Wow, big surprise, another Elton John song-meaning where everyone plays the drug card. Hey, I've got you for you guys. Remember that old school song, Mary Had a Little Lamb? Well, turns out it isn't so innocent after all. "Whose fleece was white as snow (COCAINE!)" DEFINITELY a reference to coke. Also, lambs (sheep) were the animals from which it was discovered how to immunize an animal/human against diseases. They were injected with low doses of these diseases. Now, injections to immunize lambs, means this song is about Mary shooting up heroin by needle. Crack and Heroin abuse. The true meaning behind Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Wrong
In interviews, Taupin has said that the song's lyrics are a satire on the music industry of the 1970s. The greed and glitz of the early '70s music scene is portrayed by Taupin's words:
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around,
you're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound.

And don't forget The Farmer in the Dell. What was he doing in the dell? Making meth! That's why he was in the dell, away from prying eyes. And who doesn't know that Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is about opium crystals, concentrated from the star of the orient, the poppy! It is well known that addicts strung out on opium adopt a blank stare into the nighttime sky. The stars become blurred. "Like a diamond in the sky" indeed. London Bridge is Falling Down? What do you suppose they were...

What do you suppose they were doing under the bridge? Drugs! The song is about how society is "falling down, falling down" because of drugs. That's why we have to "take the key and lock her up"; i.e., pass more drug laws. And the Alphabet Song? A is for amphetimine, B is for barbituates, C is for crack, D is for dust (as in angel dust)... Well, I could go on, but the point is there isn't an addictive drug known to man that doesn't start with one of those 26 letters.
Why look to the obvious meaning of the lyrics, the intent of the author, and responsible principles of interpretation when we can import our own lazy meaning into the lyrics and deconstruct them without any regard to history, truth, meaning, or research.
