Also, just a note - various published sources have claimed that "H.P" the 'Someone saved' lyrics mean this or that, but there's an interview with Taupin where he actually states that it didn't mean anything when he put it in the lyrics.
@john d.106 I have heard/read over the decades that, in the UK, this was a reference to purchasing and paying later. In other words, a credit account a bit like today's world, although they didn't exist much back then. I do remember certain stores had "credit" where you'd pay a few dollars a month and a huge "extra." Just a guess on my part because... I'm old enough to remember some of this weird stuff. lol
