Dire Straits

• 1.Down To The Waterline
  Sweet surrender on the quayside
  You remember we used to run and hide
  In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one time
  And we’re counting all the numbers down to the waterline
  Near misses on the dogleap stairways
  French kisses in the darkened doorways
  A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
  A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder
  Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
  Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights
  No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
  Your hands are cold but your lips are warm
  She can see him on the jetty where they used to go
  She can feel him in the places where the sailors go
  When she’s walking by the river and the railway line
  She can still hear him whisper
  Let’s go down to the waterline
• 2.Water Of Love
  High and dry in the long hot day
  Lost and lonely in every way
  Got the flats all around me sky up above
  I need a little water of love
  I’ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
  Crying out for some soothing rain
  I believe I have taken enough
  I need a little water of love
  Water of love deep in the ground
  No water here to be found
  Some day baby when the river runs free
  It’ll carry that water of love to me
  There’s a bird up in a tree sitting up high
  Waiting for me to die
  If I don’t get some water soon
  I’ll be dead and gone in the afternoon
  Once I had a woman I could call my own
  Once I had a woman now my woman is gone
  Once there was a river now there’s a stone
  You know it’s evil when you’re living alone
• 3.Setting Me Up
  You say I’m the greatest bound for glory
  Well the word is out and I learned
  I got the latest side of the story
  You’re pulling out before you get burned
  Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
  I never saw you breaking no law
  Stands to reason I’ve got to leave you alone
  What you taking me for
  You’re setting me up to put me down
  You’re making me out to be your clown
  You’re just setting me up to put me down
  You better give it up
  Quit your messing around
  You think I care about your reaction
  You think I don’t understand
  All you wanted was a piece of the action
  Now you talk about another man
• 4.Six Blade Knife
  Your six blade knife can do anything for you
  Anything you want it to
  One blade for breaking my heart
  One blade for tearing me apart
  Your six blade knife – do anything for you
  You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
  When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
  Took a stone from my soul when I was lame
  Just so you could make me tame
  You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
  I’d like to be free of it now – I don’t want it no more
  I’d like to be free of it now – you know I don’t want it no more
  Everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be
  A needle a wife or something that you just can’t see
  You know it keeps you strong
  Yes and it’ll do me wrong
  Your six blade knife – do anything for you
• 5.Southbound Again
  Southbound again I don’t know if I’m going or leaving home
  Boy got to be moving
  Seems like the boy is bound to roam
  Southbound again got no money I've got no place to go
  That woman's with her lover boy
  Never want to see her face no more
  Every single time I roll across the rolling River Tyne
  I get the same old feeling
  Every time I’m moving down the line
  Southbound again, last night I felt like crying
  Right now I’m sick of living
  But I’m going to keep on trying
• 6.Sultans Of Swing
  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 blowing Dixie double four time
  You feel all right when you hear that music ring
  You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
  Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
  Too much competition too many other places
  But not too many horns can make that sound
  Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
  You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
  Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
  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 doing alright
  He can play honky tonk just like anything
  Saving 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 played Creole
  And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
  And says at last just as the time bell rings
  ‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
  and he makes it fast with one more thing
  ‘We are the Sultans of Swing’
• 7.In The Gallery
  Harry made a bareback rider proud and free upon a horse
  And a fine coalminer for the NCB that was
  A fallen angel and Jesus on the cross
  A skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater’s waltz
  Some people have got to paint and draw
  Harry had to work in clay and stone
  Like the waves coming to the shore
  It was in his blood and in his bones
  Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds
  He might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
  He could not be in the gallery
  And then you get an artist says he doesn’t want to paint at all
  He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
  The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
  While the dealers they get together
  And they decide who gets the breaks
  And who’s going to be in the gallery
  No lies he wouldn’t compromise
  No junk no bits of string
  And all the lies we subsidise
  That just don’t mean a thing
  I’ve got to say he passed away in obscurity
  And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
  So he’s going to be in the gallery
• 8.Wild West End
  Stepping out to Angellucci’s for my coffee beans
  Checking out the movies and the magazines
  Waitress she watches me crossing from the Barocco Bar
  I’m getting a pickup for my steel guitar
  I saw you walking out Shaftesbury Avenue
  Excuse me talking I wanna marry you
  This is the seventh heaven street to me
  Don’t be so proud
  You’re just another angel in the crowd
  And I’m walking in the wild west end
  Walking with your wild best friend
  And my conductress on the number nineteen
  She was a honey
  Pink toenails and hands all dirty with money
  Greasy hair easy smile
  Made me feel nineteen for a while
  And I went down to Chinatown
  In the backroom it’s a man’s world
  All the money go down
  Duck inside the doorway gotta duck to eat
  Right now feels alright now
  You and me we can’t beat
  And a gogo dancing girl yes I saw her
  The deejay he say here’s Mandy for ya
  I feel alright to see her
  But she’s paid to do that stuff
  She’s dancing high I move on by
  The close ups can get rough
  When you’re walking in the wild west end
• 9.Lions
  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
  Congregation late again
  It’s getting darker all the time these flagpole days
  Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
  He’s a 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

Did you know?

• The version of ‘Sultans Of Swing’ included on Dire Straits is a different (and earlier) recording than the previously released Sultans Of Swingsingle, which was re-recorded at the label’s request to sound more like the original demo.
• ‘Sultans of Swing’, ‘Water of Love’, ‘Down to the Waterline’ and ‘Wild West End’ had all been put to tape during the band’s first demo sessions at Pathway Studios. Those recordings were issued as a limited release for Record Store Day 2015 as The Honky Tonk Demos.

Dire Straits Full Discography -

Dire Straits' minimalist interpretation of pub rock had already crystallized by the time they released their eponymous debut. Driven by Mark Knopfler's spare, tasteful guitar lines and his husky warbling, the album is a set of bluesy rockers. And while the bar band mentality of pub-rock is at the core of Dire Straits -- even the group's breakthrough single, 'Sultans of Swing,' offered a lament for a neglected pub rock band -- their music is already beyond the simple boogies and shuffles of their forefathers, occasionally dipping into jazz and country. Knopfler also shows an inclination toward Dylanesque imagery, which enhances the smoky, low-key atmosphere of the album. While a few of the songs fall flat, the album is remarkably accomplished for a debut, and Dire Straits had difficulty surpassing it throughout their career.
