Elton John - Idol lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album blue moves<br><br>He was a light star<br>Tripping on a high wire<br>Bulldog stubborn, born uneven<br>A classless creature, a man for all seasons<br>But don't bet them<br>They can't take him<br>To the very bottom<br>Because they made him and they'll waste him<br>And I don't believe that I want to watch them<br><br>`cause the fifties shifted out of gear<br>He was an idol then, now he's an idol here<br>But his face has changed, he's not the same no more<br>And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before<br><br>He was tight-assed<br>Walking on broken glass<br>Highly prized in the wallet size<br>The number one crush in a schoolgirl's eyes<br>But don't pretend that it won't end<br>In the depth of your despair<br>You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes<br>To peanuts from the lion's share
