Better Off Dead Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jonnyspecky 

Cover art for Better Off Dead lyrics by Elton John

This song is a catchy one, and just a description of street scenes (maybe Bernie looking out of the window?). 'Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire' suggests a writing energy, 'thorn of a rose' maybe refers to the pain of love songs, but they are coming out of is pen thick and fast!!
