Elton John - Last To Arrive lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Never released<br><br>They're barring the doors at the back of the hall<br>It's cold in the winter, some freeze in the fall<br>The banquet's the supper that's set for the swine<br>If you're not at the gathering, and you've gone down the line<br><br>You're the last to arrive, you're the first one to leave<br>You don't give us the time, you don't drop us a line<br>Well a dime in the phone is the best way I know<br>You're the last to arrive, my friend you're the first one to go<br><br>The truck picks you up on your front porch at night<br>And you're back before sundown if you don't get blind<br>We're not chaining you down to your castle tonight<br>We're just trying to make you see some sort of light<br><br>They'll all drink your health out of pewter and wood<br>Get drunk in the hayloft playing dirty and good<br>There's ten pounds of oxen were skewered on spit<br>There'll not be an ounce if you don't make it quick
