Mark Knopfler - Sultans Of Swing (Live At The Royal Albert Hall)

[00:13.98] You get a shiver in the dark [00:15.97] It's raining in the park but meantime [00:21.25] South of the river you stop and you hold everything [00:27.60] A band is blowing Dixie double four time [00:34.24] You feel all right when you hear that music ring [00:41.64] Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces [00:50.16] Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down [00:56.69] Competition in other places [01:03.28] But the horns, they blowing that sound [01:10.30] Way on down south [01:13.89] Way on down south in London town [01:28.16] You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords [01:34.94] But it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing [01:41.59] Yes then an old guitar is all he can afford [01:47.89] When he gets up under the lights to play his thing [01:55.13] And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene [02:03.60] He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright [02:09.67] He can play the honky tonk like anything [02:16.89] Saving it up for Friday night [02:23.98] With the Sultans [02:26.79] With the Sultans of Swing [02:41.64] And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner [02:48.50] Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles [02:54.81] They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band [03:01.69] It ain't what they call rock and roll [03:08.61] And the Sultans [03:11.62] Yeah, the Sultans played Creole, Creole [03:26.20] Then the man, he steps right up to the microphone [04:16.83] And says at last just as the time bell rings [04:23.45] "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" [04:30.10] And he makes it fast with one more thing [04:37.32] "We are the Sultans [04:40.52] We are the Sultans of Swing" [04:55.36]
