Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits

Sultans Of Swing

Dire Straits


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 blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear the music ring

And now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh but the horns, they blowing that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London town

You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
But he's strictly rhythm
he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
They've said 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 the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up, Friday night...
With the Sultans
We're 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, they play Creole

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"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Letra:
Te da un escalofrío en la oscuridad
está lloviendo en el parque, pero mientras tanto
al sur del río, te paras, y captas todo
una banda está tocando Dixie a ocho tiempos
Te sientes bien cuando escuchas el timbre de la música

Y ahora entras dentro, pero no ves muchas caras.
Viniendo de fuera de la lluvia para escuchar al jazz bajar
Competencia en otros lugares
oh, pero las trompas, soplan ese sonido
de camino al sur, de camino al sur de la ciudad de Londres.

Miras al guitarrista, George, él conoce todos los acordes
pero él está estrictamente al ritmo
no quiere hacerla llorar o cantar
Han dicho que una vieja guitarra es todo
lo que puede permitirse
cuando se levanta bajo las luces para tocar lo suyo.

Y a Harry no le importa, si él no hace la escena
él tiene un trabajo durante el día, que está haciendo bien
él puede tocar el honky-tonk como cualquier cosa
él lo está guardando, para la noche del viernes...
Con los sultanes,
Somos los sultanes del swing

Y una multitud de jóvenes muchachos
están tonteando en la esquina
Borrachos y vestidos con su mejor pantalón marrón
y sus tacones,
A ellos les importa un demonio
cualquier banda tocando la trompeta,
No es lo que ellos llaman rock and roll
Y los Sultanes...sí, los Sultanes, ellos tocan criollo.

Criollo

Y entonces el hombre, da un paso justo hasta el micrófono
y dice lo último, justo cuando suena la campana:
"Buenas noches, ahora es momento de irse a casa"
Y lo hace rápido con una cosa más:
"Somos los sultanes...
somos los sultanes del swing"

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...
