I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself

On Honky Chateau. Larry "Legs" Smith of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band tap-danced on the song. Originally, Elton's stepfather was to play the spoons.

Lyrics (Bernie Taupin):
I'm getting bored Being part of mankind There's not a lot to do no more This race is a waste of time

People rushing everywhere Swarming around like flies Think I'll buy a forty four Give them all a surprise

chorus:

Think I'm gonna kill myself Cause a little suicide Stick around for a couple of days What a scandal if I died

Yeah I'm gonna kill myself Get a little headline news I'd like to see what the papers say On the state of teenage blues

A rift in my family I can't use the car I gotta be in by ten o'clock Who do they think they are

I'd make an exception If you want to save my life Brigitte Bardot gotta come And see me every night

(repeat chorus)
