Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, as a twinless twin, and when he was 13 years old, he and his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. He was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.

    Elvis

    by: Oblivion Dust

    Slowdown, gagged and bound
    You don't know what you've been taking
    No sound, dragged around
    You came down and you're still faking
    Slowdown, gagged and bound
    You don't know what you've been taking
    No sound, dragged around
    You came down......
    I found myself on the cold streets of Memphis
    Seventeen and looking for Elvis
    I tasted oblivion as it shot through the heart
    Tripped and crippled, torn apart
    Daddy's little junkie offspring
    I don't want what they be taking
    Here come the dreams and the vapour schemes
    Fun-time is real, but I know what it means
    This orchestra of thugs was never meant to be...more than static electricity
    Take me now
    Jimi can't help me now
    I found myself on the cold streets of London
    Never ever been so in need of someone
    Wasted and thin, shot full of hate
    Trapped and confused by the moods you create
    Here come machines with the take-away dreams
    Sometimes its real but it's not how it seems
    It's not the way it was ever meant to be
    Here come the dreams and the baby screams
    Fun-time is real but you know what it means
    This comedy of drugs was never meant for me
    Take me now
    Jimi can't help me now
    Here come the dreams and the vapour schemes
    Fun-time is real, but I know what it means
    It's not the way it was ever meant to be
    Here come machines with the take-away dreams
    Sometimes I feel like I know what it means
    This orchestra of thugs was never meant to be...more than static electricity
    Take me now
    Jimi can't help me now
    Believing I'm still dreaming I saw Elvis in Vegas
    Believing I'm still dreaming I saw Elvis in Vegas
    Believing I'm still dreaming I saw Elvis in Vegas
    Believing I'm still dreaming I saw Elvis...
    >>>Insanity on wings as your life falls away / Insanity on wings as your life falls away
    >> insanity on wings as your life falls away
    >insanity sings now
    >>i wish i was clearer / i wish i was lost
    i thought i was nearer /i guess that i 'm not /Funny how we all seem
    to get in-between her >>well i really was sinking
