Amy

On Honky Chateau. Taupin touched on an early relationship with an older woman, who was involved with another. The same woman inspired "Bennie And The Jets."

Lyrics:
Tread on my face if you like little lady Turn me inside out if you have to baby But don't you cross me off your list I am young and I ain't never been kissed Never been kissed by a lady called Amy

You're far out, you're fab and insane A woman of the world, it's quite plain My dad told me Amy's your name Said he'd break my neck if I played your game But he can bust my neck 'cause I love you all the same

chorus:

Amy I know you don't have to show your affection 'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection So if you don't want me around I think I'll run along and drown You can't want this bum in town Amy

(repeat chorus)

I'm beaten on the streets 'cause I loves you I watch you go to work in the summer I don't whistle at you down the street I would if I could but I can't whistle you see

Amy I may not be James Dean Amy I may not be nineteen And I may still be in romper boots and jeans But ooh, Amy you're the girl that wrecks my dreams

Amy I may not be James Dean Amy I may not be nineteen And I may still be in romper boots and jeans But ooh, Amy you're the girl that wrecks my dreams
