Someone Saved My Life was off the Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy album
The song was about his upcoming wedding, To a woman.
But he decided he was a butterfly and, ya know, butterflies have to be free to fly,
So he shined the wedding on and wrote ‘Please Let Your Son Go Down On Me.’
All these years you have drawn inspiration from Elton’s decision to lead a debauched life as a flaming homo? Don’t feel bad. I thought Jimi Hendrix sang ‘scuse me, while I kiss this guy’.
Son? Here are some of the lyrics to that beautiful song:
Don’t let the sun go down on me
Although I searched myself, it’s always someone else I see
I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
