crap!! i keep heading out to the coast freeway in my mind with my girl and pressing that throttle down S**T - this is another great one of many by Mark- thanks for posting but could you put the full version in here - please please !
I want to kill the person who thought it was a good idea to fade this song out at 3:00 minutes. This song had at very least an amazing 3 minute guitar solo which will never be heard!!!!
I wish I could still throw back a couple of beers and dance a lindy to this. This is Real rock & roll! But wait a minute - I never learned to dance and I never stopped at a couple of anything. Ah, but this is still great Rock & Roll.
Back in the early 80s my school friend Wayne and I used to play this album to death. Every time this track came on we'd sing it along out loud together - Good Times :-)
Some people say that they only dominated the 80's because of the narrowness of musical distribution back then: but when you listen to this (and a couple of others) they WERE awesome, and did deserve their place at the top of the tree.
A lot of people didn't like this album ("Making Movies") when it first came out because it wasn't the "vintage" Dire Straits sound. But man, this is rocking and rollocking like gangbusters. Yes, I still like "Sultans of Swing," "Waterline," and "Lady Writer," but oh, yeah, this was the next step and it was a giant step forward!
@AngusVanFrehley Def. Marshall double stack + there's nothing like that 63" Stratocaster he favors!!! One of the B-E-S-T guitarists &composers of our time!!
Can somebody help me please with the lyrics? I have been learning English for a really long time, I even spent a year in the States, but I don't seem to understand it! I mean I understand the words but I don't get the meaning...
Because the heart that you break is the one that you rely on.The bed that you make is the one that you lie on. When you point your finger cos your plan fell though. Got three more fingers pointing back at you.
Plan can be anything you try. And if you point your finger to blame someone else for ruining the plan three of your fingers point at you (try it). The meaning is of course to take responsibility of your own actions.
Dire straits was kinda the best perfect band. Long not boring songs. And if I'm right the didn't do drugs. (I mean bands which did that didn't perform that well)
@thomaswni yeah, some artists rely on the natural drugs already present in the human body, not everybody needs "external drugs" to honestly express there "inner world" or to let loose.

My big brother 'persuaded' me to like this by playing it very very very loudly, 8 feet away from my bedroom. I was 14.
Mind you, sure beats the Jethro Tull and Motorhead that he was also inflicting on me at the time. Thanks bro...
