The music is excellent! One small point in the lyrics, though: it's "great coat", not "grey coat".
A great coat is a long, heavy overcoat, worn in winter time. Great coats have been worn by soldiers of many nations for centuries. They are most often associated with the troops fighting on both sides in the two world wars. I suspect this was the image that Bernie Taupin was trying to evoke in his lyric.
