This is a grate song also a grate song like the the Brother in Arms the Money for Nothing, Brother in Arms, Walk of Life etc.
I really like this band. Unfortunately they are not together but Mark Knopfler several times makes very good concerts around in the world.
They were very young when they make this album. Basically it was the first. The guitar solos is very, very good and the lyrics is light and close to me. My feeling is same like I’m in the seaside in a sunny afternoon. I like the rock and blues mixture. They were the first band who makes this kind of music. I think Chris Rea and Bruce Springsteen are followers of the Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler .

You get a shiver in the dark
Its 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 dont 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 down south way on down south London town
You check out guitar gorge 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 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 dont give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It aint 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 its time to go home
And he makes it fast with one more thing
we are the sultans of swing
