First Episode at Hienton Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Leftside 

Cover art for First Episode at Hienton lyrics by Elton John

This is a song about first love, the loss of virginity and wistful memories when that first love has long passed. Valerie starts the song in schoolgirl clothes but becomes a woman as her 'thighs were the cushions'. However, 'seasons come and seasons go' thus we all grow older and 'now Valerie's a woman' no longer with her first love who tells her 'not to be sad where' she is for life moves on.
