I do not know what country you come from,but prostitution is a Global Problem. Assuming your from the US,Fyi,New York,Detroit,LA,San Francisco,Las Vegas Boston,New Jersey Miami are teeming with prostitutes and they are dimeba Dozen.
To me this melody is not happy, but melancholic - like so many of Elton''s tunes. That is probably the most appealing feature of his songs altogether. At least for me.
I was waiting for my time to have a haircut at the barber's. Then I got this old magazine and there was a small note mentinoning Elton's latest hit 'Sweet Painted Lady'. As an Elton fan I just wonder how this song would sound. The funny thing about is that I never ever listened to this song being played on the radio here in Brasil. I would only get to know this song much later.
lembro de na adolescencia gostar muito desta música sem fazer nenhuma ideia do que dizia a letra, achei sensacional uma letra tão romântica falar sobre uma prostituta. Acho que é uma bela homenagem de Elton Jphn e Bernie Taupin.
There's some connections here... "Sweet Painted Lady" uses seagull effects in the song...just like how The Shangri-Las did with "Remember (Walking In The Sand)" did...Billy Joel played piano on that song and BOTH he and Elton John toured together....

I was 13 wen that double album came out sweet painted lady classic john and taupin
Bernie Taupin wrote this! For Elton...great songwriter!
Bernie wrote 95% of Elton songs
One of Elton’s best. A real masterpiece…
Stil remember sll the words to this song had not heard it in decades
I like the sound of the seagulls around the port and the sound of the waves
Peppa pig
Jo Biggs no one creates a mood like Elton. There's quite a few sound effects on GYBR
Reminds me of Thailand & Philippines! Lots of sweet painted ladies....💞💕👍😎
Hahahahaha exactly.

I love this song. Call me crazy, but I always thought this song was longer than 3:55, possibly 5:00 or longer.
Божественно ...

I love everything about this track, but I have to say that the drums are just brilliant on it.
Of all the Elton songs I love, this one always gets me. It's a beautiful one.
words so perfect and written so beautifully.
Terrific song - Elton is quite good 😂
Great song ! So mellow. Thanks Elton and Bernie your music will live on.
wow, the photos are great; so young (weren't we all back then?) oh, the song's not too shabby, either (I love it, lol)
I wasn't born yet; I don't think that counts as being "young." : p
Brilliant, so good! One of the best albums ever!
THEE very very very very BEST album ever produced, I would say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
at 14 I had no idea what this song was about, I just thought it was another cool sounding song on GBYBR
me too
my mother got me this album because of the song 'harmony' . when i played the entire record many times, she must have regretted some of the other songs.
great song!
Forever My favorite Elton Tune! Such a smooth classic.❤
I always think of my middle brother when hearing this song or any from this album because he was probably Elton's biggest fan!
This sng im 14 yrs old who like this song, now im 65 yrs..god bless💖👍
Wow!
Been there, done that, 20 years of WESTPAC T-shirts to prove it. But anyway, EJ is one of a kind, epic.
Ahh. "The Asian Days". I'm with you.
So awesome
I got attacked at a rundown hotel once for playing this song in 1983 😢
LOVE IT!
