Sultans of Swing

Song by Dire Straits

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 down south

Way on down south

London town

You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords

Mind, it's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it 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

And the Sultans

Yeah, the Sultans, they play 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 it's time to go home"

Then he makes it fast with one more thing

"We are the Sultans

We are the Sultans of Swing"

Walk of Life

Song by Dire Straits

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

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman

He do the song about the knife

He do the walk, do the walk of life

Yeah, he do the walk of life

Woohoo

Here comes Johnny, gonna tell you the story

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Here comes 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

The song about the sweet lovin' woman

He do the song about the knife

Then he do the walk, do the walk of life

Yeah, he do the walk of life

Woohoo-hoo

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

And after all the violence and double talk

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

You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life

Hmm, they do the walk of life

Woohoo

Woohoo-hoo

Woohoo-hoo

Woohoo

Romeo and Juliet

Song by Dire Straits

A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave 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 was loaded from the start

And I bet, and you exploded into my heart

And I forget, I forget the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

Come up on different streets, they both 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, yeah

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 'til I die'

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be

I can't do everything but I'll 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, the 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 'til I die'

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

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?"

And a lovestruck Romeo, he sang the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade

He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

"You and me, babe, how about it?"

We will remember them all, R.I.P.

Brothers in Arms

Song by Dire Straits

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 high

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're fools to make war

On our brothers in arms

I'm not saying that I'm old but I remember when the m in mtv stood for music.

Money For Nothing

Song by Dire Straits

Now look at them yo-yos, 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

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 got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries

We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs

See the little faggot with the earring and the make up

Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair

That little faggot got his own jet airplane

That little faggot, he's a millionaire

We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries

We got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color TVs

We got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries

We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs

Looky here, look out

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

And he's up there, what's that?

Hawaiian noises?

Bangin' on the bongos 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 got to install microwave ovens, custom kitchen deliveries

We got to move these refrigerators, we gotta move these color TVs

Listen here

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', chicks for free

Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Ooh, money for nothin', chicks for free

Money for nothin', chicks for free (money, money, money)

Money for nothin', chicks for free

Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free

Get your money for nothin' and the chicks for free

Get your money for nothin' and the chicks for free

Look at that, look at that

Get your money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)

Chicks for free (I want my MTV)

Money for nothin', chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)

Get your money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)

And the chicks for free (I want my MTV)

Get your money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)

And the chicks for free (I want my MTV)

Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)

Easy, easy chicks for free (I want my MTV)

Easy, easy money for nothin' (I want my, I want my)

Chicks for free (I want my MTV)

That ain't workin'

Money for nothing, chicks for free

Money for nothing, chicks for free

In My Dreams

Song by Dokken

In my dreams, it's still the same

Your love is strong, it still remains

Toss and turn all night in the sheets

But I can't sleep

Night after night don't know what it means

In my dreams

What can I say or do

You won't come back, we're through

I've realized too late

That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams, it's still the same

Your love is strong, it still remains

In my dreams, you're still by me

Just the way it used to be

Calling your name, but you're turning away

Please, don't leave

Running in circles, waiting to see you

In my dreams

What can I say or do

You won't come back, we're through

I've realized too late

That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams, it's still the same

Your love is strong, it still remains

In my dreams, you're still by me

Just the way it used to be

In my dreams, it's still the same

Your love is strong, it still remains

In my dreams, you're still by me

Just the way it used to be

In my dreams, it's still the same

Your love is strong, it still remains

In my dreams, you'll always be

In my heart and in my dreams

it's still the same

(In my dreams) you're still by me

(In my dreams) just the way it used to be

(In my dreams)

what can I say?

(In my dreams) you're still by me

And in my dreams, you'll always be

In my dreams, you'll always be

your love is strong

(In my dreams) you're still the same

(In my dreams)

(In my dreams) no!

(In my dreams)

"Breaking The Chains"

Sit there thinkin'

In your room

You feel the pressure

You're goin' crazy too

The walls around you

Closin' in

You need a change

Claustrophobic

Feelin' scared

You need somebody

But no one seems to care

A one way ticket

A change of pace

You've had enough

Can't take no more

[Chorus 1:]

Breaking the chains around you

Nobody else can bind you

Take a good look around you

Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter

Came today

From my baby

Who left me yesterday

Said she loves

She'll come back

She wants to try

I won't let her

She'll be upset

I know it's better

Than somethin' I'll regret

She's been dishonest

And insincere

I lost my mind

Twenty times a year

[Chorus 2:]

Breaking the chains around me

Nobody else can bind me

Take a good look around me

Now I'm breaking the chains

[Solo]

Woke up today

I'm alone

I look around

But baby you were gone

But I don't mind

And I don't worry

I will survive

I'm alone

Now that you're gone

Don't need nobody

To hold or tie me down

I broke the chains

So let me be

I've gotta be free

[Repeat Chorus 2]

[Repeat Chorus 2]

Into the Fire

Song by Dokken

You weave your spell, your eyes they beckon me

Your lips, they speak lies and misery

I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away

The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay

I'm falling

(Into the fire) I'm falling

Into the fire, into the fire

Into the fire I'm falling

Into the fire

Your love burns bright and yet the flames are cold

This time I fear you won't be back no more

When will it end? Your love consumes my soul

Into the fire I'm being tempted once more

I'm falling

(Into the fire) I'm falling

Into the fire, into the fire

Into the fire I'm falling

Take me back where I came from

Don't wanna see your face no more

You broke my heart, now it's not the same

I'm falling again, I'm falling again

Into the fire, into the fire

Into the fire, into the fire (I'm falling again)

Into the fire, into the fire (I'm falling again)

Into the fire I'm falling

Into the fire, into the fire

Into the fire I'm falling

Into the fire

Dream Warriors

Song by Dokken

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights

I'm not alone

I wonder if these heavy eyes, can face the unknown

When I close my eyes I realize

You'll come my way

I'm standing in the night alone

Forever together, oh

We're the dream warriors

Don't wanna dream no more

We're the dream warriors

And maybe tonight

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

I feel the touch comin' over me

I can't explain

I hear the voices callin' out

Callin' my name

It's the same desire to feel the fire

That's comin' your way

I'm standing in the night alone

Forever together, oh

We're the dream warriors

Don't wanna dream no more

We're the dream warriors

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)

Ain't gonna dream no more

And maybe tonight

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Sweet revenge, the bitter end

This time

Break the spell of illusion

Bound together waiting for you

Dream warriors

Don't want to dream no more

We're the dream warriors

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)

Ain't gonna dream no more

We're the dream warriors (dream warriors)

And maybe tonight

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

(Dream warriors)

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

(Dream warriors)

Forever

(Dream warriors)

Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Dream warriors

Dream warriors
