Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Blue MovesHe was a light starTripping on a high wireBulldog stubborn, born unevenA classless creature, a man for all seasonsBut don't bet themThey can't take himTo the very bottomBecause they made him and they'll waste himAnd I don't believe that I want to watch them`Cause the fifties shifted out of gearHe was an idol then, now he's an idol hereBut his face has changed, he's not the same no moreAnd I have to say that I like the way his music sounded beforeHe was tight-assedWalking on broken glassHighly prized in the wallet sizeThe number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyesBut don't pretend that it won't endIn the depth of your despairYou went from lame suits right down to tennis shoesTo peanuts from the lion's share
