Mark Knopfler - What it is
Tekst :
The drinking dens are spilling out
There s staggering in the square
There s lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters and the queues
Everbody s looking for
Somebody s arms to fall into
And it s what it is
It s what it is now
There s frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in towm
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lights are out in city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep
(Chorus)
And it s cold on the tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it s what it is
It s what it is now
The garrison sleeps in the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stones
High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul
(Chorus)
And it s cold on the tollgate
With the Caledonian blues
Cold on the tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it s what it is
It s what it is now
What it is
It s what it is now
There s a chink of light, there s a burning wick
There s a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
Is still in search of Little Nell
And it s what it is
It s what it is now
Oh it s what it is
What it is now
Inne utwory
Just one time Sands of Nevada The last laugh Beachcombing Boom like that The fish and the bird Prairie wedding In the sky Yakety axe One more matinee This is us Sailing to Philadelphia Cannibals Speedway at Nazareth Baloney again Secondary waltz If this is goodbye Losowe utwory
Five fingers crawl
Around your neck
The more you live
The more they take
The more you breath
The more they want
Five fingers cross
Upon your face
You leave me cold
Couldn t pay the price
You leave...
Podłych słów schowaj nóż
długo tak cierpiałem już
rany brzeg wódką zlej
nie gap się , no śmiej się śmiej.
Znajdziesz mnie na spalonym moście ,
w knajpie gdzie rzucono kości,
gdzie ktoś chce związać zerwaną nić. (2x)
Do mnie tam przyjdź
Ty i ja mamy...
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine
It feeds on my happiness won t pay the rent
I must take proper measures to evict it
A terrible thought has moved into my mind
A giant rat...
She s so precious
She s so luscious
Put your head in a whirl
Spinning round the world
She s the kind of girl
You ve seen a thousand times before
And how often that you hoped
She d open up...
Berücksichtigen Sie was Sie mich glauben bilden, Baby,
im Augenblick, das ich zu Ihnen unsichtbar fühle, wie ich nicht
nicht Sie glaubte mir mein Arme, aroud zu verriegeln Sie Why d
real bin Sie sich weg drehen? Hier was ich sagen muß, daß ich
Schrei dort überlassen wurde und wartet...
