"And I've Been Knocking Most of the Day..."

I feel utterly stupid saying this, but I honestly have no idea what the lyrics of Elton John's Nikita are about.

Here they are. Someone please explain?

Ah, I'm so proud of myself for thinking of Khrushchev upon reading those lyrics.

Anyway, that's beside the point.

Perhaps Elton John was in love with (an unresponsive) someone named Nikita, and likened that person to Khrushchev in this song, partly because of their names. Thus the slashy bits. I nearly burst out laughing at the "I'll never know how good it feels to hold you / Nikita I need you so" part... ahh, after watching him rant like that... wonderfully great, all of it.

Right, that's all. Not a very useful comment, but that's fine.

*squeals* You're still here! Oh, I've missed you so much, 'Mise! *HUG*

Actually, that's a thought. And it would explain those pesky slashy bits, certainly.

Maybe Elton John just wrote the song to be sung from a woman's point of view... I suppose people have done that before, too. Heh.
