Elton John's composing partner ... the word man.
Someone Saved My Life Tonight
When I think of those east end lights, muggy nights The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs Prima donna Lord you really should have been there Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore We've all gone crazy lately My friends out there rolling 'round the basement floor
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear You nearly had me roped and tied Altar-bound, hypnotized Sweet freedom whispered in my ear You're a butterfly And butterflies are free to fly Fly away, high away, bye bye
I never realized the passing hours of evening showers A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams I'm strangled by your haunted social scene Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen It's four o'clock in the morning Dammit listen to me good I'm sleeping with myself tonight Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
And I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river Clinging to your stocks and bonds Paying your h.p. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight Someone saved my life tonight So save your strength and run the field you play alone

The One
saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands In the instant that you love someone In the second that the hammer hits Reality runs up your spine And the pieces finally fit And all I ever needed was the one Like freedom fields where wild horses run When stars collide like you and I No shadows block the sun You're all I've ever needed Baby you're the one There are caravans we follow Drunken nights in dark hotels When chances breathe between the silence Where sex and love no longer gel For each man in his time is Cain Until he walks along the beach And sees his future in the water A long lost heart within his reach

(if anyone can't get this video, let me know and I'll add another)
Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white Im growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Its much too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
(Ladies and gentlemen mr. elton john)
I can't find Oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don't discard me baby don't Just because you think I mean you harm Just because you think I mean you harm, oh But these cuts I have, cuts I have They need love They need love, they need love to help them heal
Oh, don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I that see, yeah Id just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby, oh Cause losing everything is like the sun going down on me
