ALL THE NASTIES
Elton John
Madman Across the Water (1971)
If it came to pass that they should ask
What could I tell them
Would they criticize behind my back
Maybe I should let them
Oh if only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man
If they could face it
I could take it in their eyes
Oh I know I'd make it
Their tiny minds
And sacred cows just fake it
If only then and only then
They would understand
They'd turn a full-blooded city boy
Into a full-blooded city man
But I know the way they want me
In the way they publicize
If they could turn their focus off
To the image in their eyes
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
Maybe it would help them, help them understand
That a full-blooded city boy
Is now a full-blooded city man
Oh my soul
Oh my soul
Oh my soul

So, what would you rather hear at the end? "Na, na na, na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude!" - "Hey Jude" by The Beatles (1968)? Or ... "Oh my soul! Oh my soul! Oh my soul!" - "All the Nasties" by Elton John (1971)12 years ago

I love this song. Its heart breaking. I should add that this was his response to the media, attacking him for his way of life. What would have happened if he had given up? We would have lost the most amazing music of all time.14 years ago
