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.

4. I once did
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!

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