Dire Straits - So Far Away Lyrics

Dire Straits - So Far Away Video

Here I am again in this mean old town
And you're so far away from me
Now where are you when the sun goes down
You're so far away from me
 
You're so far away from me
So far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
All right
 
I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
'Cause you're so far away from me
 
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
All right
 
And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me
 
You're so far away from me
You're so far I just can't see
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me
Check it out
 
So far away
You're so far away from me
(You're so far)
All right
(You're so far)
Yes, you're so far away from me

Dire Straits - Where Do You Think You're Going Lyrics

Dire Straits - Where Do You Think You're Going Video

Where d'ya think you're going
Don't you know it's dark outside
Where d'ya think you're going
Don't you care about my pride
Where d'ya think you're going
I think a you don't know
You got no way of knowing
There's really no place you can go
 
I understand your changes
A-long before you reach the door
I know where you think you're going
I know what you came here for
And now I'm sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
A-where d'ya think ya going
I think you better go with me girl
 
You say there is no reason
But you still find cause to doubt me
If you ain't with me girl
You're gonna be without me
 
Where d'ya think you're going
Don't you know it's dark outside
Where d'ya think you're going
I wish I didn't care about my pride
And now I'm sick of joking
You know I like you to be free
A-where d'ya think ya going
I think you better go with me girl

Dire Straits - Money For Nothing Video

I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV

Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
 
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb
 
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's
 
See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire
 
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's
(Move-a, move-a... uh)

Custom kitchen deliveries)
We gotta move these refrigerators
(We gotta move these color TV's)
Look here, look here
 
I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Oh, man we could have some fun
 
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
He's bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free
 
We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these color TV's
 
Listen here
Now, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free
Money for nothin', chicks for free

Get your money for nothin', get your chicks for free (Ow, yeah)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (What's that?)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (Look at that, look at that)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV) (Bozos)
 
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)
Ow, money for nothin' and your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my MTV)

Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliet Lyrics

Dire Straits - Romeo And Juliet Video

Narrator:
A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
Says something like, You and me babe, how about it?
 
Juliet says, Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack
He's underneath the window, she's singing, Hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?
 
Romeo:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
 
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
 
Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah
Now you just say, Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him
 
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
 
I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
 
And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime
 
Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
 
Narrator:
And a lovestruck Romeo he sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
And says something like, You and me babe, how 'bout it?
 
Romeo:
You and me babe, how about it?
