And the House Fell Down Lyrics


The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on the other side of townOh, the TVs on and the color's really hurtin' my head
If I could think straight I'd wish that I was dead
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single threadAnd I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf, he came around
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed and the house fell downWith a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've put out the timeAnd still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf, he came around
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed and the house fell downSo don't knock on my door, don't try to call

I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
'Cause when you're high as this you think you know it all
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall, upon me galAnd I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf, he came around
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed and the house fell downAnd still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf, he came around
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed
He huffed and puffed, he huffed and puffed and the house fell down
And the house fell down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on 25 March 1947) is an immensely popular English singer, composer (mostly with lyricist Bernie Taupin) and pianist. In a career spanning five decades, Elton John has sold over 250 million records and has over fifty Top 40 hits, making him one of the most successful musicians of all time. His 1997 tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, "Candle In The Wind 1997," remains the world's biggest selling and fastest selling single of all time.

In 1964, Dwight and his friends formed a band called Bluesology. By day, he ran errands for a music publishing company; he divided his nights between solo gigs at a London hotel bar and working with Bluesology. By the mid-1960s, Bluesology was backing touring American soul and R&B musicians like The Isley Brothers, Major Lance, Billy Stewart, Doris Troy and Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles. In 1966, the band became musician Long John Baldry's supporting band and played 16 times at The Marquee Club.

John was one of the dominant commercial forces in the rock world during the 1970s, with a string of seven consecutive #1 records on the U.S. album charts, twenty-three Top 40 singles, sixty Top 10 hits, and six #1 hits. His success had a profound impact on popular music, and contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll.

Key musical elements in John's success included his melodic gifts matched with the contributions of his lyricist partner Bernie Taupin, his rich tenor and gospel-chorded piano, aggressive string arrangements, his flamboyant fashion sense and on-stage showmanship. As told by himself, his somewhat "flashy" outfits were due to the fact that he sits behind the piano and would otherwise vanish on stage.

John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and knighted in 1998. He has helped lead the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked John #49 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He continues to be a major public figure.
