I couldn’t stand up looking up at the faded party
I couldn’t stand up looking up at a faded party
It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
But it’s unsuitable to laugh like the others
Couldn’t stand up looking up, I’m at a faded party
I couldn’t stand up looking at, at a famous party
It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
And I don’t understand the way that you’re living
Because you’ve had bad luck (Disorder)
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck
You can’t open your eyes
You can’t open your eyes
It’s vain or is it just fame?
It was a mistake pageant
It was a mistake from the start
This is a mistake pageant
And I don’t understand this way that you’re living
Because you’ve had bad luck (Disorder)
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck
I hope that this won’t bring you down
These people are obscured by frowns
This won’t bring you down
These people, frown
Cause you’ve had bad luck (Disorder)
And I know what it feels like to have bad luck***THIS IS SIR ELTON JOHN***
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
(Chorus)
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
(Chorus)
