This is definetly Elton John's song. He released it after all the hurtful(and untrue) allegations were released by The Sun, and numerous American record companies were cold towards him because of his homosexuality. This was his retaliation towards them.
Favourite line "And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away"
He's saying that all the petty people will be forgotten while he will be remembered forever and continue his career.
@musicmax It's a song written by Bernie Taupin, not by Elton John. I don't believe there is a feeling of professional revenge in it ; it's a love song, not a protest song...
