Songwriters: Elton John, Bernie Taupin

When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights
The curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna Lord you really should have been there
Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friends out there rollin' round the basement floor

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

Never realized the passin' hours of evenin' showers
A slip noose hangin' in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out played by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the mornin', damn it listen to me good
I'm sleepin' with myself tonight
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

And I would have walked head on to the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds, paying your H.P. demands forever
Comin' in the mornin' with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone

And someone saved my life tonight sugar bear
You almost had your hooks in me didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound, hypnotized, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved, someone saved, someone saved my life tonight

The friend who talked him out of the marriage was Long John Baldry. It was in 1969 when this all happened. They went out and got quite drunk when Elton told LJB waht he was going to do. Elton was not yet out of the closet but at that moment in time he started to come out, just a little. It was that little bit of "coming out" that prompted LJB to tell Elton that he was crazy for wanting to marry this woman. Not to mention what that marriage might have done to his career.

Does anyone know what H.P. demands forever refers to?
"clinging to my stocks and bonds, paying my HP demands forever?

Elton John's song of freedom from a relationship with a woman who claimed to be pregnant. He planned to marry her, and give less time to music, writing, playing and touring. An un-named friend (bernie?) Talked him into not giving up his life for the woman. He left her and found out that she was never pregnant after all.
