Hymn 2000 Lyrics - Empty Sky - Elton John

Hymn 2000 

album Empty Sky 1969 

She chose the soft centre 

And took it to bed with her mother 

And the ideal confusion 

Was just an illusion 

To gain further news of her brother 

And the comfort of mother 

Was just an appeal for protection 

For the cat from next door 

Was found later at four 

In surgical dissection 

And I don't want to be 

The son of any freak 

Who for a chocolate centre 

Can take you off the street

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

For soon they'll plough the desert 

And God knows where I'll be 

Collecting submarine numbers 

On the main street of the sea 

The Vicar is thicker 

And I just can't see through to him 

For his cardinal sings 

A collection of hymns 

And a collection of coins 

Is made after 

And who wrote the Bible 

Was it Judas or Pilate 

Well one cleans his hands 

While the other one hangs 

But still I continue to stand 

And I don't want to be 

The son of any freak 

Who for a chocolate centre 

Can take you off the street 

For soon they'll plough the desert 

And God knows where I'll be 

Collecting submarine numbers 

On the main street of the sea
