Lyrics: The Bug - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , The Bug

Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow

one step forward and it's back to go

you're standing on the throttle

you're standing on the breaks

in the groove 'til you make a mistake

sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all

you gotta know happy - you gotta know glad

because you're gonna know lonely

and you're gonna know bad

when you're rippin' and a ridin'

and you're coming on strong

you start slippin' and slidin'

and it all goes wrong because

sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all

one day you got the glory

one day you got none

one day you're a diamond

and then you're a stone

everything can change

in the blink of an eye

so let the good times roll

before we say goodbye, because

sometimes you're the windshield

sometimes you're the bug

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're a fool in love

sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby

sometimes you're the ball

sometimes it all comes together baby

sometimes you're going to lose it all

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Money For Nothing

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it

you play the guitar on the mtv

that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

money for nothin' and chicks for free

now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb

maybe get a blister on your little finger

maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens

custom kitchen deliveries

we gotta move these refrigerators

we gotta move these colour tv's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup

yeah buddy that's his own hair

that little faggot got his own jet airplane

that little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovesns

custom kitchens deliveries

we gotta move these refrigerators

we gotta move these colour tv's

I shoulda learned to play the guitar

i shoulda learned to play them drums

look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera

man we could have some fun

and he's up there, what's that? hawaiian noises?

bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee

that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens

custom kitchen deliveries

we gotta move these refrigerators

we gotta move these colour tv's, lord

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

you play the guitar on the mtv

that ain't workin' that's the way you do it

money for nothin' and your chicks for free

money for nothin' and chicks for free

Lyrics: Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Saltans Of Swing

You get a shiver in the dark,

It's a 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 the music ring

Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down

Competition in other places

Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound

Way on downsouth

Way on downsouth

London town

Check out guitar george, he knows-all the chords

Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make them cry or sing

They said 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

Savin' it up, for friday night

With the sultans

We're the sultans of swing

Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' 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 playin' band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

Then the sultans

Yeah the sultans they play creole, creole

Lead 1:

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

and says at last just as the time bell rings

Goodnight, now it's time to go home

and he makes it fast with one more thing

We are the sultans

We are the sultans of swing

Lyrics: Romeo And Juliet - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Romeo And Juliet

A lovestruck romeo sings the streets a serenade

laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made

finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

says something like you and me babe how about it?

juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme me a heart attack

he's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back

you shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that

anyway what you gonna do about it?

juliet the dice were loaded from the start

and i bet and you exploded in my heart

and i forget i forget the movie song

when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

come up on different streets they booth were streets of shame

both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same

and i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real

how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?

when you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold

you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin

now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him

juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die

there's a place for us you know the movie song

when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

i can't do the talk like they talk on tv

and i can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be

i can't do everything but i'd do anything for you

i can't do anything except be in love with you

and all i do is miss you and the way we used to be

all i do is keep the beat and bad company

all i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

julie i'd do the stars with you any time

juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said i love you like the stars above i'll love you till i die

there's a place for us you know the movie song

when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade

laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made

finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

says something like you and me babe how about it?

Lyrics: Walk Of Life - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Walk Of Life

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies

Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say

Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman

Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion

Oh yeah, the boy can play

Dedication devotion

Turning all the night time into the day

{Refrain}

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman

He do the song about the knife

And he do the walk, he do the walk of life

Yeah, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny goin' tell you the story

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Here come Johnny with the power and the glory

Backbeat, the talkin' blues

He got the action, he got the motion

Yeah, the boy can play

Dedication devotion

Turning all the night time into the day

{Refrain}

{Repeat first verse}

And after all the violence and double talk

There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife

You do the walk, you do the walk of life

Hm, you do the walk of life

Lyrics: Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: Brothers In Arms , D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics

These mist covered mountains

are a home now for me

but my home is the lowlands

and always will be

someday you'll return to

your valleys and your farms

and you'll no longer burn to be

brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction

baptisms of fire

i've witnessed your suffering

as the battle raged higher

and though they did hurt me so bad

in the fear and alarm

you did not desert me

my brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds

so many different suns

and we have just one world

but we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and

the moon's riding high

let me bid you farewell

every man has to die

but it's written in the starlight

and every line in your palm

we are fools to make war

on our brothers in arms

Lyrics: Tunnel Of Love - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Tunnel Of Love

Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that i choose

sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo

and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam

and i don't know where i'll be tonight but i'd always tell you where i am

In a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing in the light

she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night

i put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll

i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and i'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk

she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this

it's just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say

hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and i'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig

money for muscle another girl i dig

another hustle just to make it big

and rockaway rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this

she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake and a kiss

and in the roar of dust and diesel i stood and watched her walk away

i could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and i'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

And now i'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades

in any shooting gallery where promises are made

to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

Category: Angel Of Mercy , D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics

Well there's a Peter Pan moon shepherd's delight

I got to dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight

Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised

Angel of Mercy, you'll come to no harm

Angel of Mercy, there's no need for alarm

The knight in his armor wants a night in your arms

You know he's honest

Angel of Mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Sweet angel

Well now it's too late for talking we can talk later on

Let the saxophone play us till the chorus of dawn

And all I need is a little oblivion, you don't need protection

Well now here come the moonlight down on your bed

Angel of mercy let your heart rule your head

I don't want your money, I want you instead

Don't need rejection yeah

Angel of Mercy, angel delight, give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight

Well if you cross your heart

And spit and swear upon the grave of your mother

You got to get into it, you gotta tell me that I'm more than a lover

Yeah Angel of Mercy angel delight

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight

Yeah Angel of Mercy, angel delight

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight

Yeah Angel of Mercy angel delight

Give me my reward in heaven tonight

And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right

Angel of Mercy give me heaven tonight.

Lyrics: Why Worry - Dire Straits

Posted by Mario Arévalo |

Category: D , Dire Straits , Letra , Lyrics , Why Worry

Baby, i see this world has made you sad

some people can be bad

the things they do the things they say

But baby, i'll wipe away those bitter tears

i'll chase away those restless fears

and turn your blue skies into gray

Why worry

there should be laughter after pain

there should be sunshine after rain

these things have always been the same

so why worry now

why worry now

Baby, when i get down i turn to you

and you make sense of what i do

and all the isn't hard is the same

But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold

our love comes shinning red and gold

and all the rest is by the way

Why worry

there should be laughter after pain

there should be sunshine after rain

these things have always been the same

so why worry now

why worry now

Dire straits - calling elvis

Calling elvis - is anybody home

calling elvis - i'm here all alone

did he leave the building

or can he come to the phone

calling elvis - i'm here all alone

Well tell him i was calling just to wish him well

let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel

oh love me tender - baby don’t be cruel

return to sender - treat me like a fool

Calling elvis - is anybody home

calling elvis - i'm here all alone

did he leave the building

or can he come to the phone

calling elvis - i'm here all alone

Why don't you go get him - i'm his biggest fan

you gotta tell him - he's still the man

long distance baby - so far from home

don't you think maybe you could put him on

Well tell him i was calling just to wish him well

let me leave my number - heartbreak hotel

oh love me tender - baby don’t be cruel

return to sender - treat me like a fool

Calling elvis - is anybody home

calling elvis - i'm here all alone

did he leave the building

or can he come to the phone

calling elvis - i'm here all alone
