Elton John - Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters



My favourite of old reg's songs. In his early seventies heyday, what a voice he had. Plus this is a great lyric. Bernie Taupin had a hell of a lot of game back then. There's an emotional honesty that reminds me a lot of country music in some of Elton John's best songs. However he also gives a little enigmatic twist. And as a title, "Mona Lisa's and mad hatters" is pretty special.
