No, it's not, he wanted something that smelled exotic
to him.
Plus he name-checked it all decades before in one of
his Bernie's more famous lyrics:
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the clit
Never knowing where to stick it
When the flood set inPS: This with all due respect to ole Reg and his buddy Bernie, they have collectively written some great songs - and I thought the biopic Rocket Man
much more substantial than the overrated Queen one. Those scenes where "Elton"/Taron Egerton sits in full stage regalia
in an AA type session at Betty Ford (and as he tells his tale his costume falls away one by one - first the feathers) were magnificent in their cinematic poetry.
PPS: All credit to Gwyneth, that candle was a smart move, sold like hot cakes, did no harm to anyone and more importantly she didn't claim it was in any way health-beneficial either. No issues with that. Who said that wax and sex don't mix? Ouch.
PPPS: I'm still a great fan of Honky Chateau, the pinnacle of his work IMHO though there are other very good albums too from around that era.
