Lyrics:
You get a shiver in the dark It's raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowin' Dixie double four time You feel alright when you hear that music ring
And now you step inside but you don't see too many faces Comin' in out of the rain you hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Oh but the horns they blowin' that sound Way on down south, way on down south London town
You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing Yes and an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright He can play the honky tonk like anything Savin' it up for Friday night With the Sultans... with the Sultans of Swing
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain't what they call rock and roll And the Sultans... yeah the Sultans play Creole
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings 'Goodnight, now it's time to go home' And he makes it fast with one more thing 'We are the Sultans... We are the Sultans of Swing'

I was at live aid... the straits then left the stadium and did a pre planned Gig at wembley arena the same evening, thats why despite being the biggest band in the world at the time they did an early spot at live aid ( 6 pm ish ) if i remember right and they also do not appear in the end of show line up.. i also went to the gig at the arena..
If you asked me, Live 8 was trash compared to Live Aid. They need to do something like this again, 2 countries and 2 stadiums only. So far this is something that hasn't been accomplished since 1985 (if you don't compare 2005, which was total rubbish).
