REG STRIKES BACK

I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1988

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've always said that one's enough to love

Now I hear you're bragging one is not enough

Something tells me you're not satisfied

You got plans to make me one of four or five

  

I guess this kind of thing's just in your blood

But you won't catch me carving up my love

I ain't no puzzle piece that needs to fit

If it takes more than me let's call it quits

  

`Cause I don't wanna go on with you like that

Don't wanna be a feather in your cap

I just wanna tell you honey I ain't mad

But I don't wanna go on with you like that

  

It gets so hard sometimes to understand

This vicious circle's getting out of hand

Don't need an extra eye to see

That the fire spreads faster in a breeze

  

And I don't wanna go on with you like that

Don't wanna be a feather in your cap

I just wanna tell you honey I ain't mad

But I don't wanna go on with you like that

No I don't wanna go on with you like that

One more set of boots on your welcome mat

You'll just have to quit them if you want me back

`Cause I don't wanna go on with you like that

  

Oh if you wanna spread it around sister that's just fine

But I don't want no second hand feeding me lines

If you wanna hold someone in the middle of the night

Call out the guards, turn out the light

"Fille de dimanche, picture this...."

SUNDAY GIRL

by Blondie

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know a girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.

Dry your eyes, Sundae girl.

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl.

Looks like he's in another world.

Run and hide Sunday girl.

 

Hurry up, hurry up and wait.

I stay away all week and still I wait.

I got the blues.

Please come see what your loving means to me.

She can't catch up with the working crowd.

The weekend mood and she's feeling proud.

Live in dreams, Sunday girl.

"Baby, I would like to go out tonight".

"If I go with you my folks'll get uptight".

Stay at home, Sunday girl.

Ohh...

 

Hé, j'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille.

Il semblait dans un autre monde.

Cours te cacher Sunday Girl.

Quand je t'ai revu l'été,

J'ai décidé si ton amour était pareil au mien,

Je pourrais être Sunday Girl.

Dépêche-toi, dépêche-toi et attends.

Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attends.

J'ai le cafard, je t'en prie viens voir

Ce que ton amour représente pour moi.

Dépêche-toi, dépêche-toi et attends.

Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attends.

J'ai le cafard, je t'en prie viens voir

Ce que ton amour représente pour moi.

I got the blues.

 

Hurry up

Hurry up, Hurry up, and wait

Hurry up

Please come see what you do to me

Memory Of Love

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Gary Osborne 1986

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here am I, standing by

To see if you still love me

Why conceal, you still feel

The need to push and shove me

  

Take love for better, take love for worse

But never ever take love for granted

Make love and promise it will always be

More than just a memory of

  

Love will grow, it comes and goes

Emotions can deceive you

Well this I vow, here and now

My love will never never never leave you

  

Take love for better, take love for worse

But never ever take love for granted

Make love and promise it will always be

Ours for all eternity

Promise it will always be

More than just a memory of love

"This pretty watch'll do instead!"

You're So Static

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1974

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've a constant ache in the morning light

It's on account of the night before

Some Park Lane lady in a shady bar

Took a fancy to the watch I wore

 

But I can still remember how she laughed at me

As I spun around and hit the bed

She said thank you honey, forget about the money

This pretty watch'll do instead

 

City living woman, you're so static

Matching your men with a hook and eye

If you're gonna spend the summer in New York City

Them women oh oh oh they're gonna slice your pie

 

Said you're so static, baby I've had it

Rolling in a yellow cab

Downtown hustlers trying to pull some muscle

If they catch you, oh oh oh it could turn out bad

  

It's a Show me what you want, I'll show you what I've got

I can show you a real good time

She's a friend indeed of a friend in need

But you'll be sorry when she leaves you crying

You'll Accomp'ny Me

Music & lyrics by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band 1980

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A gypsy wind is blowing warm tonight

The sky is starlit and the time is right

And still you're tellin' me you have to go

Before you leave there's something you should know

Yeah something you should know babe

 

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun

I've seen your long hair flying when you run

I've rnade my mind up that it's meant to be

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

 

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea

You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

 

Some people say that love's a losin' game

You start with fire but you lose the flame

The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone

You end up cold and lonely on your own

 

I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all

I'll winyour love or I'II take the fall

I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

 

It's written down some where, it's not to be

You're high above me flyin' wild and free

Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

 

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Out where the rivers meetthe sounding sea

I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be

Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Somedaylady you'll accomp'ny me

Princess

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Gary Osborne 1982

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven't you heard what's new

There is a rumour

Going around that suddenly I've found you

Better believe it's true

I got a feeling

This is for real and nobody else will do

  

You are my princess

You make me smile

You make my life seem worthwhile

You are my princess

You are the one

You make the sun shine on me

You're one fine lady

You're my princess

You're my princess

  

Haven't you heard them say

I was a prisoner

Buried alive now suddenly I've been freed

But love is the sweetest way

Oh I was lonely

And now you're the only lover that I'll ever need

The One

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1992

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw you dancing out the ocean

Running fast along the sand

A spirit born of earth and water

Fire flying from your hands

  

In the instant that you love someone

In the second that the hammer hits

Reality runs up your spine

And the pieces finally fit

  

And all I ever needed was the one

Like freedom fields where wild horses run

When stars collide like you and I

No shadows block the sun

You're all I've ever needed

Baby you're the one

  

There are caravans we follow

Drunken nights in dark hotels

When chances breathe between the silence

Where sex and love no longer gel

  

For each man in his time is Cain

Until he walks along the beach

And sees his future in the water

A long lost heart within his reach

Feed Me

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1975

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't close the shades

I'm scared of the darkness

I'm cold as a razor blade

Inches from madness

 

Don't let me sleep here

They're all trying to kill me

I've seen the walls moving

They've all heard me screaming, screaming

 

Feed me

Feed my needs and then just leave me

Let me go back where you found me

'Cause I miss my basement

The sweet smell of new paint

The warmth and the comforts of home

So feed me

Give me my treatment and free me

My arms are so hungry so feed me

 

The room's so distorted

And filled with mad shadows

I feel like a carcass

White like a marrow bone

 

It all seems so long ago

I remember them laughing

I heard the ambulance scream

I saw the red light flashing, flashing

"She gets the sun in the daytime

Perfume in the dusk

And she comes out in the night-time

With the honeysuckle musk

Because she smells just like a rose

And she tastes just like a peach

She got me walking where the wildlife goes

I'd do anything to reach her...."

"Je me souviens du bord de mer

Avec ses filles au teint si clair

Elles avaient l'âme hospitalière

C'était pas fait pour me déplaire

 

Naives autant qu'elles étaient belles

On pouvait lire dans leurs prunelles

Qu'elles voulaient pratiquer le sport

Pour garder une belle ligne de corps

Et encore, et encore

Z'auraient pus danser la java

 

Z'étaient chouettes les filles du bord de mer

Z'étaient faites pour qui savait y faire

 

Y'en avait une qui s'apelait Eve

C'était vraiment la fille d'mes rêves

Elle n'avait qu'un seul défaut

Elle se baignait plus qu'il ne faut

 

Plutôt qu'd'aller chez le masseur

Elle invitait le premier baigneur

A tâter du côté de son coeur

En douceur, en douceur

En douceur et profondeur..."

Li'l 'Frigerator

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1984

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She looked so easy 'cause she looked so young

With a geisha smile made in Taiwan

She got cherry bombs inside her eyes

And the luck of the Irish on her side

  

Don't let her tell you that she loves your mind

She's got her price, she can turn on a dime

Those crocodile tears ain't tears of pain

Look a little closer, that's acid rain

  

And I don't know

Why li'l frigerator you're so cold

Go li'l frigerator go

Get away from my soul

Li'l frigerator you're so cold

  

She's calculated with the kiss of death

Got a digital mind and expensive breath

She's an empty shell, you're a piece of meat

Just another statistic on her readout sheet

I Can't Steer My Heart Clear Of You

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1997

--------------------------------------------------------------

Take me for granted, I think that I could stand it

After all these rough seas

Left me reckless and abandoned

Say the spirit's willing, chance a new beginning

Break down the cold front

Give me peace and understanding

  

And you wait, and you wonder

Will she still beat the drum and bring the thunder

Will she still be the star to see me through

'Cause I can't steer my heart clear of you

 

No I can't steer my heart clear of you

It's the way it's been, ever since you sailed

Out of a storm and into view

And should I drift away, the compass holds the clue

You control the weather

And I can't steer my heart clear of you

  

Make me your penance, show me your innocence

Everything is history

From the aching to the pleasure

We enjoy the torture, the slow pain that it taught us

Everything gets twisted

Let me burn or bring me water

  

And you wait, and you wonder

Will she still beat the drum and bring the thunder

Will she still be the star to see me through

'Cause I can't steer my heart clear of you

 

You control the weather

And I can't steer my heart clear of you

Avalon

Music & lyrics by Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry 1982

Now the party's over

I'm so tired

Then I see you coming

Out of nowhere

Much communication in a motion

Without conversation or a notion

Avalon

 

When the samba takes you

Out of nowhere

And the background's fading

Out of focus

Yes the picture's changing

Every moment

And your destination

You don't know it

Avalon

 

When you bossanova

There's no holding

Would you have me dancing

Out of nowhere

ON THE HIGH SEAS

Music & lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot 1980

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was it someone she met that's so hard to forget

Was it some kind of an ocean of changes

I don't remember where she said she would be

And since I don't know, let me guess

Was it somewhere in Michigan or the Lake of the Woods

Up in old Montreal or Toronto the good

Somewhere in Reno or somewhere in Rome

And when all is said and done

Will she leave me alone

 

I don't want to get so low

And as for my sadness, it comes and it goes

I don't remember where she said she would be

Back in the city or on the high seas

 

Was it up in Hornpayne where the trains run on time

Was she drinking champagne when she made up her mind

North of the border or down in South Bend

And when all is said and done

Is there no rainbow's end

 

I don't want to own the key

To some ghostly mansion where souls are set free

I don't remember where she said she would go

Straight for the highway or down the low road

I don't remember where she said she would be

Back in the city or on the high seas

STRANGERS

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Gary Osborne 1979

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two people caught on a string

A high-wire act above the center ring

While the audience is wondering

If we'll make it back

  

Two people up on a wire

Overhead and under fire

While the audience enquire

If it's just a knack

  

Strangers, after all, we find we're strangers

After all this time

We've made the long and the lonely climb

And now we've reached the part

Where we find we're strangers

We were strangers from the start

  

Two people caught in the tide

On the edge of love and pride

And both afraid to approach the side

And fall again

  

Two people playing the part

But which is life and which is art

And isn't it a little late

To start it all again

Understanding Women

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1992

Rolling over trying to sleep

And understanding women

Thinking of you out there somewhere

Looking for a new beginning

  

Just let me be the final word

In the book we haven't written

I won't be another page

In understanding women

  

I could drive to Mexico

On understanding women

Throw myself against the waves

And answer up to heaven

  

How come her heart's so stubborn

And what's so wrong with giving

Ask the big sky talking

About understanding women

  

And I'm not just anyone who ever stood outside your door

And I'm not any man you've ever known before

Don't judge this picture by the frame

Every man is not the same

Some men reach beyond the pain

Of understanding women

Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving

He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling

He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game

He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same

There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us

So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus

 

And it's all over now

Don't you worry no more

Gonna go west to the sea

The greyhound is swaying

And the radio is playing

Some blues for baby and me

 

And the highway looks like it never did

Lord it looks so sweet and so free

And I can't forget that trip to the west

Singing blues for baby and me

 

Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise

It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky

I called you my child, said honey now this is our game

There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again

There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us

So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus

Stinker

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1974

Say what you will but I'm a stinker

I come crawling up out of my hole

Dirt in my toes, dirt up my nose

I'm a perfect curse to pest control

 

Seeds and weeds and muddy meals

Crawling around the earth

Down in the ground where the sun don't pound

I hibernate in English turf

 

Better believe it, I'm a stinker

Burning vermin stink

Watch me get as high as a heat wave honey

Tell me what you hound dogs think

 

Set in my styles with a beady eye

I got connections with the underground

Call me a common rodent boy

Sitting here safe and sound

 

Some mole hill mother sauntered by

Acting like the ace of spades

Don't give that cutey no reason to shoot me

When I'm living on the eggs she laid

Got this bug-eyed girl

Cold hand on my knee

Frozen teeth, chitter chatter

She's dresed up like a cemetary, like a cemetary

  

Snow-bound all winter

Blue lips on my cheek

Little tongue's prattlin', rattlin'

Talking 'bout them hometown geeks, them home-town geeks

  

Wake up Wendy, smell the coffee

Help me into your custom kitchen

Gimme a cup of that old black magic

I wanna get me some of that old home cookin'

  

Can you feel it

It's chilly and a-freezin'

Wake up Wendy, moods are changing

I got a reason, you got a feeling

Wake up Wendy, love's in season

  

Feels like a steam clean

When she washes me

Valves a-bustin', pumps a-hissin'

Just peel me off the ceiling, off the ceiling

  

Chill-eyed, bug-eyed girl

Zap me into cinders

Pop the thermal mumbo jumbo

Melt me with your little fingers, with your little fingers

"I have to write a letter

Tell about my feelings

Just to let him know the scene

Focus my attention

On some further education

In connection with the birdies and the bees..."

Spiteful Child

Music & lyrics by Elton John & Bernie Taupin 1982

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want to worry you none but I got the hurt on the run

I just cut out the poison that was in me so long

Watching you tear out my heart only gave me the last laugh

Watching you tear out your hair is gonna be the best part

 

Oh I've been shaken down by a spiteful child

I've slapped a worried frown on that evil smile

I've been taken down by a spiteful child

I've turned the tables round and it drives you wild

Oh you spiteful child

 

You'd better be ready to run, now I've got you under the gun

I put my money on vengeance before this race had begun

Breaking the spirit in me only added to your conceit

Playing you at your own game is going to make it complete

 

Oh I've been shaken down by a spiteful child

Turn the tables round and it drives you wild

Oh you spiteful child

SEPTEMBER WHEN IT COMES

By Rosanne & Johnny Cash

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a cross above the baby's bed,

A Saviour in her dreams.

But she was not delivered then,

And the baby became me.

There's a light inside the darkened room,

A footstep on the stair.

A door that I forever close,

To leave those memories there.

 

So when the shadows link them,

Into an evening sun.

Well first there's summer, then I'll let you in.

September when it comes.

 

I plan to crawl outside these walls,

Close my eyes and see.

And fall into the heart and arms,

Of those who wait for me.

I cannot move a mountain now;

I can no longer run.

I cannot be who I was then:

In a way, I never was.

 

I watch the clouds go sailing;

I watch the clock and sun.

Oh, I watch myself, depending on,

September when it comes.

 

So when the shadows link them,

And burn away the clouds.

They will fly me, like an angel,

To a place where I can rest.

When this begins, I'll let you know,

September when it comes.

A song from the GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD album that was released in 1973 by ELTON JOHN.
