1. _ This Song Has No Title
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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 wheel

2. _ Sweet Painted Lady
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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

3. _ Harmony
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Hello, baby hello
Haven't seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me
Or are you still the same spoiled child
Hello, i said hello
Is this the only place you thought to go
Am i the only man you ever had
Or am i just the last surviving friend that you know
Harmony and me
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee i really love you
And i want to love you forever
And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony
Hello, baby hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
You're not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case i set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello

4. _ Roy Rogers
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Sometimes you dream, sometimes it seems
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

5. _ Grey Seal
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk b-side in june, 1970
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Why's it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
On the big screen they showed us the sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
It's never quite the same as the real one
And tell me grey seal
How does it feel
To be so wise
To see through eyes
That only see what's real
Tell me grey seal
I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn
If anyone can cry then so can i
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the phoenix bird can fly then so can i

6. _ Jamaica Jerk Off
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
When she gets up in the morning
It's enough to wake the dead
Oh she turning on the radio
And dancing on my head
It's no good living in the sun
Playing guitar all day
Boogalooing with my friends
In that erotic way
Come on jamaica
In jamaica all day
Dancing with your darling
Do jamaica jerk-off that way
Come on jamaica
Everybody say
We're all happy in jamaica
Do jamaica jerk-off that way
Let the ladies and the gentlemen
Be as rude as they like
On the beaches, oh in the jungle
Where the people feel alright
So do it jamaica
Got plenty for you and me
Honky tonking with my baby
In that deep blue sea

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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, 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
Bennie and the jets
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

8. _ Candle In The Wind
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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 never 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

9. _ Your Sister Can't Twist (but She Can Rock 'n' Roll)
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
I could really get off being in your shoes
I used to be stone sold on rhythm and blues
A heard of a place at the back of town
Where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down
I really got buzzed when your sister said
"throw away them records `cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight i learned for certain that the blues expired
Oh your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
She can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me
Somebody help me `cause the bug bit me
Now i'm in heaven with the aching feet
But i'll be back tonight where the music plays
And your sister rocks all my blues away
I really got buzzed when your sister said
"throw away them records `cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire"
And tonight i learned for certain that the blues expired

10. _ Saturday Night's Alright (for Fighting)
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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

11. _ Social Disease
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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

12. _ The Ballad Of Danny Bailey (1909-34)
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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 a proper, i guess life just bugged him
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age

13. _ All The Girls Love Alice
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of mummy-doesn't-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey, you know what i mean
All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice it's my turn today
All the young girls love alice
Tender young alice they say
If i give you my number
Will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in soho
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know

14. _ Dirty Little Girl
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck
That ain't nice to say sometimes i guess i'm really hard
But i'm gonna put buckshots in your pants if you step into my yard
When i watch the police come by and move you on
Well i sometimes wonder what's beneath the mess you've become
Well you may have been a pioneer in the trade of women's wear
But all you got was a mop up job washing other people's stairs
I'm gonna tell the world, you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down scrub her back
And turn her inside out
`cause i bet she hasn't had a bath in years
Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you i belong to myself
So don't show up around here till your social worker's helped

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
I can see by your eyes you must be lying
When you think i don't have a clue
Baby you're crazy
If you think that you can fool me
Because i've seen that movie too
The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying love's just a four letter word
Between forcing smiles, with the knives in their eyes
Well their actions become so absurd
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasn't got so much to lose
`cause you can tell by the lines i'm reciting
That i've seen that movie too
It's a habit i have, i don't get pushed around
Stop twinkling your star like you do
I'm not the blue print for all of your b films
Because i've seen that movie too

17. _ Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album 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
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 who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground
