Sultans Of Swing - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983

Yeah, get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park, but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything, c'mon now

A band is blowing Dixie, double four time
Yeah, you feel alright when you hear the music ring
Yeah

Well, now you're stepping inside
But you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain, they hear the jazz go down

Competition, too many other places
Yeah, but the horns they're blowin' that sound
They're blowin' that

Way on down south
Way on down south
London town

Check it out guitar George
Now he knows all them fancy chords
He just rhythm
Gonna make that guitar cry, or make it sing

They said an old guitar is just all he can afford
When he gets up under them coloured lights
Gonna play that thing

And Harry doesn't mind
If he doesn't make that fancy scene
Got a daytime job, he's doing quite alright, thank you very much

Do the honky tonk just like anything
Savin' it up, for Friday night

With the Sultans
We're the Sultans of Swing

Said a crowd of boys
They're just foolin' around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their baggies
And their best King's Road

Don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band
'Cause it ain't what they callin' rock and roll

The Sultans
Oh yeah, the Sultans they play creole

And the man he just steps right up to the microphone
He says, "At last" just as the time bell rings

"Thank you, goodnight, now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast, just one more thing

We are the Sultans
Yeah, we are the Sultans of Swing
