This raunchy melodramatic song was composed by Bernie Taupin (lyrics) and Elton John (music). It is part of the Elton John's 7th studio album entitled Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, released in 1974 and became no. 1 in US Billboard. The song paints a rather sad reality of sailors and prostitutes' bliss interactions, presumably at the port, where the sailors take a day off from their work at sea. It's made in a theatrical style, with simple yet engaging drum beats, and the colorful accordion and vibraphone. At the end of the song, the listener is brought to the port, with the seagulls and the waves, where you can almost smell the sea.
