AMY
Elton John
Honky Chateau (1972)
Tread on my face if you like little lady
Turn me inside out if you have to baby
But don't you cross me off your list
I am young and I ain't never been kissed
Never been kissed by a lady called Amy
You're far out, you're fab and insane
A woman of the world, it's quite plain
My dad told me Amy's your name
Said he'd break my neck if I played your game
But he can bust my neck `cause I love you all the same
Amy I know you don't have to show your affection
`Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection
So if you don't want me around
I think I'll run along and drown
You can't want this bum in town Amy
I'm beaten on the streets `cause I loves you
I watch you go to work in the summer
I don't whistle at you down the street
I would if I could but I can't whistle you see
Amy I may not be James Dean
Amy I may not be nineteen
And I may still be in romper boots and jeans
But Amy you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

@chomsky88 A very good observation...

About once or twice a year for the last 40 years I've got this sound stuck in my head all day, I love it, beats the shit out of getting Humming Bird by Seals and Crofts stuck in there.

As brilliant as Elton's music is, Bernie's lyrics are top notch!

This is by far Elton Johns Best album....... Every song is Great !!!!! I cant say that about any other album he had.

"...said he'd break my neck if I played your game." Awesome!

From Tumbleweed Connection to Yellow Brick Road was an absolutely amazing period of creativity for Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Then drugs started to change things. But, even though he turned out hits and continued to write brilliantly(e.g. the Broadway success of Billy Eliot) afterwards this is the period when his creative flame burned the brightest.
