Sultans Of Swing

Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits (恐懼海峽)

Lyrics by：Mark Knopfler

Composed by：Mark Knopfler

You get a shiver in the dark

It's raining in the park but meantime

South of the river

You stop and you hold everything

A band is blowing Dixie

Double four time

You feel alright

When you hear the music ring

Well now you step inside

But you don't see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down

Competition in other places

Ah but the horns they blowin' that sound

Way on down south

Way on down south London town

Check out guitar George

He knows all the chords

Mind it's strictly rhythm

He doesn't want to make it cry or sing

Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene

He's got a daytime job he's doing alright

He can play the Honky Tonk like anything

Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans

With the Sultans of Swing

And a crowd of young boys

They're fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their baggies

And their platform soles

They don't give a d**n

About any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call Rock and Roll

And the Sultans

Yeah the Sultans they play Creole

Creole

And then the man

He steps right up to the microphone

And says at last

Just as the time bell rings

Goodnight thank you now it's time to go home

Then he makes it fast

With one more thing

We are the Sultans

We are the Sultans of Swing
