What does the song "clean as a whistle" really mean?

What does this mean, 'the prettiest whistles won't whistle the thistles undone', in a new Decemberists song?

  • Answer:

    Some believe "the prettiest whistles won't whistle the thistles undone" refers to the fact that Not even Margaret, his true love, can reverse the spell the queen has over him, in terms of his shape shifting lifestyle. It may be dark fore-shadowing.
