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
