"The Bitch Is Back" — the defiant declaration of the mid-1970s peak.
I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back
Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do
I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Caribou (1974). Written after Taupin's wife said of Elton John's touring persona: "the bitch is back." The phrase became his own — the demanding, imperious, perfectly dressed star acknowledging what he had become.
