True love will never fade - Kill To Get Crimson (2007)
True love will never fadeTrue love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
I wonder if there’s no forever
No walking hand in hand
Down a yellow brick road
To never never land
These days I get to where I’m going
Make it there eventually
Follow the trail of breadcrumbs
To where I’m meant to be
To where I’m meant to be
I don’t know what brought you to me
That was up to you
There’s so many come to see me
Who want their own tattoo
I fixed a needle in a holder
Laid my hand upon your spine
And there upon your shoulder
I drew the picture as your sign
When I think about us
I see the picture that we made
The picture to remind us
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
I worked the rowdies and daytrippers
Now and then I think of you
Any which way we’re all shufflin’
Forward in the queue
They like to move my operation
They like to get me off the pier
And I dream I’m on a steamer
Pullin’ out of here
When I think about us
I see a picture that we made
The picture to remind us
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
True love will never fade
All the roadrunning - All The Roadrunning con Emmylou Harris 2006
[Nota de Knopfler] Que virguería de nuevo disco se ha currado M.K. ¡Nos vemos en Barcelona!A million miles our vagabond heels
clocked up beneath the clouds
They’re counting down to show time
When we do it for real with the crowds
Air miles are owing
but they don’t come for free
And they don’t give you any for pain
But if it’s all for nothing
all the roadrunning's
been in vain
The rimshots come down like cannon fire
and thunder off the wall
there’s a man in every corner
and each one is giving his all
this is my fife
this is my drum
so you never will hear me complain
And if it’s all for nothing
all the roadrunning's
been in vain
All the roadrunning
all the roadrunning
Well if you’re inclined
to go up on the wall
it can only be fast and high
and those who don’t like the danger
soon find something different to try
When there’s only a ringin’ in your ears
and an echo down memory lane
But if it’s all for nothing
all the roadrunning's
been in vain
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
The show’s packing up
I sit and watch the convoy
leaving town
There’s no pretending I’m not a fool,
for riding around and around
like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death
you showed me one time on the plane
But if it’s all for nothing
all the roadrunning's
been in vain
A million miles of vagabond sky
clocked up above the clouds
I’m still your man for the roaming
for as long as there's roamin' allowed
There’ll be a rider
and there’ll be a wall
as long as the dreamer remains
And if it’s all for nothing
all the roadrunning's
been in vain
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
All the roadrunning, all the roadrunning
Romeo And Juliet -
[COMENTARIO] Mi aportación al día del amor en eXtreblog. Enhorabuena, Almondiguilla.
A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like, 'You and me babe, how about it?'
Juliet says, 'Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heartattack'
He's underneath the window, she's singing, 'Hey now, myboyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that'
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded into my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong,Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of yourdeals?
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chainsof gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin,yeah
Now you just say, 'Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have ascene with him
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till Idie
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong,Juliet?
I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, and bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you, anytime
Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till Idie
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong,Juliet?
And a love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like, 'You and me babe, how about it?'
'You and me babe, how about it?'

The man's too strong - Brothers In Arms (1985)
I'm just an aging drummer boyAnd in the wars I used to play
And I've called the tune
To many a torching session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I'm fading away
Father please hear my confession
I have legalised robbery
Called it belief
I have run with the money
I have hid like a thief
I have re-written history
With my armies of my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
And I sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I never have known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man's too big
The man's too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
You always was a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife '
Oh Father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man's too big
The man's too strong
I think I love you too much -
[Comentario] Canción de amor escrita para su ex-mujer, Lourdes Salomone. Tras su separación el "I think I love you too much" (creo que te quiero demasiado) pasó a ser un creo que te quería demasiado. Mmm, buen sentido del humor, sí señor.I’m not alone
You’re sittin’ right there
How come I get the feelin’
You could vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, baby
Can’t you tell I’m an easy touch
Oh baby, baby
I think I love you too much
If I picked you up
Oh, you’d slip right away
If I locked you up
You’d find a way to make me pay
You’re gonna hurt me more than anybody else
’cause you know I’m an easy touch
Oh baby, baby
I think I love you too much
I guess I’m gonna get you what you want
’cause I’m so into you
You don’t even give an inch to me, baby
Though I’ve been givin’ you a mile or two
I’m not alone
You’re sittin’ right there
How come I get the feelin’
You could vanish into the air
I love you more than anybody else, baby
Can’t you tell I’m an easy touch
Oh baby, baby
I think I love you too much
Ooh baby, baby
I think I love you too much
I said baby, baby
I think I love you too much
Wild West End - Dire Straits (1978)
Stepping out to Angellucci's for my coffee beansChecking 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 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 Greasy Greasy hair, easy smile
Made me feel nineteen for a while
And I went down to, Cha, Cha, uh, uh, Chinatown
In the backroom it's man's world
All the money go down
Duck inside the doorway, duck to eat
Just ain't no way,
You and me, we can beat
Walking in the wild west end
Walking in the wild west end
Walking with your wild best friend
Now eh, a gogo, dancing girl, yes I saw her
The deejay, he says, here's Mandy for ya
I feel alright, saying now, 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
Walking in the wild west end
Walking in the wild west end
Walking with ya'cha wild best friend
Walking it, Walking it
Je suis dÈsolÈ - Golden Heart 1996
Je suis dÈsolÈWe are leaving, leaving
Leaving on the tide
Come and stand beside me love
The water is so wide
You can hear the sailors calling
At the dawning of the day
Yesterday is falling, love
And je suis dÈsolÈ, je suis dÈsolÈ
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais la vie me demande ca
I am turning, turning
From a land that I loved well
Look ahead my darling one
Across the rolling swell
And you can hear the seagulls crying
As we're slipping out of the bay
Yesterday is dying, love
And je suis dÈsolÈ, je suis dÈsolÈ
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais la vie me demande ca
We are sailing, sailing
For a land that's proud and free
I had no more endurance
For what had become of me
And I will do that which I must do, love
And now we're under way
All that I can say to you
Is je suis dÈsolÈ
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais la vie me demande ca
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais je n'ai pas le choix
Je suis dÈsolÈ, mais la vie me demande ca
Where Do You Think You"re Going - Communiqué (1979)
Where do you think you"re goingDon"t you know it"s dark outside
Where do you think you"re going
Don"t you care about my pride
Where do you think you"re going
I think you don"t know
You got no way of knowing
You got no place to go
I understand your changes
How long before you reach the door
I know where you think you"re going
I know what you came here for
And now I"m sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
Where do you think you"re going
I think you"d better go with me, girl
You say there is no reason
But you still find cause to doubt me
When you ain"t with me girl
You"re gonna be without me
Where do you think you"re going
Don"t you know it"s dark outside
Where do you think you"re going
Don"t you care about my pride
And now I"m sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
Where do you think you"re going
I think you"d better go with me, girl
News - Communiqué (1979)
He sticks to his gunsHe take the road as it comes
It takes the shine off his shoes
He’s says it’s a shame
You know it may be a game
But I won’t play to lose
He’s burning the grass
He take up a glass
He swallow it neat
He crosses the floor
He open the door
He take a sniff of the street
And she tell him that he’s crazy
She’s saying listen baby
I’m your wife
She tells him he’s crazy
For gambling with his life
But he climbs on his horse
You know he feels no remorse
He just kicks it alive
His motor is fine
He take it over the line
Until he’s ready to dive
And she tells him that he’s crazy
She’s saying listen baby
I’m your wife
She’s tell him he’s crazy
For gambling with his life
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It takes the shine off his shoes
He’s says it’s a shame
You know it may be a game
But I won’t play to lose
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It takes the shine off his shoes
He’s too fast to stop
He take it over the top
He make a line in the news
Shangri La - Shangri La 2004
[COMENTARIO] Una canción alegre, intimista y melancólica. Una verdadera joya del último disco de Mark Knopfler.it’s the end of a perfect day
for surfer boys and girls
the sun’s dropping down in the bay
and falling off the world
there’s a diamond in the sky
our evening star
in our shangri-la
get that fire burning strong
right here and right now
it’s here and then it’s gone
there’s no secret, anyhow
we may never love again
to the music of guitars
in our shangri-la
tonight your beauty burns
into my memory
the wheel of heaven turns
above us endlessly
this is all the heaven we’ve got
right here where we are
in our shangri-la
this is all the heaven we’ve got
right here where we are
in our shangri-la
