Tell Me When The Whistle Blows Lyrics - Captain Fantastic - Elton John

There's a dusty old gutter he's lying in now 

He's blind and he's old 

And there's a bottle that rolls down the road 

Me I'm young and I'm so wild 

And I still feel the need 

Of your apron strings once in a while 

For there's taxi cabs hooting 

But I can't be foot-loose forever 

My suitcase it's a cheap one 

My darling she's a dear one 

My head's feeling light as a feather 

Take my ears and tell me when the whistle blows 

Wake me up and tell me when the whistle blows 

Long lost and lonely boy 

you're just a black sheep going home 

I want to feel your wheels of steel 

Underneath my itching heels 

Take my money 

Tell me when the whistle blows

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Part of me asked the young man for the time 

With a cool vacant stare of undue concern 

He said nine 

It's not so bad but I really do love the land 

And rather all this than those diamante lovers 

In Hyde Park holding hands 

Blowing heat through my fingers 

Trying to kill off this cold 

Will the street kids remember 

Can I still shoot a fast cue 

Has this country kid still got his soul
