SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT
TEXT + MUSIK : ELTON JOHN/TAUPIN
PRODUZIERT <P> : 1975
INTERPRET : ELTON JOHN
-------------------------------------------------------
When I think of those east end lights muggy nights
the curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
prima donna lord you really should have been there
sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
and it's one more beer
and I don't hear you anymore
weve all gone crazy lately
my friend's out there rolling round the basement floor
-------------------------------------------------------
And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
you almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
you nearly had me roped and tied
altar bound hypnotised
sweet freedom whispered in my ear
you're a butterfly
and butterflays are free to fly
fly away high away bye bye
-------------------------------------------------------
I never realised the passing hours
of evening showers
a slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
just a pawn out played by a dominating queen
it's four o' clock in the morning damn it
listen to me good
i'm sleeping with myself tonight
saved in time thank god my music's still alive
-------------------------------------------------------
And I would have walked head on
into the deep end of a river
clinging to your stocks and bonds
paying your h.p. demands forever
they're coming in the morning
with a truck to take me home
someone saved my life tonight
someone saved my life tonight
someone saved my life tonight
someone saved my life tonight
someone saved my life tonight
so save your strength and run the field you play alonee.
