand Is it written in the stars Are we paying for some crime Is that all that we are good for Just a stretch of mortal time Is this God's experiment In which we have no say In which we're given paradise But only for a day Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied Sometimes in my darkest though...

Wrap Her Up lyrics

Wrap Her Up lyrics song presented by Elton John : There are ladies, illegal X's Mona Lisa's, well connected They may be shady, English roses Blue blooded, turned up noses Money talks, see what it catches Postage paid, no strings attached She's a honey, she's a tramp Roaring twenties, molls and vamps Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, I only get one chance Beasts and beauties, but they all can dance Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up Give her to me, wrap her up Is she foreign, legs eleven Italian girls, take me to heaven You pretty babies, from Paris, France Crazy horses, love to dance

Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (Nyc) lyrics

Wouldn't Have You Any Other Way (Nyc) lyrics song presented by Elton John : I remember it like it was yesterday Snow in the park and skaters on the ice Long black cars standing side-by-side Loading up the boys at night Turned up our collars to the chill of the wind Caught an innocent smile from a taxi at the lights Not something you'd see on a New York street It's such an uncommon sight [chorus:] But I wouldn't have it any other way This city's got a thing about it, don't try to understand it New York City I'd really like to stay New York City I wouldn't have you I wouldn't have you any other way Oh the subway rumbled underneath Italian lights where Joey Gallo died And the man on the door down at 54's Letting only the pretty inside I'd wake with a stranger under the covers Late in the day and longing for the night Just like the snowfall there's so many bodies But somehow it feels so right [repeat chorus] ...

Wicked Dreams lyrics

Wicked Dreams lyrics song presented by Elton John : It's written clear across the room In silent words the blind could understand I came here to relax and find A sleep that soaks me up like surf and sand And you appear as I descend A soft outline all poised and feather light I come into the darkness now To conjure up a dream and close my eyes Don't disturb me if you dare Join me if you have the nerve I'll show you where the best of me has been Behind my eyes I'll wait for you Imagine just what we could do Come join me in my wicked dream Don't send me back to real life The daily grind just leaves me feeling numb Leave me in my wicked dream Where pressure cracks and beauty comes undone

White Christmas lyrics

White Christmas lyrics song presented by Elton John : I'm, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen to hear Sleigh bells in the snow I'm, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all of your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen to hear Sleigh bells in the snow I'm, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases, All your Christmases be white

Whispers lyrics

Whispers lyrics song presented by Elton John : Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers And whisper in a rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds close to the bone Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers

Whipping Boy lyrics

Whipping Boy lyrics song presented by Elton John : You're cruel, you do You do, you do me wrong You hurt me, you flirt with Any old face that comes along But I won't be your whipping boy No I won't be your whipping boy Break me like a little toy Run me till my feet are sore But I won't be your whipping boy You're wild, you're sly What you done to me I was thirty, I look like fifty But I feel like sixty three It's this illegal kind of loving That keeps my motor running From the start to the finish line It's a trashy kind of me that likes to believe That I'm still trying, I'm still trying I'm still trying, yes I'm trying You're dirty, but you're worth it But you're way, you're way too young I could do time if they found out Look out, San Quentin here I come

Where To Now St. Peter? lyrics

Where To Now St. Peter? lyrics song presented by Elton John : I took myself a blue canoe And I floated like a leaf Dazzling, dancing Half enchanted In my Merlin sleep Crazy was the feeling Restless were my eyes Insane they took the paddles My arms they paralyzed So where to now St. Peter If it's true I'm in your hands I may not be a Christian But I've done all one man can I understand I'm on the road Where all that was is gone So where to now St. Peter Show me which road I'm on Which road I'm on It took a sweet young foreign gun This lazy life is short Something for nothing always ending With a bad report Dirty was the daybreak Sudden was the change In such a silent place as this Beyond the rifle range I took myself a blue canoe

We All Fall In Love Sometimes lyrics

We All Fall In Love Sometimes lyrics song presented by Elton John : Wise men say It looks like rain today It crackled on the speakers And trickled down the sleepy subway trains For heavy eyes could hardly hold us Aching legs that often told us It's all worth it We all fall in love sometimes The full moon's bright And starlight filled the evening We wrote it and I played it Something happened it's so strange this feeling Naive notions that were childish Simple tunes that tried to hide it But when it comes We all fall in love sometimes Did we, didn't we, should we couldn't we I'm not sure 'cause sometimes we're so blind Struggling through the day When even your best friend says Don't you find We all fall in love sometimes And only passing time Could kill the boredom we acquired Running with the losers for a while But our Empty Sky was filled with laughter Just before the flood Painting worried faces with a smile ...

Wake Up Wendy lyrics

Wake Up Wendy lyrics song presented by Elton John : Got this bug-eyed girl Cold hand on my knee Frozen teeth, chitter, chatter She's dressed up like a cemetery Like a cemetery Snowbound all winter Blue lips on my cheek Little tongues, prattlin', rattlin' Talkin' about them hometown geeks Them hometown geeks Wake up Wendy, smell the coffee Help me into your custom kitchen Gimme a cup of that old black magic I wanna get me some of that old home cookin' Can you feel it, it's chilly and a freezin' Wake up Wendy, moods a changin' I got a reason and you got a feelin' Wake up Wendy, love's in season Feels like a steam clean When she washes me Clouds a bustin', pumps a hissin' Just peel me off the ceiling Off the ceiling Chill out bug-eyed-girl Zap me into cinders Pop the thermal mumbo jumbo Melt me with your little fingers With little fingers Wake up Wendy, smell the coffee Help me into your custom kitchen Gimme a cu...

Turn The Lights Out When You Leave lyrics

Turn The Lights Out When You Leave lyrics song presented by Elton John : Your bags out on the bed Your closet's all cleared out You say you're goin' to Jacksonville 'Cause our love's all worn out You're searching in my eyes To try and find a tear But the well of my forgiveness Has dried up with the years You might still look pretty In that lacey little dress But I think you've got your signals crossed If you think that I'm a mess I ain't gonna die, I ain't gonna cry I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve You can take the car, but you won't break my heart Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave I ain't gonna shake, I ain't gonna break I ain't gonna fall down on my knees So if everything's been said I'm heading back to bed Oh and darlin' turn the lights out when you leave It's like a prime time movie You play the part so well You do believe you're Heaven sent And liv...

Tower Of Babel lyrics

Tower Of Babel lyrics song presented by Elton John : Snow, cement and ivory young towers Someone called us Babylon Those hungry hunters Tracking down the hours But where were all your shoulders when we cried Were the darlings on the sideline Dreaming up such cherished lies To whisper in your ear before you die It's party time for the guys in the tower of Babel Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel Have a ball y'all See the letches crawl With the call girls under the table Watch them dig their graves 'Cause Jesus don't save the guys In the tower of Babel Watch them dig their graves 'Cause Jesus don't save the guys In the tower of Babel, no no no Junk, angel, this closet's always stacked The dealers in the basement Filling your prescription For a brand new heart attack But where were all your shoulders when we cried Were the doctors in attendance Saying how they felt so sick inside Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied ...

Tonight lyrics

Tonight lyrics song presented by Elton John : Tonight Do we have to fight again Tonight I just want to go to sleep Turn out the light But you want to carry grudges Nine times out of ten I see the storm approaching Long before the rain starts falling Tonight Does it have to be the old thing Tonight It's late, too late To chase the rainbow that you're after I'd like to find a compromise And place it in your hands My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear And I cannot find the time Tonight Just let the curtains close in silence Tonight Why not approach with less defiance The man who'd love to see you smile Who'd love to see you smile Tonight

Through The Storm lyrics

Through The Storm lyrics song presented by Elton John : Elton John & Aretha Franklin Oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, baby, ooh, baby In this world It's hard, you know Lovers come and lovers go People never seem to hold on To what they've got, no, no Some, they never stay together You and I, well, we know better We can make it last forever We can keep this love alive Through the storm Through the tears You and I I know we can survive To the day Through the night If we try We can keep it alive We can keep it alive I know sometimes it's been so tough We've been so close to giving up But our love's so strong Yeah, we keep holding on To what we got, ooh, ooh It's easier to walk away It takes a lot of love to stay Oh, we've got all the love it takes We know there's a brighter day Through the storm Through the tears You and I I know we can survive To the day Through the night If we try We can keep it alive We can keep...

This Train Don't Stop There Anymore lyrics

This Train Don't Stop There Anymore lyrics song presented by Elton John : You may not believe it But I don't believe in miracles anymore And when I think about it I don't believe I ever did for sure All the things I've said in songs All the purple prose you bought from me Reality's just black and white The sentimental things I'd write Never meant that much to me I used to be the main express All steam and whistles heading west Picking up my pain from door to door Riding on the storyline Furnace burning overtime But this train don't stop, This train don't stop, This train don't stop there anymore You don't need to hear it But I'm dried up and sick to death of love If you need to know it I never really understood that stuff All the stars and bleeding hearts All the tears that welled up in my eyes Never meant a thing to me Read 'em as they say and weep I've never felt enough to cry When I said that I don'...

This Song Has No Title lyrics

This Song Has No Title lyrics song presented by Elton John : 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 coloured 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 my darkness to come down on me For confusion to carry on turning the w...

The Wasteland lyrics

The Wasteland lyrics song presented by Elton John : Some days I think it's all a dream The things I've done, the places that I've been This life of mine seemed surreal at times Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind Could it be I'm not for real? I've slapped my face to check out how I feel There's hostages to prove it's true Who lives behind the mask was never proved Come on Robert Johnson Though we're worlds apart You and I know what it's like With the devil in our heart You sold your soul at the crossroads Kept a little of mine on hand I'm wading out this muddy water Been stranded in the Wasteland Rattling chains all around my bed Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead I'm not dying and I'm far from gone The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on

The Scaffold lyrics

The Scaffold lyrics song presented by 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 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 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
