Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight Lyrics
When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
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
I never realized 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
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
They're coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

Elton John Someone Saved My Life Tonight Comments
Sadly beautiful
A timeless classic , wonderful.
La música es el complemento de la vida
My favorite song from Sir Elton John. Always thought it didn't get the recognition it deserved.
his music is still alive
Elton John has saved lives with this song Epic and brilliant...Hits hime everytime I hear it...
“Sitting like a Princess purched in her electric chair”
"Someone shaved my wife tonight"
Who's listening in 2020?!
OMFG!!
Playing this on a night shift ...
*"It's four o'clock in the morning, damnit, listen to me good..."*
I look up at the clock, and it's 4am!!!
My all time favorite.... sugar bear
Without the drums, this would just be another good Elton Johnson song. Instead with the drums accenting, it's a superb one!
When music was good!
Awesome song . He is up there with Elvis . Immortal !!
“Sugar bear”. Love ya

MOTHER NATURE IS MOTHER NATURE I DIDNT MAKE THE RULES HE OR SHE UPSTAIRS DID?

One of the best songs ever.
Peter Sinfield too
This is a Paul McCarney tune from the Beatles yellow sub. Go fig.
There will never be such raw organic music like this, Beatles, Bowie, etc again.
Someone saved my life........
Never thought in 73/74 that I would still cherish this song. Elton thank you for being a lifetime friend.2020
Elton john is always in my memories!!
Elton reckons that the seventies lasted forever his music will that's for sure.
What a true treasure. I'm 57 and I've got my 14 year old son to appreciate the haunting beauty of this song and of the music of this man. Nothing today comes even close
I guess all those years dont mean a thing. I can't wait to count those rings. Chainsaw by the band perry
Do not forget that what goes around does indeed come back around. Gabrielle and
tom miller.
I am SO happy to say I grew up listening to Elton John in The San Fernando Valley in L.A.!!!!!!!!!!
What a duo Bernie Taupin and Elton John together they are magical just wish Bernie would get more credit for all those incredible lyrics ! As magical today as it was when it first came out...
Thank you
🥀Remarkable song🥀
I’m here from Pere Callahan
JULY 1980
My sister had this album and I would stare at the cover for hours on end. If you've never seen it up close, you are missing out . SO MANY odd and weird and fantastic things hidden in it.
I used to sneak down to basement of G2 with my cheapo cassette recorder to listen to this song when I was a fourth classman. Good times!
Thank God for friends and Texas!
I'm I the youngest one who listens to this I'm 34
Gf showed me this today. Shes 24
ELTON JOHN ~ BERNIE TAUPIN
"Altar-bound, hypnotised, sweet freedom whispered in my ear..."
I still remember the first time I heard Elton John. 1970 at summer camp " take me to the pilot" I said who is this? I listened to my transistor for days trying to hear it again. What a genius I quickly found out.
I'm 65 and a Beatle fan. Eltons so talented as others in that top class of music that changed my life. loved alot of music through the years. Glad i;m a live and, thank God for this journey. God Bless
Pere Callahan, anyone?
Thank you Reginald Dwight for being you.
*2020!*
I love Elton, and this song is in the Stephen King Dark Tower books, perfectly fits
WOW!!!! not heard that sinc i was a kid around 10 years old ,,now 59 and rememberd almost every word

Wake up children.
We had this on a 45 record. My brothers were big fans of Elton. So glad to have grown up with this wonderful music.
this takes me to my youth every time. beautiful
Growing up as a teen with a father who lived like a rebel without a cause and hearing these soulful songs again are real meaningful and , many nights spent I spent chasing a feeling with my friends who were always searching for the next high, those years etched in the songs of Elton John , thank you Elton,
T Brown from Manchester, Mo . 70's? You out there ? Its B Lo

@Landon Lira
A queen dominating a queen?

Butterfly's are free to fly. love it
Thank God my music's still alive!
My copy of this album was stolen from my dorm room when I was in my Senior year of college.
Memories of wat once was..
When I think of those east end lights
Muggy nights
And the curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Pre Maddona lord you know you should of been there
Sitting like a princess perched in your electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rolling round the basement floor
Someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't ya dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Your a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away high away bye bye
Never realized the passing hours of evening showers
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dream
And strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out played by a dominating queen
It's four O'clock in the morning
Listen too me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time thank God my music's still alive
Someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't ya dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Your a butterfly and butterflies
Are free to fly
Fly away high away bye bye
I would of walked head on
To the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So take your friends and run the field
You lay low
Someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't ya dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Alter bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
Your a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away high away bye bye......
LOVED THIS FROM DAY ONE
My friends dad had 3 million now they are dead encoding Annette why.. FU James
Thank God my music's still alive.
Elton John forever. Forget this 2019/2020 stuff. Elton is timeless.
those romanovs'
Sadly, Elton John and others may go down with the British "royalty" along with corrupt Hollywood in the final conclusion of Sex-Gate! Prince Andrew leading the way!
David Sanchez I personally can't stand the Royal family, there a bunch of hob snobs that live off all the tax payers money ! Just because one is considered Royalty doesn't mean they have class, just today on the news I saw Prince Andrew walk right by Mike Pence as he shook everyone's had and walked right by our Vice President what a douche bag ! Harry and Megan made the right choice by leaving that crappy family lol....
@Ken Bray At least one source has commented that the Harry and Megan split with "the royals" in Britain is possibly a political move since Harry will be in a position to run for Prime Minister of Canada. If true, this will consolidate "the royals" control on world government once elected!
Fantastica composicion que forma parte del soundtrack de vida. Thank you so much Sir Elton.
1st album I ever bought for myself, lived in NYC, the Bronx, no one could understand why I loved Elton John’s music so much.. so glad I didn’t care what other people thought, still love his music....
Always been one of my favorites..
2:20... I bought The very best of 2cd for this song ! So delightfull !
Quite possibly history's greatest rock album. I've heard it at least 500 times and it just gets better and better.
Hamlet 2!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌
Those days...bring em back!
Meghan and Harry won't save Elton John!
I'd be honored if some Elton John fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LEVON and ROCKET MAN on my YT channel in tribute to 2 musical legends (Elton & Bernie). Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
