01. IF IT WASN’T FOR BAD
Written by: Leon Russell

I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn’t quite right
Looked like an innocent stranger
Something was just out of sight

How could I know that you would use me
Fill out some plan of your own
I couldn’t know you’d abuse me
Leave me here hurt and alone

If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy
If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true
I know that you could be just like you should
If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good

I only saw what I wanted to see
You were a dream in my mind
I didn’t know how you really could be
It didn’t take long for me to find

I guess that it’s my fault for seeing
Only what I wanted to see
I couldn’t know you would be
A player just acting for me

If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy
If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true
I know you could be just like you should
If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good

I knew from the first night I met you
Something just wasn’t quite right
Looked like an innocent stranger
Something was just out of sight

If it wasn’t for you I’d be happy
If it wasn’t for lies you’d be true
I know you could be just like you should
If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good

If it wasn’t for bad you’d be good
02. EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR SHOES
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
If it was love and I was there I’ve forgotten where it lives
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge

You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowin’
Reaping the rewards of the fable you’d been sowing
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air

Yea I’ve seen your movie
And I read it in your book
The truth just flew off every page
Your songs have all the hooks
You’re seven wonders rolled in one
You shifted gear to cruise
Oh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
Your cloak and dagger legacy’s gone home to no man’s land
The marquee lights are flickering your poster’s fading fast
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass

Yea I’ve seen your movie
And I read it in your book
The truth just flew off every page
Your songs have all the hooks
You’re seven wonders rolled in one
You shifted gear to cruise
Oh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh you came to town in headlines
And eight hundred dollar shoes
03. HEY AHAB
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

It’s a constant struggle getting up that hill
There’s a change of guard every day
When you’re clinging onto a driftwood boat
You pray a great white whale might come your way

No freeway traffic in the frozen North
Just a chain link fence full of birds
And when the harpoon’s loaded in the cannon bay
You’ll be rolling through the pages lost for words

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale

In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
With a broken sun above the clouds
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down
And a sign on the wall saying, “Hope Allowed”

All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
A far cry from a tattooed rose
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind
We’ll all weigh anchor and it’s westward ho

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale
04. GONE TO SHILOH
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

Luther left us first light Friday morning
Little Dan and Becky waved goodbye
They’re gonna have to share the weight together
Idle hands will see a good farm slowly die

Gone to Shiloh/ For the Union
Shoulder to shoulder
Side by side
Gone to Shiloh
Hope springs eternal
When flags and bullets start to fly

April’s come and the air smells fresh with rain
They watched his shadow fade around the bend
He’s headed for a different kind of thunder
And the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men

Gone to Shiloh/ For the Union
Shoulder to shoulder
Side by side
Gone to Shiloh
Time passes slowly
When flags and bullets start to fly

The old black rooster sang him down that dirt road
His step seemed bold, his manner fancy-free
I pray we see him ‘live and well in the fall here
Than that god forsaken place in Tennessee

Gone to Shiloh/ For the Union
Shoulder to shoulder
Side by side
Gone to Shiloh
Men stand united
When flags and bullets start to fly

After all of this
If we should prevail
Heaven help the South
When Sherman comes their way

05. JIMMIE RODGERS’ DREAM
Written by: Elton John, Bernie Taupin & T Bone Burnett

I’m looking at a funeral wagon rollin’ down
A two-lane highway winding past a desert town
A big blue canvas painted by the Master’s hand
The shifting clouds above and endless miles of sand

In that mirror maybe that’s what’s left of me
Wheezing like a freight train hauling sixty tons of steel
Air ‘em out’s the best release and get some rest
Carrie don’t wait up for me the brakeman’s goin’ West

In this room all alone
I dream of you
In this drawer I found someone
I never knew
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian

I’ve seen dusty beaten delta boys cutting heads
A black face carney showman scare a song to death
In my short life I’ve seen as much as most men need
Now I’m just looking for some cleaner air to breathe

In this room all alone
I dream of you
In this drawer I found someone
I never knew
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian

Far away, far away
So many years, so many days
All along this broken land
I’ve seen a lover’s empty arms
And hunger’s empty hand

In this room all alone
I dream of you
In this drawer I found someone
I never knew
Now I pop a top and stay up late with Gideon
And fall asleep to visions of Meridian
06. THERE’S NO TOMORROW
Written by: Elton John, Leon Russell, T Bone Burnett & The Mighty Hannibal

There’s no time for waiting
No future to see
Inside the next moment
Nothing might be
The answer’s not certain
No time to decide
Is this the last curtain
There’s no place to hide

There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s only today

We all know the story
We’ve heard it before
We end up no question
Outside of death’s door
There’s no easy answer
To the question at hand
So easy to ask
And not understand

There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s only today

There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s no tomorrow
There’s only today

There’s only today

07. MONKEY SUIT
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

If you’re looking for the glory
You think that you might find
In a bullet-riddled stolen car
On a back road in the pines
If it’s round just like a medal
On a tired old man of war
Or hidden like that Burma Star
In my dad’s bottom drawer

Look at you in your monkey suit
Drivin’ south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit

Build your ladder to the moon
Beat on that sacred drum
Trample on the hands of those
That cling to every rung
Every seed you crush beneath
Like stone ground in a mill
You never drew a decent breath
But you’re just dressed to kill

Look at you in your monkey suit
Drivin’ south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit

Look at you in your monkey suit
Drivin’ south, nothing left to prove
You come back here in your cowboy boots
Dressed to kill in your monkey suit
Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit

Every pose you strike, every frame they shoot
Shows you dressed to kill in your monkey suit

08. THE BEST PART OF THE DAY
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

I hear you singing “I Shall Be Released”
Like a chainsaw running through a masterpiece
But that’s all right, that’s ok
Grab the bottle and slide my way
You dreamt of a devil down below
Sprinkled cayenne pepper in your sugar bowl
But he’s a fool and he’s a thief
Got silly little horns and pointed teeth

Roll back the covers and raise the shades
We don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day
You’re my best friend you shared my crazy ways
Now we don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day

There’s a canyon where an echo hangs
Like the ancient bells of Notre Dame
It’s beyond the hills out of sight
Thought I heard ‘em ringin’ all last night
Hear the mating call of the morning dove
Like Romeo angels in the roof above
Rains will come sweet and clean
Let the tears of God keep the mountains green

Roll back the covers and raise the shades
We don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day
You’re my best friend you shared my crazy ways
Now we don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day

One big sun coming up
Old moon going down
Thunder breaking in the east
I’m gonna love you ‘till it comes around

Roll back the covers and raise the shades
We don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day
You’re my best friend you shared my crazy ways
Now we don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day
You’re my best friend you shared my crazy ways
Now we don’t want to miss out on the best part of the day

9. A DREAM COME TRUE
Written by: Elton John & Leon Russell

I can hear your heart
Pounding in my ear
Now I feel the sound
And the time is near
I feel the taste
Of all the things you do
Now the time has come/ I know you’re a dream come true

You make me so complete
With the things you do
And the music’s sweet
You make me feel brand new
I hear the sound
Songs start coming through
Somehow I know/ That you’re a dream come true

It takes my breath/ When it sounds that way
Seems like you
Chase the clouds away
And I feel so good
Each and every day
And life is good
Each and every way

Now I feel the beat/ Of the dancing drums
And now I know we’re
Gonna have some fun
Now the time stands still
And the blues are through
And now I know/ What I’m gonna do

Now I feel the beat/ Of the dancing drums
And now I know we’re
Gonna have some fun
Now the time stands still
And all the blues are through
Now I know/ What I’m gonna do

It takes my breath/ When it sounds that way
And it seems like you
Chase the clouds away
And I feel so good
In each and every day
And life is good/ Each and every way
10. WHEN LOVE IS DYING
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

They say we/ Bruise too easily
I don’t know/ If it’s that way for me
I’ve seen ‘em come/ I’ve seen ‘em go
I’ve seen everyone I know
Fall in and out of love/ It’s just the way it goes

Word is out/ Silence seems so loud
There’s no light/
Above or below me now
I’ve seen it grow/ I’ve seen it live
I’ve seen everything I give
Falling out my hands/ No matter who I’m with

And nobody ever tells you
When love is dying/ When love is dying
It just gets a little colder
And we stop trying/ We stop trying/ Yea we stop trying
Oh when love is dying

There’s a pain/ You never can explain
Cuts so deep/ Time and time again
I felt it then/ I feel it now
But nobody told me how
To fight a world of hurt/ Somebody help me now

And nobody ever tells you
When love is dying/ When love is dying
It just gets a little colder
And we stop trying
We stop trying/ Yea we stop trying
Oh when love is dying

But love never gets to show you
And I never got to know you
No we never stood a chance/ When love was dying
No and love never makes it easy
And I never got that feeling
No we never stood a chance
When love was dying

And nobody ever tells you
When love is dying/ When love is dying
It just gets a little colder
And we stop trying/ We stop trying
Yea we stop trying
Oh when love is dying/ Oh when love is dying
11. I SHOULD HAVE SENT ROSES
Written by: Bernie Taupin & Leon Russell

Are you standing outside?
Looking up at the sky
Cursing a wandering star
Well if I were you
I’d throw rocks at the moon
And I’d say, “Damn you wherever you are”

I don’t know where to start
This cage ‘round my heart
Locked up what I meant to say
What I felt all along the way
Just wondering how come
I couldn’t take your breath away?

‘Cause I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn’t know how to love you
Though I loved you so much
And I should have sent roses
When you crossed my mind
For no other reason/ Than the fact you were mine

Looking back on my life
If fate should decide
To let me do it all over again
I’d build no more walls
I’d stay true and recall
The fragrance of you on the wind

You’ll do better than me
Someone who can see
Right from the start give you all that you need
And I’ll slip away
Knowing I’m half the man I should be

I never sent roses
I never did enough
I didn’t know how to love you
Though I loved you so much
And I should have sent roses
When you crossed my mind
For no other reason/ Than the fact you were mine

I should have sent roses/ Should have sent roses

12. HEARTS HAVE TURNED TO STONE
Written by: Leon Russell

I’m out here in the darkness
I hear the howling wind
Sometimes I sit and wonder
Will I ever see love again
Looking for an answer
Not an easy thing to find
Out here in the wilderness
With questions on my mind

Now the sun is rising/ Higher in the sky
The morning light is crawling
From the darkness of the night
The raindrops keep on falling
There is no light of day
The sadness deep inside me
Doesn’t seem to go away

And there’s no way out
No road home
I’m lost in doubt and I’m all alone
The time has come
When love is done
Hearts have finally turned to stone

No more bright tomorrow/ Only sad today
My heart is filled with sorrow
The pain won’t go away
Try to keep from crying
All night long and through the day
Lost and all alone
Hearts have finally turned to stone

No more bright tomorrow/ Only sad today
My heart is filled with sorrow
The pain won’t go away
Just try to keep from crying
All night long and through the day
Lost and all alone
Hearts have finally turned to stone






13. NEVER TOO OLD (TO HOLD SOMEBODY)
Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

Don’t abandon the light/ Don’t step away
Don’t give up that tune
That you never could play
If you’re folding your tent
And the gas pipes groan
If every bone rattles
Through nights all alone
Well you’re tougher than leather
No old burlap sack/ Not some hard scrabble weed
Growin’ up through the cracks

Don’t you know/ You’re never too old
Never too old/ To hold somebody
Don’t you know
You’re never too old
Never too old/ To hold somebody
You’re never too old/ To hold somebody

Don’t think you’ve gone out/ Don’t flicker and fade
If you’re gonna get lemons
Then do what they say
The wind makes you weary
Knocks you around
Logs on the fire
Beat sun shining down
But you’re harder than nails
No skinny old tack/ You’re still sharp as a razor
And I like you like that

Don’t you know/ You’re never too old
Never too old/ To hold somebody
Don’t you know/ You’re never too old
Never too old/ To hold somebody
You’re never too old/ To hold somebody

I could bet on a horse
But I’m betting on you
You’ve still got what it takes
You’ve got nothing to prove

You’re never too old/ Never too old
To hold somebody/ Don’t you know
You’re never too old
Never too old/ To hold somebody
You’re never too old/To hold somebody
Somebody/ Somebody
14. THE HANDS OF ANGELS
Written by: Leon Russell

Well I could have been sick
I could have died
I could have given up
And not tried
To make it to tomorrow
Like a broken hearted lover

But there was a brand new start
And suddenly I was taken
New and faraway places
And the music I was shaken

It was a whole new race
When I woke on that first day
There was nothing I could say
I was in the hands of angels

Johnny and the governor
Came and brought me to my senses
They made me feel just like a king
Made me lose all my bad defenses

And they knew all the places
I needed to go
All of the people
I needed to know
They knew who I needed
And who needed me
And who would come help me
And who would just let me be

I was in the hands of angels
Until this very day
Inside the hands of angels
What more can I say

When you’re in the hands of angels
Life is oh so sweet
And you feel the love
Down deep inside
Even out there on the street

In the hands of angels
