Elton John - Grey Seal (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK B-side in June, 1970
Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Why's it never light on my lawn
Why does it rain and never say good-day to the new-born
On the big screen they showed us the sun
But not as bright in life as the real one
It's never quite the same as the real one
And tell me grey seal
How does it feel
To be so wise
To see through eyes
That only see what's real
Tell me grey seal
I never learned why meteors were formed
I only farmed in schools that were so warn and torn
If anyone can cry then so can I
I read books and draw life from the eye
All my life is drawings from the eye
Your mission bells were wrought by ancient men
The roots were formed by twisted roots
Your roots were twisted then
I was re-born before all life could die
The Phoenix bird will leave this world to fly
If the Phoenix bird can fly then so can I
My song of the day, Elton really knew how to rock.
And guys, don't care about rednecks like that Oscar. It's him having a major problem with his life, not Elton, and neither it should be hours.
Elton is the one that rocks!

Elton John- the only musician I have ever heard of to produce so many hits consistently through the decades.

I must agree, what does his sexuality have to do with his music performance? Nothing, obviously. You're what I like to call,an ignorant ass hole.
