" with a double-barrel name" hey it could have been worse my real name is Francis, the kids in elementary grade school, The manning in Jamacia Plain,ma. were very cruel no bully laws in my day. Thank God for the Navy they let me change it to Frank!!
bunch of tossers dont debate it just listen to it, its pure music if its got a message who gives a shit its a fan f*cki*gtasic song ( would have likes to see her and my wife at it though tee hee )
I don't read it as anti-lesbian, anti-gay, or anti-woman. It's sounds like a fairly accurate chronicle of being a teenage queer in the 60s and 70s. God knows I can identify, and my time was the 90s.
Elton John in the 1970's was his own genre of music!! Taupin/Elton up there with Lennon and McCartney for all time writing duo's! Their lyrics were insane!
Name 'public' below came when the only schools around were for royalty. 'Public' meant anyone could buy their way in. Sometimes it is hard to see prior advancements as advancements, they are so puny, but the impact of that was huge.
Talk about rockin'!

Remember Elton wrote the music not the lyrics...so all the social commentary from Goodbye Yellow Brick road is due to Bernie T.

I have never been able to decide whether it was anti-lesbian, or just too deep for me. Musically, it kicks ass, though...

@bckm54 It isn't anti-anything, but a common mistake. It's been accused of being anti many things, sadly.

This is one of the most underrated songs of all time, no doubt. Thanks for posting it!
