Here And There

Music and lyrics by leslie duncan
Available on the album tumbleweed connection

The words i have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what i mean
Have your eyes really seen


You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you


Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean
Have your eyes really seen

Available on the album empty sky
Released as a uk b-side in january, 1973

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
And fly away again
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 want to 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

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

Available on the album elton john

If you feel that it's real i'm on trial
And i'm here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and i'm spent with high treason

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul


Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger


Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger


Well i know he's not old
And i'm told he's a virgin
For he may be she
But what i'm told is never for certain
