Sultans of swing
You get a shiver in the dark  It's 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 don't see too many faces  Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down  Too much competition too many 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 he's strictly rhythm he doesn't 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 doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene  He's got a daytime job he's doing alright  He can play honky tonk just like anything  Saving 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  The don't give a damm about any trumpet playing band  It ain't whet 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 it's time to go home'  and he makes it fast whith one more thing  'We are the Sultans of Swing'

Lady Writer on the t.v.  Talk about the Virgin Mary  Reminded me of you  Expectations left to come up to yeah  Lady writer on the t.v.  Yeah, she had another quality  The way you used to look  And I know you never read a book  Just the way that her hair fell down around her face  Then I recall my fall from grace  Another time, another place  Lady write on the t.v.  She had all the brains and the beauty  The picture does not fit  You talked to me when you felt like it  Just the way that her hair fell down around her face  Then I recall my fall from grace  Another time, another place  Yes and your rich old man  You know he'd call her a dead ringer  You got the same command  Plus you mother was a jazz singer  Just the way that her hair fell down around her face  Then I recall my fall from grace  Another time, another place  Lady writer on the t.v.  She knew all about a history  You couldn't hardly write your name  I think I want you just the same as the  Lady writer on the t.v.  Talking about the Virgin Mary  Yeah you know I'm talking about you and me  And the lady writer on the t.v.  Lady writer on the t.v.  Talking about the Virgin Mary  Yeah you know I'm talking about you and me  And the lady writer on the t.v
Romeo and 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?  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 med 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?
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'r 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 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 whirlgig  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 cought 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 ar made  To rockaway rockaway from Cullercoasts and Whitley bay out to 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
Private investigations
It's a mystery to me - the game commences  For the usual fee - plus expences  Confidential information - it's in a diary  This is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry  I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt  You get to meet all sorts in this line of work  Treachery an reason - there's always an excuse for it  And when I find the reason I still get used to it  And what have you got at the end of the day?  What have you got to take away?  A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies  Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes  Scarred for life - no compensation  private investigation
Twisting by the pool (remix)
We're going on a holiday now  Gonna take a villa, a small chalet  On the Costa del Magnifico  Where the cost of living is so low  Yeah, we're gonna be so neat  Dance to the Eurobeat  Yeah, we're gonna be so cool  Twisting by the pool  Sitting in a small cafe now  Swing, swing, swinging to the cabaret  You wanna see a movie, take in a show now  Meet new people at the disco  Yeah, we're gonna be so neat  Dance to the Eurobeat  Yeah, we're gonna be so cool  Twisting by the pool  And we can still get information  Reading all the information  And you're never gonna be out of reach  There's a call-box on the beach  Mmm, you're gonna so cute  Sunglasses and bathing suit  Be the baby of my dreams  Like the ladies in the magazines  Yeah, we're gonna be so neat  Dance to the Eurobeat  Oh, yeah, we're gonna be so cool  Twisting by the pool  I'm a twisting fool  Just twisting yeah, twisting  Twisting by the pool
Love over gold
You walk out on the high wire  You're a dancer on thin ice  You pay no heed to the danger  And less to advice  Your footsteps are forbidden  But with knowledge of your sin  You throw your love to all the strangers  And caution to the wind  And you go dancing through doorways  Just to see what you will find  Leaving nothing to interfere  With the crazy balance of your mind  And when you finnaly reappear  At the place where you came in  You've thrown your love to all the strangers  And caution to the wind  It takes lover over gold  And mind over matter  To do what you do that you must  When the things that you hold  Can fall and be shattered  Or run through your fingers like dust
So far away
Here I am again in this mean old town  And you're so far away from me  And where are you when the sun goes down  You're so far away from me  So far away from me  So far I just can't see  So far away from me  You're so far away from me  I'm tired of being in love and being all alone  When you're so far away from me  I'm tired of making out on the telephone  And you're so far away from me  So far away from me  So far I just can't see  So far away from me  You're so far away from me  I get so tired when I have to explain  When you're so far away from me  See you been in the sun and I've been in the rain  And you're so far away from me  So far away from me  So far I just can't see  So far away from me  You're so far away from me
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
Brothers in arms
These mist covered mountains  Are a home now for me  But my home is the lowlands  And always will be  Some day you'll return to  Your valleys and your farms  And you'll no longer burn  To be brothers in arm  Through these fields of destruction  Baptism of fire  I've watched all your suffering  As the battles 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 on your palm  We're fools to make war  On our brothers in arms
Walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies  Be-Bop-A-Lua, 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  Yeah, the boy can play  Dedication devotion  Turning all the night time into the day  He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman  He do the song about the knife  He do the walk, he do the walk of life  Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story  Hand me down mu 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  He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman  He do the song about the knife  He do the walk, he do the 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  Yeah the boy can play  Dedication devotion  Turning all the night time into the day  And after all the violence and double talk  There's just a song in the trouble and the strife  You do the walk, you do the walk of life
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  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
Heavy fuel
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad  Worst hangover that I ever had  It took six hamburgers and scotch all night  Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right  'cos if you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel  My life makes perfect sense  Lust and food and violence  Sex and money are my major kicks  Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks  'cos if you wanna run cool  Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel  My chick loves a man who's strong  The things she'll do to turn me on  I love the babes, don't get me wrong  Hey, that's why I wrote this song  I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread  Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead  When my ugly big car won't climb this hill  I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill  'cos if you wanna run cool  If you wanna run cool  Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run  On heavy, heavy fuel
On every street
There's gotta be a record of you some place  You gotta be on somebody's books  The lowdown - a picture of your face  Your injured looks  The sacred and profane  The pleasure and the pain  Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street  A ladykiller - regulation tattoo  Silver spurs on his heels  Says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you  She threw herself under my wheels  Oh it's a dangerous road  And a hazardous load  And the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street  A three-chord symphony crashes into space  The moon is hanging upside down  I don't know why it is I'm still on the case  It's a ravenous town  And you still refuse to be traced  Seems to me such a waste  And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet  And it's your face I'm looking for on every street
Your latest trick (Live)
All the late night bargains have been struck  Between the satin beaus and their belles  And prehistoric garbage trucks  Have the city to themselves  Echoes roars dinosaurs  They're all doing the monster mash  And most of the taxis and the whores  Are only taking calls for cash  I don't know how it happened  It all took place so quick  But all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick  My door was standing open  Security was laid back and lax  But it was only my heart got broken  You must have had a pass key made out of wax  You played robbery with insolence  And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane  And you never did have the inteligence to use  The twelve keys hanging off my chain  I don't know how it happened  It all took place so quick  But all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick  Now it's past last call for alcohol  Past recall has been here and gone  The landlord finally paid us all  The satin jazzmen have put away their horns  And we're standing outside of this wonderland  Looking so bereaved and so bereft  Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands  The bottle's empty and there's nothing left  I don't know how it happened  It was faster than the eye could flick  But not all I can do is hand it to you  And your latest trick
