Sultans Of Swing (Live At The Royal Albert Hall)

Sultans Of Swing (Live At The Royal Albert Hall) - 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 that music ring

You step inside but you don't see too many faces

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

Competition too many other places

But the horns they're blowing that sound

Way on down south way on down south London town

You check out Guitar George he knows all them fancy chords

Strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing

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 fancy scene

Daytime job he's doing alright

He can play honky tonk just 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

Dressed in their baggies and their best king's road

They don't give a d**n about any trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the man he just steps right up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home

And he makes it fast with one more thing

We are the sultans we are the sultans of Swing
