Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a uk b-side in may, 1974 Ooh she said the croud just loved you My name's angel and i'm sixteen I really love your band and your funny accent Sure would like a cruise in your limousine Then she said how about a rubdown You're so cute, i'm so mean The way you hold your guitar really gets me I can show you tricks that you ain't never seen Sick city, nobody to love you Oh but sometimes i can taste you when i'm feeling weak Sick city, isn't it a pity That you can't float above it when the bottom leaks Oh, sick city Hey man how's about a handout All you dudes just loaded down Just a little sugar man makes me sweeter I like to sit at home and watch the world go round Stage-door monkey's on my back Begging me to save his life Can't he understand we're not a healing show We're just here to play some music for the kids tonight
