Planes Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

(demo song from 1975 recorded for Rod Stewart)

Oh Jessie I'd like to be
One of those men upon the screen
With American ladies and a cafe in Paris
Serving Pernot and Kalua with cream

You can see it I know
All the doors have been closed in my face
And the drinks at the cashbar
Run a mile or more from this place

And oh Jessie won't you look at the planes
Tell me, oh Jessie, is it true what theyElton John - Planes Elton John Bernie Taupin - http://motolyrics.com/elton-john/planes-elton-john-bernie-taupin-lyrics.html
That there's a capital G in the name of the game
And the runway's a home for my silver-red plane

And won't you look at the planes
Riding down the skyway
Jessie ain't those wings just fine
Don't it make you want to fly someday

Why friend am I so still
Tied to my job with time to kill
Do I still bear the traces of old Don Quixote
Killing giants on imaginary hills
