"Sacrifice" lyrics
"Sacrifice"
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes a callin'
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things looking better, baby
Just passin' through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But, it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all
No sacrifice, at all

Writer(s): Elton John, Bernard J.p. Taupin
The meaning of this song was explained by Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin in Music Connection magazine before the song's release, "It's a simple lyric, but it's an intelligent adult lyric. It's basically about the rigors of adult love, and it's a million miles away from 'Your Song'."
This single was released in 1989, but could reach only the 55th position in the UK. Only after it was re-issued as a double A-side single with the song "Healing Hands", could it reach the top in the summer of 1990.
This song was the first Elton John's solo number-one hit in the UK.

Culture Club - "Love Is Love" You don't have to touch it to know
Love is everywhere you go
You don't have to touch it to feel
Love is every second we steal
Love is love is nothing without you
Love is love is everything you do...
Foreigner - "I Don't Want To Live Without You" I find myself in a strange situation
And I don't know how
What seemed to be an infatuation
Is so different now
I can't get by if we're not together
Ooh can't you see
Girl, I want you now and forever...
Take That - "How Deep Is Your Love" And when you rise in the morning sun
I feel you touch my hand in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze...
Roxette - "Un Dia Sin Ti (Spending My Time)" Que hora es?
bienvenida la manana.
Tan sola yo y el cielo tan azul.
En mi cafe, en mi radio y en mi tele
siempre estas tu.
Para empezar me levanto de la cama
y voy vistiendome asi como asi.
Gracias...
