I'm Still Standing

"I'm Still Standing" is a song found on English Pianist Sir Elton Hercules John's 1983 album 'Too Low For Zero. ‘I’m Still Standing’ is the second single and song from Elton John’s ‘Too Low For Zero’. Russel Mulcahy, video director of the videoclip, told us ‘I Want My MTV!!!! Elton John’s ‘I’m Still Standing’ was super, super, super gay. There was no holding back. We shot in Nice, in the south of France. My costume designer was in charge of body-painting all the boys. We had leather boys, and mimes, and kissing clowns. Bruno Tonioli, who’s a judge of Dancing with the Stars, was one of our dancers. I think he played one of the traffic policemen dressed in leg warmers and a leotard.

[Verse 1] You could never know what it's like Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win? Well look at me, I'm a-coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing You just fade away [Chorus] Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind [Post-Chorus] I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) [Verse 2] Once, I never coulda hoped to win You starting down the road, leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now [Chorus] You know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind [Post-Chorus] I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid And I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind [Post-Chorus] I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) [Outro] I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah) I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
