Also, just a note - various published sources have claimed that "H.P" the 'Someone saved' lyrics mean this or that, but there's an interview with Taupin where he actually states that it didn't mean anything when he put it in the lyrics.
Just wanted to address that ahead of time. |

@[dtyler99:31766] Actually the line is "oh wouldn't it be wonderful is all I heard you say" so that part is still kind of ambiguous; it's likely a nod to something that isn't otherwise implicit in the lyrics (some of Taupin's songs are notorious for that; the line "Paying your H.P. demands forever" from 'Someone saved my Life Tonight' doesn't actually mean anything as per Taupin himself - he made it up/added it because he liked how it sounded, but the average person listening to the song has probably come up with more than a few imagined explanations of what 'H.P.' stood for. |
