All The Nasties Lyrics - Madman Across The Water - Elton John

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 

The tiny minds 

And sacred cows just fake it

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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 

Oh my soul, oh my soul, oh my soul 

Oh my soul, oh my soul, oh my soul 

Oh my soul, oh my soul, oh my soul
