Idol

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Oh he was a light star
Tripping on a hire wire
Bulldog stubborn
Born uneven
A classless creature
A man for all seasonss
But don't bet them they can't
Take him to the very bottom because
They made him
And they'll waste him
And I don't believe
That I want to watch them

Cos the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
He's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I liked the way his music sounded before

He was tight-assed
Walking on broken glass
Highly prized
In the wallet size
The number one crush
In a schoolgirl's eyes
But don't pretend tht it won't end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lamé suits
Right down to tennis shoes
To peanuts
From the lion's share

Cos the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then
Now he's an idol here
But his face has changed
He's not the same no more
And I have to say
That I liked the way his music sounded before
