Elton John - Idol lyrics
[Elton John - Idol lyrics]
Oh, he was a light star
Tripping on a high wire bulldog stubborn
Born uneven a classless creature
A man for all seasons but don't bet them
They can't take him to the very bottom
Because they made him and they'll waste him
And I don't believe that I wanna watch them
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
Mmm, he was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
He's not the same no more and I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
He was tight-assed walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes
But don't pretend that it won't end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lamé suit's
Right down to tennis shoes to peanuts
From the lion's share (Alright)
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
Oh, he was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh, he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
Tripping on a high wire bulldog stubborn
Born uneven a classless creature
A man for all seasons but don't bet them
They can't take him to the very bottom
Because they made him and they'll waste him
And I don't believe that I wanna watch them
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
Mmm, he was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
He's not the same no more and I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
He was tight-assed walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes
But don't pretend that it won't end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lamé suit's
Right down to tennis shoes to peanuts
From the lion's share (Alright)
'Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
Oh, he was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
Oh, he's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I like the way his music sounded before
