Mark Knopfler - Stand Up Guy (Remastered 2021)
Текст песни
Текст песни: Brew the coffee in the bucket
Double straight man and banjo
If you don't got the snake oil
Buster, you don't got a show
Who puts the do-re-mi in our pocket
Keeps the party going on
It's the man who sells the potions
I'm just the one who plays the songs
Now, they generally buy the bigger size
They usually rub it in
I drank it once, it tasted
Like grease and paraffin
Well, it's mostly alcohol, okay
You can't deny it's strong
We was going through the motions
'Til the doctor came along
There stands the bottle
Ladies and gentlemen
All these bottles
Don't have to tell you, friends
These days, miracles
Don't come falling from the sky
Raise your glasses to the doctor
To a stand-up guy
When the monkeyshine is flying
And he's promising the cure
He says the French for your lovesick blues
"La maladie d'amour"
He gets the chumps all laughing
But he gets a few to buy
Here's to beefsteak when you're hungry
And whisky when you're dry
Now, the band'll blow their moolah
Like sailors gone ashore
Now we're going to West Helena
To gamble, drink, and whore
Let's see you and me all make whoopee
Here's to mud in your eye
Here's to all the girls you ever want
And heaven when you die
There stands the bottle
Ladies and gentlemen
All these bottles
Don't have to tell you, friends
These days, miracles
Don't come falling from the sky
Raise your glasses to the doctor
To a stand-up guy
Well, there's the big cheese with a cigar
Been sizing up the show
He wants to get the doctor
Pitching on the radio
I will make a switch to guitar
But the rules all still apply
They want to trust somebody
Yeah, they want a stand-up guy
There stands the bottle
Here's to absent friends
All these bottles
Dead soldiers in the end
These days, miracles
Don't come falling from the sky
Raise your glasses to the doctor
To a stand-up guy
To the doctor, the stand-up guy
Double straight man and banjo
If you don't got the snake oil
Buster, you don't got a show
Who puts the do-re-mi in our pocket
Keeps the party going on
It's the man who sells the potions
I'm just the one who plays the songs
Now, they generally buy the bigger size
They usually rub it in
I drank it once, it tasted
Like grease and paraffin
Well, it's mostly alcohol, okay
You can't deny it's strong
We was going through the motions
'Til the doctor came along
There stands the bottle
Ladies and gentlemen
All these bottles
Don't have to tell you, friends
These days, miracles
Don't come falling from the sky
