goodbye yellow brick road

breaking the waves filminde de çalar bu harika şarkı. elton john'ın belki de en güzel şarkısıdır.

yanılmıyorsam candle in the wind ile Goodbye Yellow Brick Road albümünde bulunur. bu yüzden candle in the wind'in erken dönem versiyonu demek biraz garip olur.

keane'in de başarılı bir şekilde coverladığı şarkıdır. sözleriyse:

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 can't hold me forever
i didn't sign up with you
i'm not a present for your friends to open
this boy's too young to be singing the blues

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

what do you think you'll do then
i bet that'll 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.

mükemmel elton john şarkısı. insanın içini gıdıklamaktadır.
