I am so thrilled -listening to this song,its a pleasure, so Heavenly !,the music and the words- I really enjoy! its one of the best- to help us-in spritual thoughts- Thank You very much- My- Regards - & Best Wishes - sandra xx
This is a beautiful song, but it's about evangelists on TV that promise you "a ticket to heaven" for donating to their ministries. I admit parts of hit home, but it's ultimately a put down for the con-artist evangelists.
This song has a special meaning in my heart...love you Mark! You have and always will hold a special place in my heart for all the joy and comfort your music has brought.
thumbing down and that too a DS share does not say anything about DS.
do ya even listen to music??! i bet ur heroes in music would remind you about DS,coz if they dont u need to git git .....starting from here to begin with.
As a Chasidic Jew,I feel bad for any believer who "Knows where he is going to be sitting when the saints come marching in"Front row seat? Not our worry.Doing G-D's Will today is.A smile an invite over for a warm meal,find them a job,visiting the sick.BUT,those who "believe in music"&pay the High Priest of Sony-Warner a large % of their money are as laughable as Dire Straits is showing of the slimy toads who promise you Eternity by the dollar and get ready for May 11,2011.Music iG-D's gift to us.
@markillingworth1972 Are you serious?? calling elvis?? I think the only decent song on this album is the one i'm listenting to. Oh and what's a Lady gaga? not that shiela that married that bloke in England!!
@caaseyjoyce On this album I love this one (Ticket to Heaven), but also "Iron hand" and "How long". Pity those three songs were never played in the major live concerts (none that I know of). Like yourself, I don't like "Calling Elvis" song.
Mark..... hahahahaha..... you are indeed a genius! This song (both music and lyrics) is so smooth and deceptive, depicting exactly those you are referring to in this piece.
Such a Beautiful and melodious song with smooooth lyrics sung and played by Mark Knopfler & Dire Straits !! Just simply LOVE it. !! Cheers for posting this one !! ta.
Sure is satirical: give all you have to the man with a diamond ring… You'll get a ticket to heaven just because nonetheless. I'm glad I wasn't the only one somewhat troubled by the lyrics, but loved the song so much to believe either truth! I think Mark Knopfler could be 'the man who sure can sing' if he wanted to, and many of us would probably give all we have, too. :-)
This song is a humorous commentary. . . The Man (with the golden ring--he sure can sing) sells "Tickets" to heaven and we "give what we can" to the point of not being able to pay our bills. But we can ride all the way to Paradise. . .Got to love Mark's style, wit and pure genius!
Es una bella cancion que dedique con todo mi cariño a cierta persona que quizas nunca sepa todo lo que enjendro dentro de mi.....en todo caso siempre recordare aquellos momentos acompañados por este tema
