1. _ Candle In The Wind
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Goodbye norma jean
Though i never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And i would have liked to have known you
But i was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend never did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye norma jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our marilyn monroe

3. _ Curtains
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song, my joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
Cultivate the freshest flower
This garden ever grew
Beneath these branches
I once wrote such childish words for you
But that's okay
There's treasure children always seek to find
And just like us
You must have had
A once upon a time

4. _ I've Seen That Movie Too
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
I can see by your eyes you must be lying
When you think i don't have a clue
Baby you're crazy
If you think that you can fool me
Because i've seen that movie too
The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying love's just a four letter word
Between forcing smiles, with the knives in their eyes
Well their actions become so absurd
So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasn't got so much to lose
`cause you can tell by the lines i'm reciting
That i've seen that movie too
It's a habit i have, i don't get pushed around
Stop twinkling your star like you do
I'm not the blue print for all of your b films
Because i've seen that movie too

5. _ Little Jeannie
Music by elton john
Lyrics by gary osborne
Available on the album 21 at 33
Oh little jeannie, you got so much love, little jeannie
And you take it where it strikes and give it to the likes of me
Oh little jeannie, she got so much love, little jeannie
So i see you when i can, you make me all a man can be
And i want you to be my acrobat, i want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
And oh little jeannie, you were always someone's fool
Little jeannie, you got so much time, little jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth
Oh little jeannie, you got so much time, little jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth
And i want you to be my acrobat, i want you to be my lover
Oh there were others who would treat you cruel
But oh jeannie, i will always be your fool
And i want you to be my acrobat, i want you to be my lover
Oh there were others, and i've known quite a few
But oh oh jeannie, i'm still in love with you
Stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that i had seem suddenly shiny and new
Oh jeannie i'm so in love with you
Stepped into my life from a bad dream

6. _ Cry To Heaven
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album ice on fire
I found a black beret on the street today
It was lying in the gutter all torn
There's a white flag flying on a tall building
But the kids just watch the storm
Their dirty faces pressed on the windows
Shattered glass before their eyes
There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway
Where the sniper sleeps at night
No birthday songs to sing again
Just bricks and stones to give them
Wrap them up in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
There are many graves by a cold lake
As the beds were when your babies are born
And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin
But the kids just watch the storm
I saw a black cat tease a white mouse
Until he killed it with his claws
Seems a lot of countries do the same thing
Before they go to war

7. _ Harmony
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
Hello, baby hello
Haven't seen your face for a while
Have you quit doing time for me
Or are you still the same spoiled child
Hello, i said hello
Is this the only place you thought to go
Am i the only man you ever had
Or am i just the last surviving friend that you know
Harmony and me
We're pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
Harmony, gee i really love you
And i want to love you forever
And dream of the never, never, never leaving harmony
Hello, baby hello
Open up your heart and let your feelings flow
You're not unlucky knowing me
Keeping the speed real slow
In any case i set my own pace
By stealing the show, say hello, hello

9. _ Give Me The Love
Music by elton john
Lyrics by judy tzuke
Available on the album 21 at 33
You've been crying, and i'm crazy about you
I've been lying, and hanging you up, `cause
I'm deep on the inside, but flash on the outside
I am the thunder, and you are my lightning
Give me the love, baby, give me the key to your heart
Give me the love, baby, give me the key to your heart
Give me the love, give me the key to your heart
Months of watching, and hours of hoping
That you'd want me, when you see me again
For i am an eagle, but my wings are all tied up
You got the power to fly me again
You've been trying to build walls all around you
But you're lying, `cause i've already been through
And i've seen you trying to capture that feeling
But you're chasing what you've never believed in
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me

10. _ Are You Ready For Love
Written by thom bell, leroy bell and casey james
Released as a uk single in 1979
Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody, you're all for me
I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you, i'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you
Are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes i am
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes i am
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love
You're the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be the one for me
Say the word and i'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so
We'll hear the music ring from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world
With a lullaby so the angels will know us
Angels will know us

11. _ We All Fall In Love Sometimes
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy
Wise men say
It looks like rain today
It crackled on the speakers
And trickled down the sleepy subway trains
For heavy eyes could hardly hold us
Aching legs that often told us
It's all worth it
We all fall in love sometimes
The full moon's bright
And starlight filled the evening
We wrote it and i played it
Something happened it's so strange this feeling
Naive notions that were childish
Simple tunes that tried to hide it
But when it comes
We all fall in love sometimes
Did we, didn't we, should we couldn't we
I'm not sure `cause sometimes we're so blind
Struggling through the day
When even your best friend says
Don't you find
We all fall in love sometimes
And only passing time
Could kill the boredom we acquired
Running with the losers for a while
But our empty sky was filled with laughter
Just before the flood
Painting worried faces with a smile

12. _ High Flying Bird
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album don't shoot me i'm only the piano player
You wore a little cross of gold around your neck
I saw it as you flew between my reason
Like a raven in the night time when you left
I wear a chain upon my wrist that bears no name
You touched it and you wore it
And you kept it in your pillow all the same
My high-flying bird has flown from out my arms
I thought myself her keeper
She thought i meant her harm
She thought i was the archer
A weather man of words
But i could never shoot down
My high-flying bird
The white walls of your dressing room are stained in scarlet red
You bled upon the cold stone like a young man
In the foreign field of death
Wouldn't it be wonderful is all i heard you say
You never closed your eyes at night and learned to love daylight
Instead you moved away

13. _ Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album blue moves
What have i got to do to make you love me
What have i got to do to make you care
What do i do when lightning strikes me
And i wake to find that you're not there
What do i do to make you want me
What have i got to do to be heard
What do i say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do i do to make you love me
What have i got to do to be heard
What do i do when lightning strikes me
What have i got to do
What have i got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

14. _ Never Gonna Fall In Love Again
Music by elton john
Lyrics by tom robinson
Available on the album 21 at 33
Never meant to be so friendly
Never made the room look nice
Never heed a word of warning
Never take my own advice
I got a brand-new problem
Pretty and she's 5 foot 10
I been in love three times this week
I'm just about to fall again
I don't want to fall in love
Never gonna fall in love, again
I don't want to fall in love
Never gonna fall in love
I'm never gonna fall in love, again
Never meant to be so sexist
It's so hard to overcome
Trying hard to fight the feeling
Lechery can be such fun
`cause everywhere there's lots of foxes
And every cat i meet's a tom
I wish she didn't make me rabid
I wish she wouldn't turn me on
`cause everywhere there's lots of foxes
And every cat i meet's a tom
I wish she didn't make me rabid
I wish she wouldn't turn me on

15. _ Heartache All Over The World
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album leather jackets
Well i'm running away
From this house on the hill
There's a devil inside
Sitting on the window sill
And it's a wild friday night
And i'm all on my own
I knocked on every door in town
There ain't one little girl that's home
And everybody's got a date
And the ones that ain't are tired
What the hell do you do on a weekend honey
When your heart's on fire
And you can go from tokyo to rome
Looking for a girl
But it looks to me like the weekend means
Heartache all over the world
Girls, girls, girls
Have pity on me
Oh it looks to me like the weekend means
Heartache, heartache all over the world
He's got lipstick on his collar
She's got fishnets on her legs
I'm at home and i've got nothing
Just a cold and aching head
There must be something dirty
Just blame it on the magazines
Don't read that trash it'll drive you crazy
`cause the cops invade your dreams
And everybody's got a date
And the one's that ain't are tired
What the hell do you do on a weekend honey
When your heart's on fire

16. _ It's Me That You Need
Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Released as a uk single in may, 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
