[the live version is available on the fan club christmas cd 1998.]

- bernie taupin

(elton john - from the album goodbye yellow brick road)



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 know you cant hold me forever

I didnt sign up with you

Im not a present for your friends to open

This boys too young to be singing the blues



So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You cant plant me in your penthouse

Im going back to my plough



Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh Ive finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road



What do you think youll do then

I bet thatll shoot down your plane

Itll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

To set you on your feet again



Maybe youll get a replacement

Theres plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who aint got a penny

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground



So goodbye yellow brick road

Where the dogs of society howl

You cant plant me in your penthouse

Im going back to my plough



Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh Ive finally decided my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road
