Elton John - Billy & The Kids lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1986<br><br>Nothing looks as bad<br>After staying up all night<br>And the cruel words that cut you down<br>I never meant to write<br>And what came out as anger<br>Oh was a lack of self control<br>Billy won't you hold me<br>Once before you go<br><br>Clever lies keep coming<br>Some men never change<br>I'm a hand that's raised in anger<br>The blow that causes pain<br>But I just can't be trusted<br>With a bottle and a child<br>Billy it's no wonder<br>You say I've never tried<br><br>Oh so leave me now<br>Oh don't turn around<br>It's the best thing you ever did<br>But it's hard for me to say goodbye<br>To billy and the kids
