  3. The sky is crying the streets are full of tears, rain come down wash away my fears and all this writing on the wall -- I can read between the lines. Rain come down, forgive this dirty town; rain come down and give this dirty town a drink of water, a drink of wine.
    -- Hand in Hand, by Dire Straits

  7. Dire Straits, Romeo and Juliet, 1980

    A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
    Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
    Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
    Says something like “You and me babe: how ‘bout it?” … cctm.website/dire-straits-rome

  16. Well, it’s after 11 “Chicago time” and I reckon I should tone it down a bit with one of Knopfler’s best tunes IMHO.

    I've been too and long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain
    I believe I have taken enough
    Yes I need a little Water Of Love
    Water Of Love
    Deep in the ground
    But there ain't no water here to be found
    Some day baby when the river runs free
    It's gonna carry that Water Of Love to me

  22. Probably the last one before the footy. For some reason, and let’s be honest, we never know the reasons, this has been playing on my mind all evening. I will now close my eyes and enjoy until kick off. #vinyl #DireStraits #MarkKnopfler #NowPlaying

    #direstraits #classicrock #markknopfler #70srock #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic The debut album hit like a ... shiver in the dark ... June 9, 1978 in the UK ... October '78 in the USA. It arrived at the height of punk and disco but it broke through heartily with its stripped-back rock sound and Mark Knopfler's signature fingerpicking style.
