| Elton John – Grey Seal Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Bernie (writer) says: "I haven't a clue what I was writing about. It was just images." The lyrics seem to recall his poor education as a child: ("I never learned why meteors were formed/I only farmed in schools that were so worn and torn) The speaker concludes that education is obtained without schooling. The grey seal is representing of an animal who is an expert on the world. |

| Elton John – Border Song Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Bernie (writer) claims that the song is about nothing in particular. Elton says that it's about how alienated Bernie felt in London at the time ("Brand of people who ain't my kind") and his desire to visit home as much as he could. *NOTE: Elton actually wrote the last verse of the song! |

| Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Of course the title is based on the Wizard of Oz movie. The song however, has to do with Bernie's finding what he wanted and being done with it. He was longing to return to the country and the simple life. Favorite line: "It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics" |

|
Indeed, about a teenage lesbian prostitute who couldn't score with any boys, but gets her business through married people who don't want their husbands to find out about their secret pleasure. Sadly, Alice dies. Favorite line: "One or two middle-aged dykes in a Go-Go" |

| Oh boy! The song is about an alcholic who humps his landlady and "pays the rent in human kindness." | |
