Before we find world peace We gotta find peace and end the war in the streets My ghetto gospel Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands And the red sun sinks at last Into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior Without the sound of guns Lord, can you hear me speak? To pay the price of bein hellbound

I hardly think Im qualified To come across all sanctified I just dont cut it with the cherubim There again theyre on their knees Being worshipped is a breeze Which rather suits us in the interim (The interim, the interim, thats me and him Oh my god!) Its tough to be a god Tread where mortals have not trod Be deified when really youre a sham Be an object of devotion Be the subject of psalms Its a rather touching notion All those prayers and those salaams And who am I to bridle if Im forced to be an idol? If they say that Im a god thats what I am! Whats more, if we dont comply with the locals wishes I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed So lets be gods, the perks are great! El Dorado on a plate Local feeling should not be rebuffed Never rebuffed A-never rebuff a local feeling, no, my friend! Its tough to be a god But if you get the peoples nod Count your blessings Keep em sweet Thats our advice Be a symbol of perfection Be a legend, be a cult Take their praise, take the collection As the multitudes exalt Don a supernatural habit Wed be crazy not to grab it! So sign up two new gods for paradise Paradise!

I can see whats happening And they dont have a clue Theyll fall in love and heres the bottom line Our trios down to two The sweet caress of twilight Theres magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disasters in the air Can you feel the love tonight?

Impossible Shed turn away from me Hes holding back, hes hiding But what, I cant decide Why wont he be the king I know he is The king I see inside? Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things Can you feel the love tonight? You neednt look too far Stealing through the nights uncertainties Love is where they are And if he falls in love tonight It can be assumed His carefree days with us are history In short, our pal is doomed

In life, one has to face a huge assortment Of nauseating fads and good advice Theres health, and fitness, diet, and deportment And other pointless forms of sacrifice Conversation? Wit? I am a doubter Manners? Charm?

Anywhere So bring me all my finest Most audacious, my divinest Most revealing, most expensive and to boot Most arresting Most heartstopping Most free-flowing Most eye-popping Most arresting Most heartstopping, yeah Dress has always been my strongest suit! My strongest suit You know that I am what I wear Dress has always been my strongest suit!

As I awoke this evening With the smell of woodsmoke clinging Like a gentle cobweb hanging Upon a painted tepee Oh, I went to see my chieftain With my warlance and my woman For he told us that the yellow moon Would very soon be leaving This I cant believe I said I cant believe our Warlords dead Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones To the buzzards and the soldiers guns Oh, great father of the Iroquois Ever since I was young Ive read the writing of the smoke And breast-fed on the sound of drums Ive learned to hurl the tomahawk And ride a painted pony wild To run the gauntlet of the Sioux To make a chieftains daughter mine And now you ask that I should watch The red mans race be slowly crushed? What kind of words are these to hear From Yellow Dog, whom white man fears? I take only what is mine, Lord My pony, my squaw, and my child I cant stay to see you die Along with my tribes pride I go to search for the yellow moon And the fathers of our sons Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold And the healing waters run Trampling down the prairie rose Leaving hoof tracks in the sand Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead Hed been laying down his weapons When they filled him full of lead Now there seems no reason why I should carry on In this land that once was my land I cant find a home Its lonely and its quiet And the horse soldiers are coming And I think its time I strung my bow And ceased my senseless running For soon Ill find the yellow moon Along with my loved ones Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields Without the sound of guns And the red sun sinks at last Into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior Comes with a bullet hole

Captain Fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero Just someone his mother might know Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics Two teas both with sugar please, in the back of an alley While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer For its hay make and Hey mom Do the papers say anything good? Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys? Should I make my way out of my home in the woods? Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing City slick Captain Fantastic the feedback, the honey the hive could be holding For theres weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter Broken young children on the wheels of the winners And the 68 summer festival wallflowers are thinning For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change Weve thrown in the towel too many times Out for the count and when were down Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy From the end of the world to your town And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us Hmm, couldnt fool us For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire Hand in hand went music and the rhyme The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring From here on sonny sonny sonny, its a long and lonely climb For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change Weve thrown in the towel too many times Out for the count and when were down Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy From the end of the world to your town For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change Weve thrown in the towel too many times Out for the count and when were down Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy From the end of the world to your town Weve thrown in the towel too many times Out for the count and when were down Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy From the end of the world to your town

Ich seh’ es jetzt schon kommen. Was? Sie ist das A und O. Wo? Sie werden sich verlieben, glaub es mir Dann sind wir nur noch zwo. Oh! Die zärtliche Begegnung Ist wie ein Zauberbann Es ist ja so romantisch Aber das Desaster fängt erst an Kann es wirklich Liebe sein Im sanften Abendwind Die Harmonie Voll tiefer Friedlichkeit Mit allem was wir sind Wie soll ich’s ihr erklären? Ob sie es auch versteht? Sie will die Wahrheit, die Vergangenheit Wer weiß ob sie dann geht Was will er nur verbergen? Er tut’s die ganze Zeit Warum will er kein König sein Denn als König wär’ er frei Kann es wirklich Liebe sein Im sanften Abendwind Die Harmonie, voll tiefer Friedlichkeit Mit allem was wir sind Kann es wirklich Liebe sein? Spürst du sie überall? Endlich Eins Im Schutz der Dunkelheit Liebe ist erwacht Und wenn er sich heut nacht verliebt Kommen wir nicht drum rum Die schöne Zeit der Unbekümmertheit Ist um, mein Freund, wie duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum Uäääääääääh

Dataset Structure

An example of 'train' looks as follows.

This example was too long and was cropped:

{
    "text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}

'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:

from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np

datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/elton-john")

train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03

train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])

datasets = DatasetDict(
    {
        'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
        'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
        'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
