What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Elton's fifth and his first U.S. #1 album, with a #2 showing across the pond. Honky Cat was the #8 single here that
drove it. Probably the transition album that turned Elton into a rock star. Also the first album to include his
lineup of Murray, Johnstone and Olsson on all tracks. Other than the horn section, The only outside musician used
was Jean-Luc Ponty on violin. The only thing I don't like on here is the dreadful Amy. Five love tracks push it to
a love album with the beautiful Mona Lisa And Mad Hatters taking the best. Rocket Man may be the most well known.
Honky Cat, Mellow and Salvation round out those love tracks. Elton showed his vastness of styles on this album and
it remains a favorite of the critics. He was one of my favorites for many years.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Amy

Best Track - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters

Now I know, "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words
to say.
I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow,
in New York city.

Until you've seen this trash can dream come true,
You stand at the edge, while people run you through.
And I thank the Lord, there's people out there like you,
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you.

While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark out side or light.

This Broadway's got, its got a lot of songs to sing,
if I knew the tunes I might join in.
I go my way alone, grow my own,
my own seeds shall be sown, in New York city.
Subways no way , for a good man to go down,
Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown.

And I thank the Lord for the people I have found,
I thank the Lord for the people I have found.

While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark out side or light.

And now I know, "Spanish harlem" are not just pretty words
to say.
I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow,
in New York city.
Subways no way, for a good man to go down,
Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown.

And I thank the Lord for the people I have found,
I thank the Lord for the people I have found.

While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark outside or light,
they know not if it's dark outside or light.
