Thread Name: ADD: Country Comfort (Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
Subject: RE: Brits: Explain pop lyric?-Country Comforts
Yes, there are a lot of things in the song that don't really work for either country. I think they just wrote it to sound good, rhyme and scan, and to give a general impression. I do think it's America that they are trying to portray though. Songs like this aren't really meant to be pulled to pieces like poetry. They don't stand up to it at all!
