Elton John 挨告

一位伊利諾州的男子聲稱Elton John 1985年推出的的暢銷曲"Nikita,"抄襲自他早三年之前寫的歌，並向聯邦法庭提起訴訟，其實這首歌的歌詞是Elton John的老搭擋Bernie Taupin寫的，Elton John的發言人表示此事毫無根據，這人等了26年才提提告，原因竟然是1984年他搬到非洲去了。


"Nikita,"是1986年得過第7名的歌，背景合聲是George Michael。

Elton John是歷年暢銷歌星排行榜第3名的天王巨星，來過台北的搖滾樂手以他最有名，在足球場的演唱雖偶有飛機聲干擾，但傳神的歌聲令人難忘，脾氣很大的Elton還被媒体取個頗有趣的外號「強叔」，Elton John如果有機會再來台北，還值得再去聽。



Nikita

Elton John

(Elton John/Bernie Taupin)



Hey Nikita is it cold

In your little corner of the world

You could roll around the globe

And never find a warmer soul to know



Oh I saw you by the wall

Ten of your tin soldiers in a row

With eyes that looked like ice on fire

The human heart a captive in the snow



Chorus

Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home

I'll never know how good it feels to hold you

Nikita I need you so

Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time

Counting ten tin soldiers in a row

Oh no, Nikita you'll never know



Do you ever dream of me

Do you ever see the letters that I write

When you look up through the wire

Nikita do you count the stars at night



And if there comes a time

Guns and gates no longer hold you in

And if you're free to make a choice

Just look towards the west and find a friend



Chorus

Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home

I'll never know how good it feels to hold you

Nikita I need you so

Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time

Counting ten tin soldiers in a row

Oh no, Nikita you'l never know



repeat chorus
