Check the occupation, the implied gender, and the final line of verse 2 in "Island Girl". Not what you expected? Violent and subversive story of a sex worker from Elton John who took it to Number 1 pop hit from 1975. Concept extended later by the Ramones in "53rd and 3rd". https://www.songfacts.com/lyrics/elton-john/island-girl "You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake, oh oh He one more gone, he one more john who make the mistake" #sexworker #gender #eltonjohn
