Elton John - Across the River Thames Good taste at times I‘ve sometimes lacked I won’t deny the truth I got dressed up as Donald Duck Making up for my repressed youth Disco balls and spandex pants On questionable friends Disco died but the fog still rolled across the River Thames
Snarling they just came along And cut us to the quick Called us a bunch of dinosaurs And give us a load of stick Told us that the times was changing And all good things must end But I’m still here and the fog still rolls across the River Thames
Nelson’s on his column Ravens are in the Tower Big Ben’s never lost his voice Chimes on every hour And the fog still rolls off the River Thames The forecast calls for a little rain London Bridge ain’t falling down And some things never change
The black-faced boys were holding tight And Thatcher’s in a noose Hair got teased beyond belief In the age of the golden goose The new romantics claimed the throne And we were wondering when But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River Thames
Big bold letters screaming out A scandal in the house Dogs without their vocal chords And careers going south What the eye can’t see the eye invents The truth was meant to bend But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River Thames
