well, they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight
i’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right
i may use a little muscle to get what i need
i may sink a little drink and shout out “she’s with me!”

good show tonight, boys. you look like you know how to enjoy yourselves.

- where are you off to?
- don’t know. haven’t decided yet. but wherever it is, you’re not invited.

maybe all i do is play the piano, but you know what else i do? hmm? i pay, john. for everything. including this house, which i’d like you to leave now. you may still be my manager but you and me are finished.

oh, i’m getting the bill, am i?

john. elton john.

okay, guys, we’re gonna stop there.

now, shiela and fred’s boy is gonna sing us a couple of songs on the piano. reggie dwight!

what you looking at me for?

i haven’t been reggie dwight for years.

reggie… what you doing?

it’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside
i’m not one of those who can easily hide
i don’t have much money but boy, if i did
i’d buy a big house where we both could live

not too sure. written a lot of songs, haven’t we? enough for an album.

mum? my piano teacher thinks i’m good enough for a scholarship at the royal academy of music.

mum, i have fucked everything that moves. and i’ve taken every drug known to man. all of them. and do you know what? i’ve enjoyed every last minute of it.

everybody’s frightened at the beginning. you play at being confident. life gives you very few chances, reggie, and this is one of yours. you show ‘em that you can be as good as they are. better. number one. you can do that, can’t you?

you know they can’t hold you forever
i didn’t sign up for you

so what are your plans now… elton?

guess there are times like these
when we all need to share a little pain-

- what have you given up for me?
- your father… for a start.

la la la la la la
la la la la la
la la la la la

oh, don’t be silly.

and i guess that’s why they call it the blues
time on my-

but that’s my name.

i’m not having you moping around here all day.

she said i’ll never be loved.

oh, lawdy mama, those friday nights
when suzie wore her dresses tight
and the crocodile rocking was out of sight

and you can tell everybody this is your song
it may be quite simple but now that it’s done
i hope you don’t mind, i hope you don’t mind, that i put down in words
how wonderful life is while you’re in the world

you might have a good memory, and a good ear, but you’ve an awful lot of work to do. so wrists and back straight. let’s start with the c-major scale, both hands, two octaves.
