Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John

This is the song I've been searching for ages! It's the song played in "Taiyo wa Shizumanai" (太阳不下山), the show from my primary school days. I still can't forget the scene where the little girl cried because she thought her mother was angry with her for breaking her favourite mug (the fact is that the mother died due to negligence on the doctor's part).



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
