Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight"
When I think of those eastern lights, muggy nights
...
Dreamed I'd done a lot, you really should have been there
...
And just one more beer, and I don't hear you anymore
...
You nearly had me roped and tied
Moribund, hypnotised, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
...
Sit loose, hangin' in my darkest dreams
And strangled by your heart of social scenes
...
Sick and tired, thank God my music's still alive
...
So save your friends, and run the field you play alone
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
...
Prima donna, lord, you really should-a been there
...
And it's one more beer, and I don't hear you anymore
...
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotised, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
...
A slip noose hangin' in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
...
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
...
So save your strength, and run the field you play alone
Much prefer my lyrics
