Elton John (released in 1968) I didn't mean to hurt you You know it's just my way Those things that I said yesterday Were things I shouldn't say Although you're blue Just one thing I want you to do Just forget all those things That I said about you 'Cause I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And if you go away I just won't know what to do Yes I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And you know in your heart That I'll always worship you I couldn't bear to see you go Oh no no no no So don't you feel sad It's not the thing to do Because I worry If I know you're feeling blue Please put your tears away So nobody can see 'Cause the last thing I want Is for you to cry over me ################################################# @SONG: Here's To The Next Time - Elton John (released in 1968) Like I said baby If you go astray Well then go on Go your own sweet way I thought you knew by now You do just what you please And here's to the next time Here's to the next time How many times Have you gone before And how many times Have I forgiven you once more Never had to wait Like I waited for you And here's to the next time Here's to the next time When you're gone The time drags by I wish you'd learn Not to make me cry To make me cry So if you're gonna leave me Never to come back Break it to me gently Or my world will crack So be sure to let me know That I'll never say Here's to the next time Here's to the next time Here's to the next time ################################################# @SONG: All Across The Havens - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1969) The sister of sunlight Comes to my lonely life Bearing the cross that I hung I hung on my lonely wife And the anchor told me If I prayed by the river That the sweet sound of water Would always go with her All across the havens to the waterfall They told me I would meet her there Inside those icy walls But how on earth in this universe Can they forgive me of my pains Fo all across the havens I must stumble locked in chains Then the mother of mercy Showed me her stable And told me you would be safe Safe in her cradle And the waterfall opened And the water withdrew Leaving me standing On a road leading through ################################################# @SONG: It's Me That You Need - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1969) Hey there Look in the mirror Are you afraid you might see me looking at you Waiting, waiting at windows Oh it's me that you need Yes it's me and I'm waiting for you But I remain silent Oh I won't say a word I leave you to realise I'm the light in your world And it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you're needing It's me, yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me That you need Yes it's me, yes it's me, yes it's me If you want to be living I'm the one who's forgiving Admit that it's me that you need Watching, watching the swallows fly It all means the same Just like them You can fly home again But don't, no don't forget yesterday Pride is an ugly word girl And you still know my name ################################################# @SONG: Friends - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1971 on "Friends" soundtrack) I hope the day will be a lighter highway For friends are found on every road Can you ever think of any better way For the lost and weary travellers to go Making friends for the world to see Let the people know you got what you need With a friend at hand you will see the light If your friends are there then everything's all right It seems to me a crime that we should age These fragile times should never slip us by A time you never can or shall erase As friends together watch their childhood fly ################################################# @SONG: Michelle's Song - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1971 on Friends" soundtrack) Cast a pebble on the water Watch the ripples gently spreading Tiny daughter of the Camargue We were meant to be together We were made for one another In a time it takes to grow up If only we were old enough Then they might leave us both alone So take my hand in your hand Say it's great to be alive No one's going to find us No matter how they try No one's going to find us It's wonderful so wild beneath the sky Sleeping in the open See the shadows softly moving Take a train towards the southlands Our time was never better We shall pass the sights of splendor On the door of a new life It had to happen soon I guess Whether it is wrong or it is right We learned to be so graceful Watching wild horses running And from those agile angels We knew the tide was turning For we watched as on the skyway The herons circled slowly While we mere mortals watched them fly Our sleepless eyes grew heavy ################################################# @SONG: Jack Rabbit - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1973) Go jack rabbit running through the woods You had a good night and you feel real loose Heard they got you going round the goose creek shed Gonna fill your belly full of buck shot lead Go jack rabbit get the cabbage patch Farmer left the back porch door on the latch Heard you coming and he got his gun You better go jack rabbit baby's got to run Go jack rabbit running through the woods You had a good night and you feel real loose Gun fire breaking up the peaceful night Jack rabbit lying in the cold daylight Oh go jack rabbit running through the woods You had a good night and you feel real loose Heard they got you going round the goose creek shed Gonna fill your belly full of buck shot lead Oh go jack rabbit get the cabbage patch Farmer left the back porch door on the latch Heard you coming and he got his gun you better go jack rabbit baby's got to run ################################################# @SONG: Step Into Christmas - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1973) Welcome to my Christmas song I'd like to thank you for the year So I'm sending you this Christmas card To say it's nice to have you here I'd like to sing about all the things You eyes and mind can see So hop aboard the turntable Oh step into Christmas with me Step into Christmas Let's join together We can watch the snow fall forever and ever Eat, drink and be merry Come along with me Step into Christmas The admission's free Take care in all you do next year And keep smiling through the days If we can help to entertain you Oh we will find the ways So merry Christmas one and all There's no place I'd rather be Than asking you if you'd oblige Stepping into Christmas with me ################################################# @SONG: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - John Lennon/Paul McCartney (released in 1974) Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high Newspaper taxis appear on the shore Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with you head in the clouds And you're gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds Picture yourself on a train in a station With plasticine porters with looking glass ties Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile The girl with kaleidoscope eyes ################################################# @SONG: One Day At A Time - John Lennon (released in 1974) You are my weakness You are my friend Nothing I have in the world Makes better sense 'Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea When we're together Or when we're apart There's never a space in-between The beat of our hearts 'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree One day at a time Is all we do One day at a time Is good for you, you, you You are my woman I am your man Nothing else matters at all Now I understand That I'm the door and you're the key And every morning I wake in your smile Feeling your breath on my face And the love in your eyes 'Cause I'm the honey and you're the bee ################################################# @SONG: Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1975) I used to be a rolling stone You know if the cause was right I'd leave to find the answer on the road I used to be a heart beating for someone But the times have changed The less I say the more my work gets done 'Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom From the day that I was born I've waved the flag Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had Oh Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind Shine a light shine a light Shine a light won't you shine a light Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do If you choose to you can live your life alone Some people choose the city Some others choose the good old family home I like living easy without family ties Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me Right between the eyes ################################################# @SONG: House Of Cards - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (released in 1975) I hear tails from playboy has kidnapped your heart With his plane and his plans for games after dark Just a pain in his pocket, and the price of a room Where the second hand sheets smell of stale perfume If there's sharks in the water, don't swim where it's deep For the taste of success can be bitter and sweet It could be alright that I act like a child But you'll be the loser when the jokers run wild You're just playing the game, but the stakes are too high What will you do when the chips start to fly When the deck's stacked against you, and the living gets hard Oh it's four walls of madness in this house of cards Common you call me, but I know there's time In a handful of diamonds, a heart's hard to find And your house of cards starts weighing you down Your nights become restless when the clubs start to pound ################################################# @SONG: Planes - Elton John/Bernie Taupin (demo song from 1975 recorded for Rod Stewart) Oh Jessie I'd like to be One of those men upon the screen With American ladies and a cafe in Paris Serving Pernot and Kalua with cream You can see it I know All the doors have been closed in my face And the drinks at the cashbar Run a mile or more from this place And oh Jessie won't you look at the planes Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what they That there's a capital G in the name of the game And the runway's a home for my silver-red plane And won't you look at the planes Riding down the skyway Jessie ain't those wings just fine Don't it make you want to fly someday Why friend am I so still Tied to my job with time to kill Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote Killing giants on imaginary hills ################################################# @SONG: Sugar On The Floor - Kiki Dee (released in 1975) You're a stranger to me Then you give me your life I toss it to one side Still you're sweeter to me When we lie on the shore It's warm where you are But my lips just don't burn I feel so insecure When you try to be kind Could I ask for more Looking at you now I know you only want to find me Still I need a reason to leave the past behind me Behind me There ain't no easy way To learn how to fly I hope that I can kill When I turn around you're there Should I ask for more I feel like sugar on the floor I feel like sugar on the floor #################################################
