    Between them, John and Taupin wrote some phenomenal and iconic pieces..none more so than these from the Yellow Brick Road album..my own copy worn down to buggery..pretty apt considering

    Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

    The roses in the window box
    Have tilted to one side
    Everything about this house
    Was born to grow and die

    Oh it doesn’t seem a year ago
    To this very day
    You said I’m sorry honey
    If I don’t change the pace
    I can’t face another day

    And love lies bleeding in my hand
    Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
    I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
    But my guitar couldn’t hold you
    So I split the band
    Love lies bleeding in my hands

    I wonder if those changes
    Have left a scar on you
    Like all the burning hoops of fire
    That you and I passed through

    You’re a bluebird on a telegraph line
    I hope you’re happy now
    Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
    You’ll make it back somehow

    [Chorus]
    [Chorus]
    Love lies bleeding in my hands

    Elton John-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 realised 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
    Damn it listen to me good
    I’m sleeping with myself tonight
    Saved in time, thank God my music’s still alive

    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

    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

    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
