Elton John Song Quotations

I'm not everybody's cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I'm a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don't like it, fair enough. But give me a break.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything.

When I say I don't have to write pop songs anymore, there's no way I'm going to get on the radio at 60 years of age unless I'm doing a duet with Gaga or I was on 'All of the Lights,' which was a Kanye West record that managed to get on the radio.

I can't think of anything until I've got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head.

I saw you dancing out the ocean Running fast along the sand A spirit born of earth and water Fire flying from your hands

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen.

It's so easy to write songs about misery and hard times and sadness. It's much more difficult to write songs about happy and chirpy stuff.

I just sit there and make up songs and sing to [my son] in gibberish. I'm very good at gibberish now.

It turned out so well because it was the first album that I could identify with in terms of lyrics. ("Captain Fantastic") It was passionate...I could associate myself with every song...It's a unique album in our history. This was the story of us..."Curtains", the lyrics to that are so beautiful because it sums up our friendship so much, and our relationship.

It seems to me, sorry seems to be the hardest word.
