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 go 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
