Sultans Of Swing (San Antonio Live In 85) - Dire Straits
Lyrics by：Mark Knopfler
Composed by：Mark Knopfler
Yeah get a shiver in the dark
It's rainin' in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowin' Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear the music ring
Well now you steppin' inside
But you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of rain they hear the jazz go down
Competition too many other places
Yeah but the horns they blowin' that sound
Way on downsouth
Way on downsouth
London town
Check it out guitar George
Well he knows all them fancy chords
Mind his rhythm gonna make that guitar cry
And make it sing
They said an old guitar it is all he can afford
When he gets up under the candlelights
He's gonna play that
And Harry doesn't mind
If he doesn't make that fancy scene
Got a daytime job he's doing quite all right
Thank you very much
Do the honky tonk just like anything
Savin' it up for Friday night
With the Sultans
Yeah we're the Sultans of Swing
They send a crowd of boys
They just fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their baggies and their best king's robe
Don't give a damn about any trumpet-playin' man
It isn't what they callin' rock and roll
The Sultans
Yeah the Sultans they play creole
And the man he just step right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
Then he go goodnight now it's time to go home
And he make it fast with just one more thing
We are the Sultans
Yeah we are the Sultans of Swing
