Elton John - Sixteenth Century Man Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by tim riceFrom the soundtrack the road to el doradoOh its great to see our homelandBreathe the iberian atmosphereJust because we are hispanicDoesnt mean were oceanicQuite frankly weve had water up to hereWeve nade waves to last a lifetimeWeve been saturated, almost drownedWe are spanish not caribbeanWe are human, not amphibianWell seek our fortunes on spains solid groundTheres no future in the new worldOnly fools believe the talesOf the gold of el doradoOnly suckers set their sailsWe have seen the way the tide is turningWe see what no sailor canWe are in the ball, discerningWere anit-diluvianSixteenth century manTwo very fine examples ofSixteenth, sixteenth century manThere are women who are liningEvery avenue in every portNow at last well get to grips withThings they never equip ships withWe have sailed into our last resortTheres no goldmine in the new worldIts a trick to get recruitsOn the boat to el doradoWere returning to our rootsWere going back to land locked ladiesCortez never let them boardAll in all the point weve made isWe dont want to go abroadTwo very fine examples ofSixteenth century manTwo terra firma samples ofSixteenth, sixteenth century man
