Dire Straits - Alchemy: Dire Straits Live (Remastered)

Solid Rock - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983

Well, now take a look at that, I made a castle in the sand
I'm singing, "This is where it's at, y'all couldn't understand now"
If I realised the chances were slim
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

Gonna live, solid rock
Gonna live, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
Gonna live on solid rock

You know, I'm sick of potential, I'm sick of vanity now
Sticking to essential reality now
I don't know what's worse, you're tryna make a silk purse
Living an illusion, livin' in confusion

Gonna live, solid rock
Gonna live, (solid rock)
Wanna give, I don't wanna feel blocked
Gonna live on the solid rock

You know, a house of cards, never built for shock
You could blow it down in any kind of weather
Take two solid blocks, two solid rocks
You know they're gonna stick
They're gonna stick together, alright

Yeah, because the heart that you break, that's the one that you rely on
The bed that you make, it's the one you gotta lie on
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through
You got three more fingers pointing back at you, yeah

Gonna live on solid rock
Gonna live, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
Gonna live on solid

Rock, rock, solid rock
Rock, rock, solid rock
I wanna give, I don't wanna be blocked
And I'm gonna live on solid rock

Thank you
