[Old School Hound]

I know I've mentioned this one before in other threads but it's good enough for a thread of its own. Mabe the best one-hit wonder of all-time. Probably the best song to cruise to of any song. In fact, great song to have all kinds of car fun while listening to it.

Who in the heck could possibly write a cool pop tune to these words? ELton John, that's who!!!!

It's party time for the guys in the tower of babel
Sodom meet Gomorrah,
Cain meet Abel
Have a ball y'all,
See the letches crawl
With the call girls under the table
Watch them dig their graves
'Cause Jesus don't save the guys
In the tower of Babel

Another Elton song that I always loved is one that many have probably never heard of. Great song. Great composition. Song relates how screwing up a relationship has made the screwer feel like a bullet ... a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford. Ford was the guy who murdered Jesse James in the house James shared with his wife and two kids in 1882.


Like a corn in a field, I cut you down
I threw the last punch too hard
After years of going steady, well, I thought that it was time
To throw in my hand for a new set of cards

And I can't take you dancing out on the weekend
I figured we'd painted too much of this town
And I tried not to look as I walked to my wagon
And I knew then, I'd lost what should have been found
You know that, I knew then I'd lost what should have been found

And I feel like a bullet in the gun of Robert Ford
I'm low as a paid assassin is
You know I'm cold as a hired sword
I'm so ashamed, can't we patch it up?
You know, I can't think straight no more
You make me feel like a bullet, honey, in the gun
In the gun of Robert Ford
