Elton John - Your Song (Top Of The Pops 1971)

This performance of ‘Your Song’ was Elton’s second appearance on Top Of The Pops, airing on January 14th 1971. This was just one week before the song became his first-ever entry on the UK Singles Chart. Taken from Elton’s eponymous second UK album, the now classic ballad peaked at #7 and spent 10 weeks inside the Top 40. This performance, recorded at the BBC Television Centre, features band members Nigel Olsson on drums and Dee Murray on bass.

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

If I was a sculptor,
but then again, no

Or a man who makes potions
in a travelling show

I know it's not much
but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song, yeah
and this one's for you

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

I sat on the roof
and kicked off the moss

Well, a few of the verses
well, they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind
while I wrote this song

It's for people like you
that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do

You see, I've forgotten
if they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is
what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen

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

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
