Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,強叔Elton John在1972年發表的專輯,眾人公認是他最佳且最賣座的作品,專輯中的同名歌曲,更是老屁股們熟到爛的記憶。

奇怪的是,近來老是聽到、看到人們提起這首歌,或引申這首歌的意義,真有那麼多人覺得不如歸去,想要改變人生的路徑?

那就好好的來聽一聽吧。(不了解在講什麼的人可以先參考這個Yellow brick road)。



Lyrics
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
