Music: Elton John
Lyrics: Bernie Taupin
Keyboards and vocals: Elton John
Bass: Romeo Williams
Drums: Jonathan Moffett
Keyboards: Guy Babylon, Fred Mandel
Guitar: Davey Johnstone
It's a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptation's strong
Into the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceit comes calling
And negativity lands
Cold cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passing through
And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it's no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It's no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We lose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns

4 stars, though I'd probably inch this up to 4.25. Good song, but doesn't move me as much as most of the album - I consider Sacrifice to be one of the lesser songs on SWTP. Of course, that's not too disparaging, since the album is a very consistently good to excellent record.

"Sacrifice" from SLEEPING WITH THE PAST:
A nice melody and expressive vocals from Elton makes this one shine. I first heard it at Saratoga Springs (New York) in the summer of 1989 before the album actually came out. To hear it solo - just Elton's voice & keyboard - was a treat and it showed the power of the song. The song worked upon first listen. I do love Sinead O'Connor's haunting version. The more bare and vulnerable the performance the better the song feels.
Rating: 5 stars
