Songs About / On: YELLOW

I'm sick & tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bundle of hope
It's money for dope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mother's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima donnas
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope

Y'en a marre de vos figures blemes Enough's enough of your pallid faces
Vos couleurs sont vos problemes Your colors are your problems
Quand tout bourgeonne dans la haine When all breaks out in hatred

You say that somewhere over the rainbow,
There's a star that you've been wishin' on.

To drive it round and round our neighbourhood
We pass it round
Pass around this plumber's friend
Pass it round read more »

Never walk alone after midnight

Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album madman across the water

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This I can’t believe I said, I can’t believe our warlord’s dead
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns read more »
