Song Lyric Sunday – Give a little whistle

The theme of SLS this week is songs with whistling in them. Thanks to Jim Adams for the prompt.

The Black Keys are an American rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums). The duo began as an independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records, before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre’s revival in the 2000’s. Tighten Up was released as a single in 2011 and is from the 2010 album; Brothers.

I wanted love, I needed love, Most of all, most of all Someone said true love was dead. And I’m bound to fall, bound to fall For you But what can I do? yeah.
Take my badge but my heart remains Lovin’ you, baby child. Tighten up on your reigns You’re runnin’ wild, runnin’ wild It’s true.
Sick for days in so many ways I’m achin’ now, I’m achin’ now It’s times like these I need relief. Please show me how, show me how To get right,
yes out of sight. When I was young and moving fast. Nothing slowed me down, slowed me down. Now I let the others pass I’ve come around, come around ’cause I’ve found.
Living just to keep going Going just to stay sane All the while never knowing It’s such a shame.
I don’t need to get steady I know just how I feel I’m telling you to get ready.
My dear.
