DIRE STRAITS SULTANS OF SWING LYRICS
Send "Sultans of Swing" Ringtone to your Cell
You get a shiver in the dark
Its been 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 all right when you hear that music ring
And 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 other places
Ah but the horns they're blowing 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 does'nt want to make it cry or sing
They say 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 the honky tonk 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 - Creole.
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
Goodnight now its time to go home
And he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing.
I'm just a Soul whose Intentions are Good
