Elton John - January (The Big Picture)
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album The Big Picture
Must have been the right month
Must have been a good time
Must have counted every cloud in the sky that night
Every single glass of wine
Must have learned some home truths
Sitting in that cool grass
Must have counted every blade in that emerald field
Every shooting star that passed
Should have had a talk with God
Sitting in the great unknown
Watching all the lovers in the world get together
Sitting in Heaven all alone
And we were love's knot after summer
Tied together in the dead of winter
Wrapped up with spring fever in the air
Bound together in the autumn
Every month means a little something
But January is the month that cares
Must have kissed you 'till I hurt you
Must have been a wild night
Must have rolled in the ashes at the break of day
Rag dolls in the morning light
Must have found a secret place
Hiding in our own world
Must have counted every smile on your sweet, sweet lips
Every single sound we heard
Other songs this artist Elton John (910):
A Step Too Far
Amneris Letter
Elaborate Lives
Enchantment Passing Through
How I Know You

| One of my favorite EJ songs mainly due to the fantastic bass work by the late Dee Murray. Too many musicians look to fill songs with clever little licks. Dee's approach was to create space in a tune, only comming when necessary with simple melodic riffs that helped set the mood for the song. A great talent sadly missed. |

| Reginald Dwight (Elton's real name), David Bowie, George O'Dowd, Roland Olazabal, Danny Elfman. Nerdy, odd, little, hiding-in-the-closet, music department schoolboys all. Look them up and see who they became. Arguably some of the =very= greatest composers and performers of all time. |

| Taupin's lyrics are sometimes just plain odd, but "A runnin' gun youngster in a sad, restless age" is a very good line which pretty much sums up the era of Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, and the fictional Danny Bailey. |
