Two Pairs Of Hands
Mark Knopfler
We are the roller coaster piling along
The power and the glory with the song
Holy moly, when did the time go?
I told you, baby, now you know
I'm keeping the balls in the air
When I'm up here on the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
Still be trying to understand
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
There's a pin-drop, they follow a thread
And a lone voice cries out overhead
When the thunder bursts in the velvet night
There's joy and wonder and delight
I'm keeping the balls in the air
Tryna keep up with the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
I might get covered by the drifting sand
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
They're back in the streets and into the bars
The trams and the trains and back in their cars
Holy moly, when did the time go?
I told you baby, now you know
I'm keeping the balls in the air
Tryna keep up with the band
There'll be a little bit here and there
Might get covered by the drifting sand
But they'll all be in the air
When I'm up here on the band
What it is, I'm juggling here
I've only got two pairs of hands
Cleaning My Gun
Mark Knopfler
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, back to the wall
I like to know who's coming through the door, that's all
It's the old army training kicking in
I'm not complaining, it's the world we live in
Blarney and Malarkey, they're a devious firm
Take you to the cleaners and let you burn
The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen, thanks a lot
We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got
Hidden below the radar
They want to spoil our fun
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
Tap the stone glass now and then
We got a case of old damnation
For when you get here, my friend
We can have ourselves
A party before they come
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
We had women and a mirror ball, we had a DJ
He used to eat pretty much all that came his way
Ever since the goons came in took apart the place
I keep a tire iron in the corner just in case
Hang a little magic bullet on a little chain
Keep me safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain
We're gonna might need bullets should we get stuck
Any which way, we're gonna need a little luck
You can still get gas in heaven
And drink in kingdom come
In the meantime
I'm cleaning my gun
