Dire Straits - Lions
Lyrics:
Red sun go down way over dirty town
Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
A girl is there high heeling across the square
Wind blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
She looks around to find a face she can like.
Church bell clinging on trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
They're all in the station praying for trains
Cogregations late again
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
He's crazy lion howling for a fight.
Strap hanging gunshot sound
Doors slamming on the overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there's hope later for Capricorns
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get home
Then she's reading about a swing to the right
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
I'm thinking about the lions tonight
What happened to the lions.

Genialllll....

@Patsik The mainstream success of Brothers In Arms put a lot of people (who like quality music) off ever getting into the first 3 albums - if they only ever recorded these 3 they would be heralded as a ground breaking & cool indie band
-

@ekstradycja doesn't have anything to do with Poland or the education system there. And generally not every single person in Poland listens to Mark Knopfler.
-
@yngwiesviking and you're saying this in a reference to what?
-
@ekstradycja okay well everything you said was pretty irrelevant.

I really love this band! This was one of my first albums and is probably one of my very favourites.

Dire Straits were masters of a sound that was entirely their own. Mark Knopler is a rock and roll guru. Thank you for posting this 'gem' of an album.
