Subject: An Elton John Lyrics Quiz! (FINISHED!)

Written By: lebeiw15 on 09/06/03 at 09:34 p.m.

I'm quiz-happy, alright?  All of these lyrics come from songs performed by one of my favorite artists, Sir Elton John.  No limit!

1. Bobo Sweet deceit comes calling and negativity lands
Sacrifice

2. Bobo All the purple prose you bought from me
This Train Don't Stop There Anymore

3. Kenny We'll kill the fatted calf tonight so stick around
Bennie and the Jets

4. hannahbear Eat meat on Friday, that's all right
The B itch Is Back

5. Bobo Me, I carry too much baggage
I Want Love

6. Meriadoc I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
Bitter Fingers

7. hannahbear Well I quit those days and my redneck ways
Honky Cat

8. Meriadoc Until you've seen this trash can dream come true
Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

9. Indy You put the sparks to the flame
Don't Go Breaking My Heart

10. Billy It's four o'clock in the morning, damn it!
Someone Saved My Life Tonight

11. Indy If I was a sculptor, but then again... no
Your Song

12. Bobo There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

13. Kenny But they'll never kill the thrills we've got
Crocodile Rock

14. Ceramics Sniffin' for tidbits like you on the ground
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

15. Indy Don't wanna be the feather in your cap
I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That

16. Indy What do I do when lightning strikes me
Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

17. Ceramics Some others choose the good old family home
Philadelphia Freedom

18. Kenny Laughing like children
I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

19. hannahbear I need to tell you how you light up every second of the day
Something About The Way You Look Tonight

20. Ceramics Feeling like a little kid
I'm Still Standing

21. hannahbear The words she knows, the tune she hums
Tiny Dancer

22. hannahbear And the TV don't work and the French fries are cold
Holiday Inn

23. Meriadoc And fame was the price that you paid
Candle in the Wind

24. Ceramics And it's time like these when we all need to hear the radio
Sad Songs (Say So Much)

25. Kenny Don't give me none of your aggravation
Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)

Thanks for the BeatGreet cards... it's nice to see you keep in touch by sending me The Indigo Girls and Norah Jones.  It's appreciated. :P

And you can take the last lyric, no limit.
