艾尔顿·约翰于1947年3月25日出生于英国伦敦市郊,自幼学习钢琴课程。被誉为“英国乐坛常青树”。
从艾尔顿·约翰崛起到成名,这一段时间 里,正巧是流行音乐的一个转折时期,他的出现象征着摇滚乐向“视觉性与戏剧性”方向的发展,他是70年代最伟大的摇滚歌手,他舞台表演精湛,服装怪异,舞 台、灯光道具都是完全为满足人们视觉感受的。同时他又是一位不可多得的作曲家。别出心裁的编曲手法反映了70年代摇滚乐独特的气质,他在许多作品中大量运 用钢琴这一古典乐器,使作品高雅而又通俗,为摇滚乐开启了一个崭新的经验与感受世界,被喻为费城流行摇滚的最佳诠释者。

It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
It's no sacrifice at all
But it's no sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
