I can see by your eyes you must be lying
When you think I don't have a clue.
Baby you're crazy
If you think that you can fool me,
Because I've seen that movie too.
The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying love's just a four letter word.
Between forcing smiles, with the knives i their eyes,
Well their actions become so absurd.
So keep you auditions for somebody
Who hasn't got so much to lose.
'Cause you can tell by the lines I'm reciting,
That I've seen that movie too.

It's a habit I have, I don't get pushed around
Stop twinkling you star like you do.
I'm not the blue-print
For all of your B films,
Because I've seen that movie too.

It's our Reg Dwight from Pinner, life president of Watford FC, who singa rhe occasional song on the side :o)
Please, less Elton John. Especially this pop rubbish.
Still great.
What else is there to say?

I consider this the peak for EJ. Everything leading up to this is were gems everything after, not so much. If he never put out another LP after this one, he would still be held in high esteem. IHMO
another song that's lyrics floor me everytime.
The whole album is an absolute masterpiece
Really good cut from this album. There is some good material on it and there is some filler ("Jamaica Jerk-Off" and "Dirty Little Girl" among them), but this is an underappreciated gem, a beautiful break-up ballad that evokes a lot of cinematic imagery.

WOW!

My son (22 yrs old as I write) only knew recent EJ work which, let's face it, is poor. Then I played this to him and he was blown away. It's a 10 from me and my son.

Saw him in LA in the seventies at Dodger Stadium, Elton's songs have passed the test of time. Enjoyed the movie too.

What an album... full of gems!
The "smash hits" as well as the songwriter masterpieces (and fun songs like "Social Disease" or "Your sister can't twist")....

The backwards guitar solo though…wow.
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
IMHO this was the last of his great albums - I'm a fan of the early work from when it came out. I didn't know Leon Russell's work then but it certainly strikes a chord now, and immediately came to mind when I heard this starting up. The EJ/BT combination was exceptional. There has been good stuff since but it is the early tunes that are engrained in my psyche, tailing off with this album.
One of my all time favs of Elton, so good on a killer system with vinyl and the volume up...way up! I love the sound of the kit on this song!!

I agree... wholeheartedly! But, what is even MORE amazing, is his list of achievements, etc....this man is a living, breathing, walking phenom!!! Actually drew the Y.B.R. album cover when I was in high school!! Long live RP and, the art of this man! I'd challenge anyone to write, sing and play any of these songs in his portfolio...and we would all fail. As with any artist, dig into their B sides and the gold will always shine through. Love and aloha.

I've listened to him so many times that now I can't stand it anymore. I saw him a few years ago in concert and he can't sing anymore. He should retire. It was good in his time.

I class this as the end of my favourite phase of EJ/BT, and find this track overly ploddy, lacking the swing of the earlier albums. I agree that the first 2 tracks are stunning.A terrific songwriter, to be sure.
thanks for the perfect playlist... loves from Turkey
visceral.raw.affecting. makes you sit down on your lush shag rotting carpet and weep for the one you lost. this album is for weekends at the lake, alone, staring out into the glistening sunset of middle age. f**king gorgeous.

Always surprised when folk say Yellowbrick Road was Eltons last good album. Captain Fantastic is one of the greatest love stories ever told with Bernie at his peak lyrically and Elton nailing it musically. The "30 years later" follow up, 'The Captain and The Kid' is almost as good - with remarkably candid lyrics (the drugs, the boys) and stellar musicinship. Highly recommended if you don't know it and like early Elton.
Thank you-great suggestions! I was JUST wondering how to knit the raw, visceral talent in this album with something newer. This double album is a masterpiece.
I simply love this tune!

Like most who were in their teens when this came out, I quite like this album. But this track is a 46-year old sleeper hit for me.
Wow! I forgot that Elton John used to not suck.

Not an Elton's fan, but this song is really good. 7 or 8...I'm doubt

The album for me was life-changing, a true album that needed to be played in order. And the way the drums were captured and the overall Gus Dudgeon production set a high bar. This album came out the same time as Aladdin Sane, Houses of the Holy, Quadrophenia and Dark Side of the Moon. What a year to be a 12 year old kid in Kansas....mind-expanding.

Elton John performed a concert here, which was one of the best I ever attended. He played and sang for a couple hours non-stop, the sound was just right and overall great. He really gave ones money's worth! This was among my favorites.
Amazing that Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for this - and the other songs on the album - when he was only 22. And in only three weeks! And Elton John took only three days to write the music. Over 40 years later, this song is still a classic.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
...... has to be 9. Outstanding.
Epic. If there's anyone writing music like this today, send them my way. (Come to think of it, that's pretty much what I rely on RP for.)
Looking forward to seeing Elton live for the first time when he plays in Tel Aviv this week. I know he may be past his best, but it's a bucket list kinda gig for me.

This song is the best one on the album—-an unrecognized CLASSIC; a standard. It has aged like a fine oak cask of red wine, far better than a lot of the other tracks from Elton's trilogy of LP's he recorded in France.

I recommend revisiting Capn Fantastic. It's always been my favorite album of his - I think it's stronger than this one. On Elvis Costello's Spectacle show, EJ talked about it being his most cohesive piece of work.

Next showing : I too can stumble.
Truly a transitional period for most of us, and The World... I remember songs from this album coming over the radio while I lay sick in bed with a fever reading Ray Bradbury's mind-blowing fiction. My favorite album of his was Captain Fantastic, but this was a landmark.
a lot of good memories from a lot of the comments of the posters
for me bad memories, I worked the midnight shift at a convienance store in 1973/74 and they played this album a lot on the radio
I like the album but not the memories it brings back

Yellow Brick Road: A classic and seminal work. This tune isn't the best on that album IMHO, but still representative of the great song-writing on it.
I don't think Elton John was ever the same after Dee Murray. His later music never had the same depth of sound without a strong bassist. RIP Dee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dee_Murray

Nothing gives me teenage-hood flashbacks like listening to the good old elton john/bernie taupin songs. Captain Fantastic - I swear I wore that one out on the record player. I remember mom yelling to turn it down and I would walk over to the stereo and turn it up - way up! Elton - you "saved my life" and got me through those awkward years.

As a kid in the 70s, I listened to all my parents' albums, this one included, on their head phones lol! Now, my Dad doesn't care for any of them, and I still love them.
Love the piano and that backwards guitar! A great album track from one of the truly GREAT pop albums.
It's interesting reading some of these comments; I own all Elton's albums through Captain fantastic, but I found that album to be a considerably inferior to his earlier albums. I have liked many individual songs off subsequent albums, but not the albums as a whole. Yellow Brick Road was his last great album IMO. His first album, which I bought in the PX at Ft Dix, NJ in early 1971, remains my favorite.

Wow. Never get tired of this one...

I've had this in my home CD player for the past few months... give it a spin about once a week. I wore it out when I was a kid, didn't listen to it for decades but still love it. I think EJ said it was his favorite piece of work (on that Sundance/Elvis C series). How many times I stared at that cover....

Very nice. He was the first artist I dug as a wee lad growing up in the south in the mid-70's; so the best stuff then was of course this album, and, even more and unquestionably to me, Captain Fantastic, my first music buy (on 8-track, baby!). As a (hopefully) wiser and more seasoned soul, his early, more folky and honky based stuff appeals the more (think Elton songs played during Almost Famous). Had a fit at 11 when Mom wouldn't let me go see him in Greensboro in 76. One of the greats! We need more piano music out there.

Agree, his music drags on, it all sounds the same, also because of the boring production.
