3. 'So save your strength and __________'

Answer: run the fields you play alone

 From 'Someone Saved my Life Tonight', a song penned by Bernie about Elton's laughable suicide attempt, his method of choice being sticking his head inside the oven. (With the gas on 'low', the window open and a pillow to rest his head on!)
4. 'We watched the arrested get taken away, and that cigarette haze___________'

Answer: has ecology beat

 From 'Better Off Dead', a track from the album 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy'.

9. An easy one now, '___________ Honky Cat, better get back to the woods'.

Answer: Get Back

 Suprisingly enough, from 'Honky Cat', which is, suprisingly enough, from the album 'Honky Chateau'! This song is about Bernie's journey from Owmby-By-Spittle into the bright lights of London.

Answer: steak and eggs

 Another one from 'Captain Fantastic', which you can probably tell that I quite like! This one's 'Writing', the tale of how the music comes about. Hope you liked my quiz!
