Any Dire Striats fan here ?

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
’cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel

My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
’cos if you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel

My chick loves a man who’s strong
The things she’ll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don’t get we wrong
Hey, that’s why I wrote this song

I don’t care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don’t care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won’t climb this hill
I’ll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
’cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel

Ohh yaa ...kick ass talented Mark Knopfler

My favourite songs are:

1 Why Worry
2 Romeo and Juliet
3 Telegraph Road
4 Brothers in Arms

Not a very big fan of them but two of their songs, "So far away" and "Money for nothing" are among my favorite songs.

Sultan Of Swing ..Bagus !!!

Yeah!!! They are great. Sultan of Swings is still a fav. eh.... Alchemy - Live is still the one of the fav. Albums.... babai, damn, what an awesome drums they play in that Alchemy live album... esp. the "Sultan of Swings" song.. eh... Guitar ko ta kurai nagarum... not a great fond of Mr. Knopfler when he picks up the mic tho... but he is one of the Guitar Gods. eh.. no doubt about that. :D

MONEY FOR NOTHING CHICKS FOR FREE

Ha ha ha ha ha ha !! ..Chicks For Free ???


I am listening to Dire Striats now. Thanks to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with my numerous trip I was able to purchase many complete album of various bands.

Oh I loved em! I don't think his (Mark Knopfler) solo acts were on par with his Dire S stuffs.

I_nepali bro, what's the humor in there? Hami ni sunam na.

IndisGuise:)

Hell yeah,
I am a big fan of him. Here is my listings:

1. Brothers in Arms
2. Sultan of Swing
3. Romeo and Juliet

Nation Anthem: Used to start playing this song first while in rehearsal - those were the days....

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 you 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
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
But then 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 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... Yea the Sultans that play Creole ...Creole

And then the man 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'

Hmmm Dire Straits huh..... Not including common fav's like sultans of swing , so far away and money for nothing ..... other fav's are

Brothers in Arms..

Walk Of Life

Romeo and Juliet

One of the nicest music from dire straits
On Every Street ...... Your Latest Trick..... Local hero...

Love Over gold
ahhh wht the heck ... All of their songs are awesome


Dire Straits Rocks

Laterzzzzzzzz

Tunnel of Love...

i like them.................they are superrrrrrrrrrrrr.................specially i like the song MONEY FOR NOTHING....................BROTHERS IN ARMS...................

CHEERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...................

It's gotta be a long drive...empty highway...flowing smoothly at 75 MPH...all by yourself...SULTANS OF SWING blasting through the speakers! Bhutukkai banaunchha malai ta!

Have always loved their songs since high school...that was...errrrrrr...bhanum? More than 20 years ago! :D

Count me in. The Sultan one is one of the best of their numbers. It's for me, at least.

My uncle was a big fan of Dire Straits. Because of him, I too became their fan. This was back in 80's. Perhaps because I listened to them way too much, now, I feel blah.... Thank God dire straits are no more.

ps-> just my opinion hai, please don't attack me, you crazy Dire Straits lunatics.

Yep!
Money for Nothing and Chick for Free...

Sultan Of Swing... Mark Knopler, in this song showcases his unique style of guitar playing.

Brothers in Arms and Romeo & Juliet..are my 2 favorite ones. Back in I. Sc. days in College I, along with some friends, spent time listening to Dire Straits and Bob Dylan and going over every lyrics...instead of studying Physics, Chemistry....

Few years later in college in the US...I met this Pakistani student...who declared "There is Allah and there is Mark Knopfler."

And going to Mark Knopfler concert was one of the best experience of my life.

Btw, Mark Knopfler's last album was called Shangri-La.
