1. _ 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

2. _ Island Girl
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album rock of the westies
I see your teeth flash, jamaican honey so sweet
Down where lexington cross 47th street
She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
Island girl
What you wanting with the white man's world
Island girl
Black boy want you in his island world
He want to take you from the racket boss
He want to save you but the cause is lost
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world
She's black as coal but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well worn tire
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake
He one more gone, he one more john who make the mistake

5. _ Your Song
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, 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
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 words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
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

6. _ 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

8. _ Skyline Pigeon
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
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

9. _ Bennie And The Jets
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

10. _ Take Me To The Pilot
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
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

11. _ Philadelphia Freedom
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk single in february, 1975
I used to be a rolling stone
You know if the cause was right
I'd leave to find the answer on the road
I used to be a heart beating for someone
But the times have changed
The less i say the more my work gets done
`cause i live and breathe this philadelphia freedom
From the day that i was born i've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had
Oh philadelphia freedom shine on me, i love you
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind
Shine a light shine a light
Shine a light won't you shine a light
Philadelphia freedom i love you, yes i do
If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
Some others choose the good old family home
I like living easy without family ties
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes
