Idol — текст песни (Elton John)

He was a light star
Tripping on a high wire
Bulldog stubborn, born uneven
A classless creature, a man for all seasons
But don`t bet them
They can`t take him
To the very bottom
Because they made him and they`ll waste him
And I don`t believe that I want to watch them

`Cause the fifties shifted out of gear
He was an idol then, now he`s an idol here
But his face has changed, he`s not the same no more
And I have to say that I like the way his music sounded before

He was tight-assed
Walking on broken glass
Highly prized in the wallet size
The number one crush in a schoolgirl`s eyes
But don`t pretend that it won`t end
In the depth of your despair
You went from lame suits right down to tennis shoes
To peanuts from the lion`s share
