Elton John -

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding (1976) Live at Earl's Court, London

Lyrics - Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die

It doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day

And love lies bleeding in my hand
It kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock-n-roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

A cool rift at the end there!

Reply #7299 - Jul 27^th, 2025 at 1:29pm I've been watching a British show on Netflix called 'Brassic' - very funny. Check it out. In one episode, they played a song in the background I hadn't heard before - I thought it might be an obscure Rob Zombie song, but it wasn't.
