This song rocks! It's the most ass-kicking thing Elton ever recorded. My only bummer: I always thought the refrain said, "Girl, I'm gonna come on like a diesel train," and I thought that was such a great image, only to find those aren't the real words! I still sing it my way though.
BTW, for those who are non-Brits, "braces" are our "suspenders," not metal bands on her teeth.
Bracers and boots... she's wearing thigh high boots that leave her garters exposed. She's not wear over the shoulder suspenders like Mork or something.

@law4 In Britain braces are also those things that hold your trousers up, instead of wearing a belt. Which is what the girl in the song is wearing.

@law4 I always thought he was saying "britches and boots," more of an Americanism

@law4 She is wearing skin head trouser with braces and heavy boots, think Doc Martens.
