Early Bird

Early Bird - Mark Knopfler

Got no books in my house

Got no time for those

No room in my closets

Closet's full of clothes

Garage full of wheels babe

Boat house full of boat

The lifestyle ideal babe

That's what gets my vote

All the Villa's on the hillsides

Gotta have a view of the sea

Villas of the empire

Way back in history

They have slaves for

The galleys and the kitchens

Gardens and the vines

Slaves for the beautiful people

Bring water food and wine

A slave to tie your bib

Another one to carry it

So now I'll take my crib

I dig my chariot dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac coming

Forth to carry me home dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac coming

Forth to carry me home

England calls me vulgar

I'd call myself refined

Good bye old England

Simon's off to sunny climes

Look who's doin it now babe look

Who's doin it now

Look who's doin it now babe look

Who's doin it now

Always was an early bird

With something on the side

Better buy this better buy that

Maybe let that baby ride

Out here every day it's hot

And I'm talking to my men

Working this working that

Working on my master plan

A slave to tie my bib

Another one to carry it

So now I'll take my crib

I dig my chariot dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac

Coming forth to carry me home dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac

Coming forth to carry me home

Now here's the hot-tub

Here's the gym

Here's the pool that I swam in

Up the stairs my footprints led

To the bedroom to my bed

Up the stairs my footprints led

To where I lay my bosom head

Sleep the long sleep of the dead

I'm and early bird that's what I said

Early bird

Early bird

Oh I'm an early bird
