Elton John - Social Disease (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
My bulldog is barking in the backyard
Enough to raise a dead man from his grave
And I can't concentrate on what I'm doing
Disturbance going to crucify my days
And the days they get longer and longer
And the nighttime is a time of little use
For I just get ugly and older
I get juiced on Mateus and just hang loose
And I get bombed for breakfast in the morning
I get bombed for dinner time and tea
I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
I'm a genuine example of a social disease
My landlady lives in a caravan
Well that is when she isn't in my arms
And it seems I pay the rent in human kindness
But my liquor also helps to grease her palms
And the ladies are all getting wrinkles
And they're falling apart at the seams
Well I just get high on tequila
And see visions of vineyards in my dreams
Elton John - Social Disease (03:48)
Classic Elton John from the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Album.

Ray started on the violin, plays keys (he played the organ on Crocodile rock under the crock head as his live debut with the EJ Band! LOL) and turned to percussion as a steady gig. I'd give just about anything to have him in a band - as evidenced here, his power and musicianship can fill in for a band all by himself. GREAT POST!!!!
