Sultan Of Swing (live) (Live) Lyrics
Sultans Of Swing (Live) - Dire Straits
Lyrics by:Knopfler Mark
Composed by:Knopfler Mark
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
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 many other places
Yeah but the horns blowing that sound blowing
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
Hey
Check out Guitar George he knows all the 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 scene
He's got a 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 the boys
They're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their
Baggies and their platform soles
Don't give a d**n about
Any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans
And the Sultans played Creole
And 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
And he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing
nice song
