Elton John - Hymn 2000 lyrics

Written by elton john and bernie taupin<br>Available on the album empty sky<br><br>She chose the soft centre<br>And took it to bed with her mother<br>And the ideal confusion<br>Was just an illusion<br>To gain further news of her brother<br><br>And the comfort of mother<br>Was just an appeal for protection<br>For the cat from next door<br>Was found later at four<br>In surgical dissection<br><br>And I don't want to be<br>The son of any freak<br>Who for a chocolate centre<br>Can take you off the street<br><br>For soon they'll plough the desert<br>And God knows where I'll be<br>Collecting submarine numbers<br>On the main street of the sea<br><br>The vicar is thicker<br>And I just can't see through to him<br>For his cardinal sings<br>A collection of hymns<br>And a collection of coins is made after<br><br>And who wrote the bible<br>Was it judas or pilate<br>Well one cleans his hands<br>While the other one hangs<br>But still I continue to stand
