"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" lyrics
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
(originally by Elton John)
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You cannot hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This girl's too young to be singing
The blues
Ah, ah ha ah ah
Ah ah ha ha
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah ha ah ah
Ah ah ha
What do you think you'll do, then?
They'll probably shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground
Ah, ah ha ah ah
Ah ah ha
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling, old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny-back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah ha ah ah
Ah ah ha

Rose Cousins - "I Would Die 4 U" I'm not a woman

'Cause you, I would die for you, yeah...
Aimee Mann - "Avalanche" Well, I stepped into an avalanche
It covered up my soul
When I am not this hunchback that you see
I sleep beneath the golden hill
You who wish to conquer pain
You must learn, learn to serve me well...
