Elton John - Madman Across The Water (To Be Continued...")
I can see very well.
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well.
There's a joke and I know it very well,
It's one of those that I told you long ago.
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know.
Once a fool had a good part in the play,
If it's so would I still be here today?
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way,
They think it's very funny everything I say.
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You'd better get your coat dear
It looks like rain.
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon.
The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon.
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water.
I can see very well.
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well.
There's a joke and I know it very well,
It's one of those that I told you long ago.
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know.
We'll come again next Thursday afternoon.
The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon.
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water.
The ground's a long way down but I need more.
Is the nightmare black
Or are the windows painted?
Will they come again next week,
Can my mind really take it?

My first cousin and her husband gave me and my 2 bros and sister this album for Christmas one year. Soon after she lost her battle with cancer and died. She was so beautiful. Thanks for posting the album cover. It made me think of her again. RIP Connie McPeters Odom!

Have you heard Tumbleweed Connection? I believe it is better than this album, but this is his 2nd best. All the songs on both albums are great. He is one hell of a pianist, saw him in concert in '89 & he did alot of his old music. It was one of the best concerts I've been to, and I've seen alot of the greats live on stage! Saw the Stones 2 days after Elton in '89. It was 3 days of greatness! And it rained at the Stone's Steel Wheels Concert. Froze to death, but Elton was better.
