Tune me in to the wild side of life

I'm an innocent young child sharp as a knife

Take me to the garretts where the artists have died

Show me the courtrooms where the judges have lied

Let me drink deeply from the water and the wine

Light coloured candles in dark dreary mines

Look in the mirror and stare at myself

And wonder if that's really me on the shelf

And each day I learn just a little bit more

I don't know why but I do know what for

If we're all going somewhere let's get there soon

Oh this song's got no title just words and a tune

Take me down alleys where the murders are done

In a vast high powered rocket to the core of the sun

Want to read books in the studies of men

Born on the breeze and die on the wind

If I was an artist who paints with his eyes

I'd study my subject and silently cry

Cry for the darkness to come down on me

For confusion to carry on turning the wheel

 
Tough choice between Someone saved my life tonight and Funeral for a friend. Went with saved.

 
Very tough vote. I voted "sun" but could have gone a lot of different directions. BTW. his Red Piano show in Vegas is money.

 
Thank God nobody picked "I'm Still Standing." Just the thought of that video make my Johnny Come Lately shrink.

Elton is great. A few others that could have been included:

Empty Garden

Greatest Discovery

Burn Down the Mission

Sixty Years On

Border Song

I LOVE the Live in Australia cd.

 
Other: "I Feel Like a Bullet (in the Gun of Robert Ford)". One of the all-time greatest breakup songs.

2. Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

3. Country Comfort

4. Where to Now St. Peter?

5. Levon

6. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

7. Border Song

8. Daniel

If you feel that it's real I'm on trial

And I'm here in your prison

Like a coin in your mint

I am dented and I'm spent with high treason

Through a glass eye your throne

Is the one danger zone

Take me to the pilot for control

Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Take me to the pilot

Lead me through the chamber

Take me to the pilot

I am but a stranger

Well I know he's not old

And I'm told he's a virgin

For he may be she

But what I'm told is never for certain

 
MTV played a concert by him a long long long time ago. He was so "into" the song Candle in the Wind it was the best performance I have ever seen by Sir Elton.

I usually enjoy most cover songs that a band does of Elton's. That's probably a credit to Bernie Taupin's writing. They have gotta be the best singer songwriter duo ever.

 
Of the choices here, it's "Funeral/Love Lies Bleeding", but my all-time favorite is "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)".

Don't see either up there, but I'm a big fan of I Want Love and Blessed.

For this poll I voted Goodbye Yellow Brick and Funeral for a Friend.
