Mark Knopfler - Sultans Of Swing Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (mark knopfler)
  • You get a shiver in the dark
  • Its 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 dont 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 hes strictly rhythm he doesnt 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 doesnt mind if he doesnt make the scene
  • Hes got a daytime job hes 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 theyre fooling around in the corner
  • Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
  • They dont give a damn about any trumpet playing band
  • It aint 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 its time to go home
  • And he makes it fast with one more thing
  • we are the sultans of swing
