Lyrics for Sultans of Swing by Mark Knopfler:
| | | Artist: | Mark Knopfler |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Sultans of Swing | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 68 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
Too much competition too many other places
But not too
many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
You check
out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's 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 a crowd of young boys they're
fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform
soles
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and
roll
And the Sultans played Creole
And then the man he 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 of Swing' | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
