    Elton John's 3rd album Madman Across the Water contains nine tracks, each composed and performed by John and with lyrics written by songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. “Madman Across the Water” is the story of a man presumably in a mental institution on the shores of a body of water, a man who may, or may not, really belong there. When the patient says, “Take my word, I'm a madman don't you know,” he's either confirming his insanity or is making a tongue-in-cheek statement. Either way I really like the songs message.

      And the line "Better get your coat dear, looks like rain" isn't about literal rain... It's about ending the visit because the 'madman' is going to start crying.

    Madman Across The Water was released way back in 1971; it's considered part of Elton John's classic era and arguably one of his
    very best. Your commentary is consistently among the very best on RUclips Reactions.

    "Madman Across The Water"
    I can see very well
    There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
    And I can see it very well
    There's a joke and I know it very well
    It's one of those that I told you long ago
    Take my word I'm a madman, don't you know
    Once a fool had a good part in the play
    If it's so would I still be here today
    It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
    They think it's very funny everything I say
    Get a load of him, he's so insane
    You better get your coat dear
    It looks like rain, yeah
    We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
    The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
    But is it in your conscience that you're after
    Another glimpse of the madman across the water
    I can see very well
    There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
    And I can see it very well
    There's a joke and I know it very well
    It's one of those that I told you long ago
    Take my word I'm a madman, don't you know
    The ground's a long way down but I need more
    Is the nightmare really black
    Or are the windows painted
    Will they come again next week
    Can my mind really take it
    We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
    The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon
    But is it in your conscience that you're after
    Another glimpse of a madman across the water

    The very best of Elton John is 1971 - 1975.
    The release of Madman Across the Water in 1971 was the first, full work and partnership (which expands decades), of Elton John & Bernie Taupin. To follow are Albums: Tumbleweed Connection and Honky Chateau.
    All 3 are must hear Albums in full! Madman will forever be my personal favorite. Thank you!
