Bernie and I are still very close but we’ll never be as close as we were then. Isn’t it great, something’s going to happen.’ The song is about that kind of closeness. Something happened, and we thought, ‘Oh Jesus, we’ve gone through all that bloody rubbish together. When Bernie and I lived together I grew very attached to him and ‘We All Fall In Love Sometimes’ is about how we tried for so long to write things which had a spark in them and then we did. He had two brothers, and he adored his parents and he was always going on about his glorious childhood. I was the only child and I was extremely jealous of Bernie. I desperately wanted, as a kid, to have brothers and sisters. We were like brothers and I loved him very dearly. Who was to know?” Elton John (141) “Bernie and I were very close. In a way, years later, I ended up being Captain Fantastic and he ended up the Brown Dirt Cowboy: Here, I’m living my fabulous lifestyle, collecting paintings, and Bernie is interested in horses and bull riding and shit like that. That relationship is the most important relationship of my entire life. Thank God it wasn’t tied at the hip, because we wouldn’t have lasted. I was gay by that time and he was married, but he was a person that, more than anything, I loved, and the relationship we had was so odd, because it was not tied at the hip. We’d come so far, and we were still very naive. I cry when I sing this song, because I was in love with Bernie, not in a sexual way, but because he was the person I was looking for my entire life, my little soulmate. “Every lyric on “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy” was about Bernie and me, about our experiences of being able to make songs and make it big.
