Elton John – Madman Across the Water Lyrics 18 years ago
I think this song is autobiographical. The Madman Across the Water is Elton John himself, being from the UK and making it big in the US.

Elton John is brilliant. Most of the time brilliant people are chastised and misunderstood, thus the lines, “They think it's very funny everything I say, Get a load of him, he's so insane.”

Undoubtedly he was probably chastised by his family, which is also typical of brilliant people. “You'd better get your coat dear, it looks like rain. We'll come again next Thursday afternoon. The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon….Will they come again next week, can my mind really take it?”
