| Elton John – Tiny Dancer Lyrics

Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to "Tiny Dancer" about his wife. She was literally the "seamstress" for Elton's band. She traveled with the band during this time. Therefore, the song is not about someone special in Elton's life, the song is about Bernie's life. |

In "Candle in the Wind," Marilyn Monroe is not the focus of the song. The song is more about the pitfalls of life in the public eye. This song, as stated by Bernie Taupin, can be about any public figure who is tormented by the pressures and the standards that the press and fans make him or her life up to. |

"The Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes" is not about Elton's remembering his youth. Rather, it is, as previously stated, a song about an American dancer with AIDS. The song describes the life of this man and the only joy in his life is the memory of his youth, specifically his dancing career. |
