video clip: <br />Dire straits - sultans of swing (live very rare 1978) <br /><br />Artiste: Dire Straits <br />Chanson: Sultans Of Swing <br /><br />You get a shiver in the dark <br />It's been raining in the park but meantime <br />South of the river you stop and you hold everything <br />A band is blowing Dixie double four time <br />You feel all right when you hear that music ring <br /><br />You step inside but you don't see too many faces <br />Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down <br />Too much competition too many other places <br />But not too many horns can make that sound <br />Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town <br /><br />You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords <br />Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing <br />And an old guitar is all he can afford <br />When he gets up under the lights to play his thing <br /><br />And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene <br />He's got a daytime job he's doing alright <br />He can play honky tonk just like anything <br />Saving it up for Friday night <br />With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing <br /><br />Amd a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner <br />Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles <br />They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band <br />It ain't what they call rock and roll <br />And the Sultans played Creole <br /><br />And then the man he steps right up to the microphone <br />And says at last just as the time bell rings <br />'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home' <br />and he makes it fast with one more thing <br />'We are the Sultans of Swing'
