Sultans Of Swing歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Mark Knopfler
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Mark Knopfler
[00:14.03]You get a shiver in the dark
[00:16.07]It's raining in the park but meantime
[00:20.75]South of the river you stop and you hold everything
[00:27.45]A band is blowing Dixie double four time
[00:33.66]You feel alright when you hear that music ring
[00:43.02]You step inside but you don't see too many faces
[00:49.98]Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
[00:56.42]Too much competition too many other places
[01:03.25]But not too many horns can make that sound
[01:09.90]Way on down south way on down south London town
[01:27.83]You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
[01:35.05]Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
[01:41.94]And an old guitar is all he can afford
[01:48.09]When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[01:57.79]And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
[02:03.99]He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
[02:10.91]He can play honky tonk just like anything
[02:17.23]Saving it up for Friday night
[02:24.30]With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
[02:42.62]And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner now
[02:49.40]Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
[02:56.02]They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
[03:02.37]It ain't what they call rock and roll
[03:09.23]And the Sultans and the Sultans played Creole
[03:19.91]Creole
[04:14.52]And the man he steps right up to the microphone
[04:21.02]And says at last just as the time bell rings
[04:27.97]"Goodnight now it's time to go home"
[04:36.28]And he makes it fast with one more thing
[04:41.10]"We are the Sultans “
[04:44.09]we are the sultans of Swing"
