Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word - 1976

...

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 overOh 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...

Elton John.~ LUCY in THE SKY with DIAMONDS.

...



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 goneLucy 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…

Elton John.~ CANDLE IN THE WIND.

* CANDLE IN THE WIND *

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 ever didLoneliness 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....

Elton John.- CROCODILE ROCK..

..

~~~~***~~~~

..

...

..

I remember when rock was young

Me and Suzie had so much fun

holding hands and skimming stones

Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own

But the biggest kick I ever got

was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock

While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock

we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking

when your feet just can't keep stillI

never knew me a better time and I guess I never will

Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights

when Suzie wore her dresses tight

and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight

But the years went by and the rock just died

Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy

Long nights crying by the record machined

reaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

But they'll never kill the thrills we've got

burning up to the Crocodile Rock

Learning fast as the weeks went past

we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last..
