Nobody wins - Elton John

'Nobody wins' was a track on Elton John's 1981 album 'The fox'. The album was recorded partly during sessions for Elton's previous album '21 at 33' (1980). The track was not written as usual by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, but by Jean-Paul Dreau and Gary Osborne.

The single was a modest hit, reaching number 42 in the UK and number 31 in the Netherlands. Elton John actually said during a concert at Leeds Castle in 1999 that the album "went 'cardboard' in England", a sarcastic remark on how badly it had been received there.
