full of nasty habits




The 1970s had so much music pouring through them, it was like a "wildcat gusher" or whatever they call it in the oil business....  Elton John produced a string of pop/rock hits -- besides singing, he was songwriting, piano-playing, and wearing glasses like perhaps nobody else before or since.



Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Philadelphia Freedom

The Bitch Is Back

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Crocodile Rock
Honky Cat
Levon
Tiny Dancer

President Trump's go-to North Korea reference, "Rocket Man"

Candle In The Wind
Island Girl
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,

and more.    He sang a part on Neil Sedaka's song, "Bad Blood" (you let a woman like that treat you like -- small change!)...


The precision and furious energy of his performance marked Elton John as a charismatic star, and his almost Dylan-like tsunami of songs declared the artist's clout in culture-shaping.



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
Because I'm better than you 
It's the way that I  move
The things that I do, ohoh - woh


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

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, ohoh -- oh...

the bitch is back, elton john, you tube

Scroll down, and there's a blue rectangle that gives you the lyrics on the screen, for this song;

Play (!)
