"All The Girls Love Alice" is a look into the gay lifestyle of England through the eyes and lyrics of Bernie Taupin, Elton John's songwriting partner. He made up the tragic story of a young lesbian who dies in the streets.
This song marked the first time Elton sang about a gay character, although it had nothing to do with him personally. The first time he sang from the perspective of a gay man was in 1981 on his track "Elton's Song," which had lyrics by Tom Robinson - a gay man.
Elton didn't try to obscure the subject matter of this song, saying it was "about a young girl who gets seduced by the naughty ladies."
