Elton John - Saint Lyrics






You don't pass your time in limbo
Or hang out with the crowd
Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
Who took the wrong road into town
But you got that short cut way about you
And no one's gonna stare you down
You cook much better on a lower flame
You burn much better when the sun goes down

And heaven can wait
But you ought to be a saint
I got your very best intentions
Helping me along
And if I ever fail to mention
You were an overnight sensation
Well take it from me
My baby's a saint
My baby's a saint

I believe you were a new arrival
On the fast train passing through
And you traded in your luck for survival
To sweeten up the witch's brew
You had a better way of working magic
A little mystery in your eyes
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
You took the whole world by surprise

Elton John Saint Comments
  1. k.... ....

    Fantastic song off his best 80's album! such a shame he took such poor care of his voice back then, he could have retained that falsetto for much longer than he did.

  2. J.... K....

    One of the best Taupin/John songs ever

  3. A.... !....

    Lyrics of the 9th track of the album Too Low For Zero:

    [Verse 1]
    You don't pass your time in limbo
    Or hang out with the crowd
    Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
    Who took the wrong road into town
    But you got that short cut way about you
    And no one's going to stare you down
    You cook much better on a lower flame
    You burn much better when the sun goes down

    [Chorus]
    And heaven can wait
    But you ought to be a saint
    I got your very best intentions
    Helping me along
    And if I ever fail to mention
    You were an overnight sensation
    Well take it from me
    My baby's a saint [2x]

    [Verse 2]
    I believe you were a new arrival
    On the fast train passing through
    And you traded in your luck for survival
    To sweeten up the witch's brew
    You had a better way of working magic
    A little mystery in your eyes
    Instead of rolling over you remained the same
    You took the whole world by surprise

    [Chorus]
    And heaven can wait
    But you ought to be a saint
    I got your very best intentions
    Helping me along
    And if I ever fail to mention
    You were an overnight sensation
    Well take it from me
    My baby's a saint [2x]

    You don't pass your time in limbo
    Or hang out with the crowd
    Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
    Who took the wrong road into town
    But you got that short cut way about you
    And no one's gonna stare you down
    You cook much better on a lower flame
    You burn much better when the sun goes down

    And heaven can wait
    But you ought to be a saint
    I got your very best intentions
    Helping me along
    And if I ever fail to mention
    You were an overnight sensation
    Well take it from me
    My baby's a saint
    My baby's a saint

    I believe you were a new arrival
