yyzsantabarbara, point well taken. The term I used "imported" could be misconstrued to mean the Beetles had taken a Christian song and made it into an idolatrous song. It never was Christian, though a great many people thought it was, and were shocked to learn that the backing lyrics shifted halfway through the song. :)
Wait- OMG! The song is really about...?
Elton John's High Flying Bird is a song about.... suicide??! Thought for years it was just another song about lost love. For whatever reason the full meaning of he lyrics didn't sink in until today on the drive in to work, "The white walls of your dressing room are stained scarlet red. You bled upon the cold stone like a young man... in the foreign field of death."
That song will never be the same for me again. Its much, much better now. Damn that Taupin was good.
