Bad Side Of The Moon

On 11-17-70 (live) and Rare Masters. Covered and released first by the band Toe Fat, it was critically acclaimed in Elton's 1970 concert reviews. The overproduced studio recording appeared only as a B-side until its inclusion on Rare Masters. It is often confused with the similarly titled Pink Floyd album.

Lyrics:
It seems as though I've lived my life On the bad side of the moon To stir your dregs in sickness still Without the rustic spoon

Common people live with me Where the light has never shone And the hornets flock like hummingbirds To speak in a foreign tongue

I'm a light world away From the people who make me stay Sitting on the bad side of the moon

There ain't no need for watchdogs here To justify our ways We live our life in manacles The main cause of our stay

Exiled here from other worlds My sentence comes too soon Why should I be made to pay On the bad side of the moon
