Hymn 2000

Written by elton john and bernie taupin

Available on the album empty sky





She chose the soft centre

And took it to bed with her mother

And the ideal confusion

Was just an illusion

To gain further news of her brother



And the comfort of mother

Was just an appeal for protection

For the cat from next door

Was found later at four

In surgical dissection





And i don't want to be

The son of any freak

Who for a chocolate centre

Can take you off the street





For soon they'll plough the desert

And god knows where i'll be

Collecting submarine numbers

On the main street of the sea





The vicar is thicker

And i just can't see through to him

For his cardinal sings

A collection of hymns

And a collection of coins is made after





And who wrote the bible

Was it judas or pilate

Well one cleans his hands

While the other one hangs

But still i continue to stand
