Goodbye Yellow Brick Road |
|
Sir Elton's crowning achievement! FINALLY, I found the entire album on Amazon as an MP3 download-after waiting for AGES!
:woohoo:
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
The whole album's great, but the title song says it all for me. I'm just a hick who tried the capitalist lifestyle. Didn't work out. Back to the land! With a DSL connection, of course. Just 5 bucks a month on the ole phone bill.

Somehow, it "disappeared". Believe me, I'm saving the MP3 to any digital medium I can think of! Vinyl is still the best, although we may need to educate younger DUers as to :wtf: vinyl is!

Good Elton song. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is perhaps my favorite single, or "Honky Cat," but "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"'s good, too.
