i love this song, i think its one of my favorite elton johns songs. but just for the beat. to me it seems so dark though, like the beat sounds like marching, or guns or somthing,,, so when i heard this song i always pictured a scene with a lot of viloence like a war or a riot. is this song refrencing somthing in history cause i probably wouldn't know.
