Elton John citáty

page 2

„Som presvedčený, že by bolo veľmi zaujímavým experimentom vypnúť internet na päť rokov a pozorovať, aké umenie by vznikalo.“

„Viac som sa hanbil za to, že som nevedel spustiť práčku ako za to, že som bral drogy.“

„Vždy som chcel niekomu rozbiť o hlavu gitaru. S klavírom to ale nejde.“

„Ježiš chcel, aby sme sa milovali a odpúšťali si. Neviem teda, prečo sme takí krutí.“

„Deti sú neskutočne dôležité. Oni sú budúcnosťou sveta.“

„Moja mama bola konzervatívna, ja som bol tiež. Keď som zistil, čo to znamená, rýchlo som zmenil svoj názor. Ako deti zvykneme napodobňovať našich rodičov.“

„Ak existuje v Anglicku lepší spevák ako Craig David, ja som potom Margaret Thatcher.“

„Neznášam záhradkárčenie, ale milujem záhrady.“

„Nemám nikoho, komu by som prenechal svoje peniaze. Som sám a baví ma míňať svoje peniaze.“

„Nikdy som si o sebe nemyslel, že som pekný či pohľadný alebo čokoľvek iné. Vždy som sa cítil ako outsider.“

„Nikdy by si nemal brať viac, ako dávaš.“

„Nikdy by som nemohol vyjsť na pódium v džínsoch.“

„Vždy som sa zaujímal skôr o tú umeleckú stránku života.“

„Najlepšia vec na rockenrole je tá, že niekto ako ja sa môže stať hviezdou.“

„Kritizovanie môže niekedy ublížiť. Buďte ohľaduplní. Som dobrý klavirista, viem dobre spievať, píšem dobré piesne. Ak sa vám to nepáči, fajn. Ale dajte mi pokoj.“

„Vravím, choďte von, bavte sa.“

„Ži pre každú sekundu, bez váhania.“

„Sláva priťahuje bláznov.“

„Najhoršia vec, ktorú môžete urobiť pre dieťa, je dať mu všetko.“

„Myslím, že všetci umelci sa predvádzajú, hlavne hudobníci. Bez toho, že by ste sa predvádzali, si vás nikto nevšimne.“

„Milujem každú minútu otcovstva. Byť celú noc hore, vymieňať plienky, zdá sa mi to všetko skutočne zábavné a inšpirujúce. Človeka to viaže k svetu úplne novým spôsobom.“

„Je to ako snažiť sa nájsť zlato v striebornej bani, ako piť whiskey z fľaše vína.“

„Šéfkuchári nie sú celebrity: sú to šéfkuchári.“

„Na svete je príliš veľa technológie.“

„Ľudia kvôli internetu už nechodia von, netrávia spolu čas, netvoria nové veci. Miesto toho sedia doma a nahrávajú svoje vlastné piesne, čo je niekedy OK, ale z dlhodobého hľadiska to pre umenie neznamená nič dobré.“

„Nestrieľajte, som len klavirista!“

“I used to think that New York City
Fell from grace with God.
And innocence abroad
Waged a war for the underdog.
When the snow falls
And Central Park looks like a Christmas card,
I just looked beyond the bagman
And the madness that makes this city hard.”

“Turn them on, turn them on,
Turn on those sad songs.
When all hope is gone,
Why don't you tune in and turn them on?They reach into your room,
Just feel their gentle touch.
When all hope is gone,
Sad songs say so much.”

“Blue jean baby, L. A. lady, seamstress for the band.
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man.
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand.
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand.”

“And it's no sacrifice,
Just a simple word.
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds.
But it's no sacrifice.
No sacrifice.
It's no sacrifice at all.”

“It's very important to have two tiaras when you're on the road, you never know when you'll be invited to something really formal.”

“The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other, creating stuff. Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but it doesn’t bode well for long-term artistic vision. It’s just a means to an end. We’re talking about things that are going to change the world and change the way people listen to music and that’s not going to happen with people blogging on the internet. I mean, get out there, communicate. Hopefully the next movement in music will tear down the internet. Let’s get out in the streets and march and protest instead of sitting at home and blogging. I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span. There’s too much technology available. I’m sure, as far as music goes, it would be much more interesting than it is today.”

“Well they're breaking down doors in foreign countries,
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something.
There's talk on the street and the nation is worried.
But you can't talk back when you're dead, when you're dead and buried.”

“Don't wish it away,
Don't look at it like it's forever.
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better.And while I'm away,
Dust out the demons inside.
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide.”

“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.”

“Cause I don't wanna go on with you like that,
Don't wanna be a feather in your cap.
I just wanna tell you honey I ain't mad,
But I don't wanna go on with you like that.”

“And I won't break and I won't bend,
But someday soon we'll sail away
To innocence and the bitter end.
And I won't break and I won't bend,
And with the last breath we ever take
We're gonna get back to the simple life again.”

“Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom.
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag.
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man.
Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had.Oh Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you.
Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind.
Shine a light, shine a light
Shine a light, won't you shine a light.
Philadelphia freedom I love you, yes I do.”

“I believe in love, it's all we got.
Love has no boundaries, no borders to cross.
Love is simple, hate breeds.
Those who think difference is the child of disease.
Father and son make love and guns,
Families together kill someone.
Without love, I believe in love.”

“Cause I never thought I'd lose.
I only thought I'd win.
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin.
I can't believe you love me.
I never thought you'd come.
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son.”

“Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone.
Take me to the pilot for control;
Take me to the pilot of your soul.”

“Island girl,
What you wanting with the white man's world?
Island girl,
Black boy want you in his island world.
He want to take you from the racket boss,
He want to save you but the cause is lost.”

“And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in.
And I would have liked to have known you,
But I was just a kid.
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did.”

“In the instant that you love someone,
In the second that the hammer hits,
Reality runs up your spine,
And the pieces finally fit.”

“And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear.
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear?
You nearly had me roped and tied,
Altar-bound, hypnotized.
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear,
You're a butterfly.
And butterflies are free to fly,
Fly away, high away, bye bye.”

“Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking,
When your feet just can't keep still.
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will.”

“What have I got to do to make you love me?
What have I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there?What do I do to make you want me?
What have I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
And sorry seems to be the hardest word.”

“Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady.
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak,
Living like a lusty flower, running through the grass for hours,
Rolling through the hay like a puppy child.”

“Holy Moses I have been deceived.
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave.
Won't you please excuse my frankness, but it's not my cup of tea.
Holy Moses I have been deceived.”

“You're the son of your father,
Try a little bit harder.
Do for me as he would do for you.
With blood and water bricks and mortar,
He built for you a home.
You're the son of your father,
So treat me as your own.”

“I never realised the passing hours of evening showers.
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams,
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene.
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen.
It's four o'clock in the morning,
Damn it listen to me good.
I'm sleeping with myself tonight,
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive.”

“Goodbye England's rose,
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart.You called out to our country,
And you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to Heaven,
And the stars spell out your name.And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind,
Never fading with the sunset,
When the rain set in.”

“And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home.
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man.”

“I remember when rock was young,
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones.
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own.
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock,
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock.”

“Sometimes when I'm flying over the Alps I think, 'that's like all the cocaine I sniffed.”
