There is no Elton John song that has the word "carpetbagger" in it. However, a song named "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters Part Two" [from Reg Strikes Back, 1988] has a line that goes, "I just looked beyond the bagman", which may sounds similar in the way that he has pronounced the words in the song.
Elton John in 1976.
It is about a very dear and possibly un-returned special friendship between two people. It is definitely a love song- but oddly does not once use the word (Love). one of Elton"s softer sounds. In some ways comparable to ( Daniel) but without the homosexual plot-line.

The song, generally known as ( Your Song) is by Elton John... Love, this is My Song- however is a different ballad- by a number of mainly female artists- The song was originally written in French, yes it was sung by Petula Clark. There are two different songs. Oddly- Your Song ( Elton John) is all about Love- but does not once utter the word Love!. Love is mentioned in the Petula Clark song- which was the theme song of the movie- A Countess from Hong Kong. Follow the lyrics closely it seems to be closer in spirit to a well-known Russian lass of the Past! ( I care not what the World may say- may refer to the newspaper! Controlled by James Gordon Bennett- in the US- The World- in Paris- Le monde. Good song.

It's Sorry seems to be the hardest word.

Here is a sentence, : When he was dubbed a knight, Elton John was ennobled by the queen.
Like scalawag and peckerwood, it is unknown who coined the post-Civil War term carpetbagger, but it came into common use and is still used occasionally. Some New Yorkers called Hilary Rodham-Clinton a carpetbagger when she ran for a US Senate seat in New York, which would make her something of a reverse carpetbagger.
