"Sultans of Swing"
(by Dire Straits)

You get a shiver in the dark
It's been 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

Amd 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

Paging the Sultan...paging the Sultan...MUD

Talks of not brought vittals and bets unpaid.

Before I go any further...do either of you have mafia connections?

Answer Yes, and I will say..YOU ARE LOVELY PEOPLE.

[sultan88]

"Le gách dea ghuí"

Yer getting me excited, Happygal!! As if I were not already excited enough about my trips eight! LOL

[Mudboy Slim]

"...either of you have mafia connections?"

I'm plum outta them...but Landru's almost a black belt in karate...does that count?!

"YOU ARE LOVELY PEOPLE."

Awww...we love you, too, ma'am...MUD

[Happygal]

Didn't you know? Landru is MY 'Don'?

Not to mention that he just has the BEST musical taste? (NO offence Mud, but he has *L*)

[Mudboy Slim]

"Landru is MY 'Don'"

He prefers that his name be pronounced "DAN"...but y'all talk funny anyways, so I'll cut you some slack...MUD

[Happygal]

Le gach dea ghuí?

Well, it's Gaelic (I'm a fluent Irish speaker...nothing to brag about, but it's difficult to come out of the Irish educational system without being bi..if not tri lingual)

It simply means 'with every god wish' (well that's the simple translation)

[Happygal]

*LOL*...He's my Don with many Dans on his belt!

And if you start giving me a hard time I'm going to sic him on you!;-)

LANNNNNDRUUUUU!!!!!!!!
