Approaching Armageddon
作詞:Bernie Taupin, Dennis Tufano
On a foreign runway delayed by the rain I looked back on the last ten years And how my life has changed Aviator glasses protecting my eyes Reflecting my emotions on seeing so many die
Death from either life or love Strung out on a limb I've seen 'em turn from beer and pills To scotch and heroin
Never learned to turn the soil Though I should have done Daddy was a farmer and we were farmer's sons But I had plans to plough the streets
A long way from the land Leaving pool halls full of blood To the sounds of acoustic bands Razor blades and common trade
Throats cut on the working man I've walked through life on broken glass And I never gave a damn
For its harvest home and the church of England sings When your approaching Armageddon Let your baptism and penance
Be the only Lucifer to light your sins When you've chosen the hard ride Livin' on God's good side Approaching Armageddon once again もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com
Bolts of lightning shook me with the price of fame Rock and roll affected me but country kept me sane Universal gossip seared my wings I always rode the roundabouts
But I never tried the swings Married young and with my guns I blew her out of my life It's easy to hold on to time But it's hard to keep a wife
I only learned to play three chords My fingers weren't that long I never wrapped my arms around the neck of someone strong Moves of blue that strangled me drying up my pen
Til I was left to live my life on a scale from one to ten Wasted days and endless nights See the drunkard with the even tan I was just about to leave the rails When someone gave a damn
It's two years down and counting the couple on the wire I've lived and lost and paid the cost Of fighting fire with fire Traces of the onetime sometimes cross my mind
But when there's little left you're cruel to be kind I don't regret a single day You see, some of it was fun Ten years on I'm wiser But I'm still a farmer's son
