"Love Lies Bleeding" — the hard rock follow-up to "Funeral for a Friend."
The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side
Everything about this house
Was born to grow and die
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
To this very day
You said I'm sorry honey
If I don't change the pace
I can't face another day
And love lies bleeding in my hand
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band
Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow

- From Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973). The relationship that is bleeding out — the love dying from a wound that isn't being treated. Elton John's hardest rock, his voice pushed to its most aggressive register.
