Intro

Verse

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

 I should have stayed on the farm

 I should have listened to my old man

 You know you can't hold me forever

 I didn't sign up to you

 I'm not a present for your friends to open

 This boy's too young to be singing the blues

Chorus

 So goodbye yellow brick road

 Where the dogs of society howl

 You can't plant me in your penthouse

 I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods

Hunting the horny back toad

Oh I've finally decided my future lies

 Beyond the yellow brick road

Verse 2

What do you think you'll do now

 I bet that'll shoot down your plane

 It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics

 To get you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement

 There's plenty like me to be found

Mongrels who ain't got a penny

 Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

Chorus
