Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE
(born Reginald Kenneth Dwight; 25 March 1947), is an English singer, pianist,
and composer. He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting
partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date. In
his five-decade career Elton John has sold more than 300 million records,
making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He has more than
fifty Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive No. 1 US albums, 58 Billboard Top
40 singles, 27 Top 10, four No. 2 and nine No. 1. For 31 consecutive years
(1970–2000) he had at least one song in the Billboard Hot 100. His tribute
single "Candle in the Wind 1997", re-penned in dedication to the late
Princess Diana, sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling
single in the history of the UK and US singles charts. He has also composed
music, produced records, and has occasionally acted in films. John owned Watford
Football Club from 1976 to 1987, and 1997 to 2002. He is an honorary Life
President of the club, and in 2014 had a stand named after him at the club's home
stadium.
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water
I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well
There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it.
