[LadyWritah]

Mr Knopfler,I will never thank you enough for the music you give us!!! God (who-whatever) bless you!

[grillogriggs]

Thanks for posting but a small amendment to the last verse is needed. The lyrics are:

Now the rumors are flying

Speculation rife

Say that he's been trying someone else's wife

Somebody at the airport

Somebody on the phone

Says he's at the station and he's coming home alone

Now we get the story, the serious piece,

And a photograph taken in the hall

Cheers

Mark Knoffler ROCKS no matter what he's doing! I wish he would come to Raleigh!

[GrizzlyTnT]

[RandomRandomStuff1]

How can I lock that damn repeat button?! :D

[fibbsabaddy]

The most underted album

[ChrisTheSynthMan]

just amazing

[kentswearingen]

I love this song, but the record needed a producer. The song is done at 3:50. The last two minutes add nothing and are frankly boring. I don't mind an extended jam if there's something in it, but there was no point in repeating the basic riff for 2 minutes, except that they couldn't think of how to end it. If you must fade out, do it faster!

[whatsitallabouthey]

@kentswearingen In my opinion, you're right and you're wrong. Right because it really wasn't "necessary" to let it run for those two minutes, but wrong because that groove is absolutely "diggable" :) What I like about it is that it is not two minutes of extended soloing, but two minutes with focus on the groove. Love it.

1 Person with their thumbs in their ears...

[chestire]

@WoWCathy98 Two

[prober45]

@WoWCathy98 or, their rear

[MrPaperLantern]

@WoWCathy98 You said "1 person"  and then "THEIR thumbs"... wtf?

[vriezer123]

@MrPaperLantern nerd

[crellis0290]

@MrPaperLantern Last I checked, that was a proper sentence. How might you repair it, professor Paper Lantern?

[ASteveVaiFan]

@MrPaperLantern They're not gender specifying so their works appropriately in urban speech. For example, I just said they referring to WoWCathy98, as I don't know the person's gender (although I could certainly speculate).

[MrPaperLantern]

@ASteveVaiFan Thanks for explaining dude

[VoglioLaBirra]

Che bella sta canzoneee!!!!

[Apjooz]

Just that guitar thing at 5:26 makes this song awesome.
