LYRICS
Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeTell Me When The Whistle Blows
Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt CowboyThere's a dusty old gutter he's lying in nowHe's blind and he's oldAnd there's a bottle that rolls down the roadMe I'm young and I'm so wildAnd I still feel the needOf your apron strings once in a whileFor there's taxi cabs hootingBut I can't be foot-loose foreverMy suitcase it's a cheap oneMy darling she's a dear oneMy head's feeling light as a featherTake my ears and tell me when the whistle blowsWake me up and tell me when the whistle blowsLong lost and lonely boyyou're just a black sheep going homeI want to feel your wheels of steelUnderneath my itching heelsTake my moneyTell me when the whistle blowsPart of me asked the young man for the timeWith a cool vacant stare of undue concernHe said nineIt's not so bad but I really do love the landAnd rather all this than those diamante loversIn Hyde Park holding handsBlowing heat through my fingersTrying to kill off this coldWill the street kids rememberCan I still shoot a fast cueHas this country kid still got his soul
