| Elton John – Ticking Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
An old Vincent Price movie called 'Targets" inspired Bernie Taupin to write this excellent lyric. A model young man snaps and goes on a desperado shooting spree. The analogy is that he was a 'ticking' timebomb all along, and no one ever saw it coming. Sad but all too common. This is probably my favorite Elton song. One change, though (near the end) it's: "...you danced in death like a marionette" |
