Jimmy1104 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Bernie Taupin was the lyricist of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. The song is about a country boy who left home for a rich woman and becomes disenchanted with her lifestyle. As the song says, he went back to the plow and hunting horny back toads. The Yellow Brick Road is a metaphor of the lifestyle he is leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD Elton John/Bernie Taupin 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
