Agree with Jonny here.............TC is the best of EJ.

1."Ballad of a Well-Known Gun" – 4:59
2."Come Down in Time" – 3:25
3."Country Comfort" – 5:06
4."Son of Your Father" – 3:48
5."My Father's Gun" – 6:20
[edit] Side two1."Where to Now St. Peter?" – 4:11
2."Love Song" (Lesley Duncan) – 3:41
3."Amoreena" – 5:00
4."Talking Old Soldiers" – 4:06
5."Burn Down the Mission" – 6:22

Come Down In Time is excellent as well..........and Love Song.

I love "Funeral"...........EJ might have written the primary theme but.......
"The grandiose introduction to "Funeral For A Friend" was performed on A.R.P. synthesizer by the album's engineer, David Hentschel, who Elton recalled overdubbed track after track of music and synthetic atmospheric effects until the mini-opus was complete."
