Mark Knopfler Lyrics
Mark Knopfler was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 12th of
August 1949. He was around seven years old when the
Knopfler family moved to Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the
North-East of England. Mark attended Gosforth Grammar
School. As a young boy Mark was inspired by his uncle
Kingsley's harmonica and boogie-woogie piano playing.
Later, in his teens, he set his heart on an all too
expensive flamingo-pink Fender Strat, just like Hank
Marvin's, but in the end he had to settle for a £50
twin pick-up Hofner Super Solid and £50 was More...

Review about Mark Knopfler songs
Why ahy man | Reviewer: Macca
------ About the song Why Aye Man performed by Mark KnopflerBrilliant song, has to be sung with a goordie acsent. Today with the planting of Margret Thatcher a stark reminder of the anti-social attitude of extreme right wing politics. "I don't beleive in society" she said and by god she punished every one who did.
Like that | Reviewer: surfric
------ About the song Boom Like That performed by Mark KnopflerI was really curious about the lyrics, and did not make the McDonald's connection. When it is pointed out, yah, duh. Kroc with a K. Of course, with Mark there's always another level of mystery. Why is his name NOT kroc? What exactly is kroc-style? Just dog eat dog business? And what is "Boom like that", except a really great and weird lyric? We may never know.
Beautiful | Reviewer: Patti Kaselauskas
------ About the song Love and Happiness performed by Mark KnopflerI heard this cd in a store while shopping and this song stopped me in my tracks. It is perhaps the most beautiful song I've ever heard and I never get tired of it. It is the perfect song with which to send your child out into the world. It expresses our hopes and dreams and fears for our children with such lovely words and a hauntingly beautiful melody.
Great Guitarist | Reviewer: John P. from Canada
------ About the song What It Is performed by Mark KnopflerI've been a Dire Straits and Knopfler fan from the outset. This man can play guitar. 'What It is' reflects what Knopfler is all about - fantastic lyrics and great guitar licks. The song was used as the opening music for a show on the CBC radio station (here in Canada) - the show called Dispatches was a great piece of investigative journalism. I heard the music over and over again before I knew it was Knopfler. Well that's 'What is is'. I would love to see this guy in concert.
Dirty Dick is still in search of Little Nell | Reviewer: Why aye man
------ About the song What It Is performed by Mark KnopflerAnyone who knows Edinburgh and has been out on a weekend night will agree that this song is undoubtedly about Edinburgh, even pinpointing a particular hotel. In his writing Charles Dickens was very much inspired by his many visits to Edinburgh and the poverty he saw there - I'm sure as an English graduate MK will be very aware of that. In his reference to Dick and Nell I think he is alluding to the ghost of Charles Dickens still present in the city and still being disturbed by the surrounding poverty.
Boom Like That Lyrics | Reviewer: Juppeck
------ About the song Boom Like That performed by Mark KnopflerMark Knopfler was and is one a the outstanding musican i ever heard on a lead guitar. Sometimes i beleave that Fender create there Stratocaster just for him. The song "boom, like that" sound more than an old Dire-Straits song, as every other, he released in the past of the Dire-Straits era. I like this sound and i am very glad to her that song a couple of years ago as a live youtube video. I catched'em immediatly. A pitty is, that this is unavailable as a live recorded song.
Wall of Death | Reviewer: easystreet
------ About the song All The Roadrunning performed by Mark KnopflerYep, remember the WOD. Daredevil motorbike riders within a giant circular wall. Speed was the essence - in order to stay upright on the bike - otherwise you would end up down the well!
With lots of MK's analogies in his songs - it could have a double meaning, something he is a master at doing...
Certainly Among Mark's Best | Reviewer: Villebilly Pete
------ About the song What It Is performed by Mark KnopflerAnd there are many. In fact, the "Sailing to Philadelphia" album is chock full of great songs, great playing, great singing, great partners, etc. But this song, what can one say? It's classic MK, great melody and chord progression, amazing guitar bits, thoughtful lyrics, soulful vocals, incredible engineering (you can hear EVERYTHING). Like so much of his work, it's got it all! Eddie, atheist or not, the man is definitely blessed (and I'll bet he knows it, even if you don't). Re: "cold on the tollgate with the Caledonia blues", it's a typical MK tongue-in-cheek double entendre; there's a modern Scottish folk ballad called "Caledonia" from the 70s (underscoring the Scottish theme of the song) as well as an old jump blues tune by the same name (Caledonia! Caledonia!,What makes your big head so hard?)
Correction | Reviewer: Rey tum
------ About the song Why Aye Man performed by Mark KnopflerThis is a great song by mark.....the only song i love after if disbanded from dire straits......the second worse comprises of german buildings british made... But it is rather german built and british made.....because the region where mark knopfler talks about was a tribe region somewhere in north of england where the buildins where financed by germans and constructed by the britishers.............
Lyrics error? | Reviewer: Dave A
------ About the song Secondary Waltz performed by Mark KnopflerI believe "only got a little short song" should read "only got our little shorts on" - a reference to all secondary school PE lessons, irrespective of their nature, required wearing of PE uniform.
I had a PE teacher very much like McIntyre and this song beautifully describes my and many others' experiences in school gyms.
