Home Again

Hope all can go back home again  

-------


Elton John - Home Again 



I’m counting on a memory to
get me outta here
I’m waiting for the fog around
this spooky little town to clear
All this time I’ve spent being
someone else’s friend
Just one more time, for old time’s sake,
I’d like to go back home again

The world had seven wonders once upon a time
It’s sure enough the favoured nations
aided their decline
And all around me,
I’ve seen times like it was back when
But like back then,
I’d say amen if I could get back home again

If I could go back home,
if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leaving,
but wind up in the end
Spending all our time trying
to get back home again

Could've been a jailbreak and
the spotlight hitting me
Or was I just some nightclub singer,
back in 1963
In the old part of Valencia on the coast of Spain
Never tiring once of hearing songs
about going home again

If I could go back home,
if I could go back home
If I’d never left,
I’d never have known
We all dream of leaving,
but wind up in the end
Spending all our time trying to
get back home again

Start VS Stop

For some cases, 
it is not difficult to 
find the right time to start, 
but it is not always quite easy to 
find the right time to stop.
 



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
Sittin' 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 friend's out there rolling 'round the basement floor
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear (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
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
Never realized the passing hours of evening showers
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn outplayed 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 is still alive
(aah-aah-aah-aah-aah...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
(sugar bear 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
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
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
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
(sugar bear sugar bear)
(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

Come Down In Time

Time goes by fast.

we should take any

available opportunity

to get what we want,

such as love, money, or both!

Time will steal from you

what you are pursuing

 if you fail to get them in time.







Elton John - Come Down In Time

In the quiet silent seconds 
I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you 
In the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars 
Sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light s
Shone down from a room
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and 
I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if 
she's coming at all
Come down in time 
I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
There are women and women and 
some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night

Before and after one has become famous and successful

Before one becomes successful and famous,

being someone known only to his mother,

he will only talk with his mother 

about the ways he can go:

"Are there chances in life for little dirt cowboys?"

"Should I make my way out of 

my home in the woods?"


After one has become successful and famous,

he has become someone

who can frankly talk with his mother only 

about his ups and downs on the way there,

just because only his mother couldn't fool him 

and tell him her real feelings.

"Hey, Mom, do the papers say anything good?"




Elton John - Captain Fantastic and Brown Dirt Cowboy

Captain Fantastic, raised and regimented, 
hardly a hero
Just someone his mother might know
Very clearly a case for Corn Flakes and classics
"Two teas both with sugar please"
In the back of an alley
While little dirt cowboys 
turned brown in their saddles
Sweet chocolate biscuits and 
red rosy apples in summer
For it's hay make and "Hey mom, 
do the papers say anything good?
Are there chances in life for little dirt cowboys?
Should I make my way out of my home in the woods?"
Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing
City slick Captain
Fantastic the feedback
The honey, the hive could be holding
For there's weak winged young sparrows that 
starve in the winter
Broken young children on 
the wheels of the winners
And the sixty-eight 
summer festival wallflowers are thinning
For cheap easy meals, 
hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with 
a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town
And all this talk of Jesus 
coming back to see us
Mmm mmm couldn't fool us
For we were spinning out our lines 
walking on the wire
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme
The Captain and the Kid 
stepping in the ring
From here on sonny sonny sonny, 
it's a long and lonely climb
For cheap easy meals, 
hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with 
a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town
