Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Live From "Midsummer Music" At Wembley Stadium / 1975

When I think of those East End lights

Muggy nights

The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs

Prima Donna, Lord, you really should have been there

Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair

And it's one more beer

And I don't hear you anymore

We've all gone crazy lately

My friend's out there

Rolling 'round the basement floor

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me

Didn't you dear

You almost had me roped and tied

Altar-bound, hypnotized

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

You're a butterfly

And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realized the passing hours

Of evening showers

A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams

I'm strangled by your haunted social scene

Just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen

Oh it's four o'clock in the morning

Damn it

Listen to me good

I'm sleeping with myself tonight

Saved in time, thank God my music is still alive

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me

Didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar-bound, hypnotized

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

You're a butterfly

And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

And I could have walked head on

Into the deep end of the river

Clinging to your stocks and bonds

Paying your H.P. demands forever

They're coming in the morning

With a truck to take me home

Someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

Someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

Someone saved my life tonight

So save your strength

And run the field you play alone

Someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear

You almost had your hooks in me

Didn't you dear

You nearly had me roped and tied

Altar-bound, hypnotized

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear

You're a butterfly

And butterflies are free to fly

Fly away, high away, bye bye

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

(Someone saved my life tonight)

(Someone saved my life tonight)

(Someone saved my life tonight)

(Someone saved my life tonight)
