Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Here's one to get you started, from the title track! 'Couldn't fool us, for we were spinnin' out our lines...'

Answer: walkin' on the wire

One of the best tracks in my opinion. Great words and a great melody.
2. 'It's four o'clock in the morning, Damn it ...'

Answer: Listen to me good

From 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight'. This is my favourite line!
3. 'It's enough to make you laugh, ...'

Answer: relax in a nice cool bath

From 'Writing', a song about Elton and Bernie's experiences of song-writing.
4. 'Treasure children always ...'

Answer: seek to find

From 'Curtains'.
5. 'But where were all your shoulders when we cried? Were the doctors in attendance saying...'

Answer: how they felt so sick inside

From 'Tower of Babel'. This one's about the awful 'letches' that the boys met whilst on their way to fame. Bernie, who has now turned his hand to art, has a painting called 'Babel'.
6. 'Could you knock a line or two, together for a friend? ___________________, with a happy end.'

Answer: sentimental, tear inducing

From 'Bitter Fingers'. Brilliant song with some great piano. (Guess that was a stupid comment considering whose album we're talking about here!)
7. 'There's a dusty old gutter he's lying in now...'

Answer: he's blind and he's old

From 'Tell Me When the Whistler Blows'. Bernie's way of saying he's still a country boy at heart.

No, no, no! There's a BLUE flashing light! From 'Better Off Dead'.
