Elton John thumbs nose at Train?

In the song Tinderbox taken from Elton John's latest album The Captain and The Kid, Elton recounts how he and lyricist Bernie Taupin, at the peak of their success, began pushing themselves, and each other too hard ("rubbing up together around the clock / lately we've been getting more roll than rock / You and me together in a tinderbox"). [Tinderbox lyrics]

As Elton put it in a live performance, "We got on each other's nerves a lot. And we're sorry for that," before hammering the catchy intro to Tinderbox.


In the final lines of the third verse, he sings: "Was he worried we might go too far / Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June" which I presume to be Taupin poking fun at bad poetry -- songwriters who rhyme for the sake of rhyming.

But then it hit me that the combination of "moon - June" is not really that uncommon. Do you recognize this song that goes: "Now that she's back in the atmosphere / With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey..."? Yes, it's Drops of Jupiter by Train. [Drops of Jupiter lyrics]

And the final lines of that verse?
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey

Now, is Elton implying his judgement on Train's songwriting skills? Do you know of any other "moon - June" combinations?
