All The Nasties
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Madman Across The Water
*This one is for all you lazy tubs out there
If it came to pass that they should ask
What could I tell them
Would they criticize behind my back
Maybe I should let them
Oh if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man
If they could face it
I could take it in their eyes
/
Oh I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows just fake it
If only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
/
Into a full-blooded city man
/
But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize
/
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes
G9sus4
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
/
Do do do do do do do do do do
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
