lol my 6-year old niece is a big Elton fan...but she is definitely in love with Nigel. She like to put on headphones and play drums with pencils to videos like this...
How did this song come about? I'm imagining someone challenging someone to write a song about a random object, that happened to be a tinderbox haha. Perfect song though
please dont make it a big deal for his being a gay. he is nice person, very brilliant singer composer and a generous man, and that making him an inspiration to people. he is one of a kind. we love you sir elton! ( to those who misjudge him, hope you realize that elton contributes a lot of good deeds than bad. )
I just can't understand why people care about him being gay when for me, nothing more comes to my mind when I listen to this guy.. its just that amazing... stay still from the very start of this song 'till the very end, without thinking in nothing more.. believe me, you won't regret.
Nostradamus said I predict That the world will end at half past six What he didn't say was exactly when Was he listening to the radio? Was he listening to the government? Well he got us spooked anyway We'd been running hot up until today But a wind of change blew across our sales We were coasting on a winning streak We were kings until the power failed chorus: We've been living in a tinderbox And two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox Two sparks can set the whole thing off Rubbing up together around the clock Lately we've been getting more roll than rock You and me together in a tinderbox Godzilla came in disguise Tore the building down right before our eyes Kept the needle out of the red balloon Was he worried we might go too far Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June The sun descends down in Mexico While a fancy car back on Savile Row Shows the price of fame leads to overkill Things are gonna have to change Some holes along the road get filled [repeat chorus] Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it Guns going off if we don't uncock it We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket [repeat chorus]
One of his best in recent years.
This song is up there with all his classics. Absolute genius, Elton & Bernie.

Song was a metaphor. It's about Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin's relationship throughout the 70's and writer's block.
Nostradamus says "I predict Elton was the man"

Nostradamus said I predict
That the world will end at half past six
What he didn't say was exactly when
Was he listening to the radio?
Was he listening to the government?
Well he got us spooked anyway
We'd been running hot up until today
But a wind of change blew across our sales
We were coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed
chorus:
We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a tinderbox
Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right before our eyes
Kept the needle out of the red balloon
Was he worried we might go too far
Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June
The sun descends down in Mexico
While a fancy car back on Savile Row
Shows the price of fame leads to overkill
Things are gonna have to change
Some holes along the road get filled
[repeat chorus]
Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it
Guns going off if we don't uncock it
We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket
Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket
[repeat chorus]

We'd been running hot up until today
But a wind of change blew across our sails
We were coasting on a winning streak
We were kings until the power failed
We've been living in a tinderbox
And two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a Tinderbox
Tinderbox, two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a Tinderbox
Godzilla came in disguise
Tore the building down right before our eyes
Kept the needle out of the red balloon

Rubbing up together around the clock

You and me together in a Tinderbox
Tinderbox, two sparks can set the whole thing off
Rubbing up together around the clock
Lately we've been getting more roll than rock
You and me together in a Tinderbox
