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...

BOY MEETS BURGER | Reviewer: JIM GIBSON
    ------ About the song Boom Like That performed by Mark Knopfler

You can believe this or not.Its a very long story but the song where it says he opened up across the street.Mark Knopfler is talking about when Ray Kroc opened up acroos the street from the McDonalds bros the BIG M after they sold they stayed in biz,something Kroc did not plan on! So he opened up I was a 5 year old kid ! I lived right behind the new McDonalds Kroc was walking around the block ,spotted me climbing a tree.The rest is history I ate the first burger produced from that place I have a spot in the McDonalds museum where the 8x10 photo of myself JIM GIBSON eating that Burger standing with RAY KROC and the Mayor of San Bernardino,Calif

By Chance | Reviewer: Eddie O'Byrne
    ------ About the song What It Is performed by Mark Knopfler

Whilst I agree with those who say Mark is a genius and such, I, being an atheist can't go along with some super power blessing him with such a talent. I have played guitar for 54 years, and if I played another 54 I don't think I will come any where near his talent. What he has was primarily by chance, and he worked at it to polish it up.I have pretty near everything he's done, and just when you think he's done everything he can, he comes up with another brilliant work of art, none less than "What it is". Long life to the man, so he can do more of the same.

Clapton?! Knopfler is in his own class! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Boom Like That performed by Mark Knopfler

Somebody said it sounds like clapton!? What!? Did Clapton write Sultans of Swing!? I don't think so!!! Nobody sounds like Knopfler, Knopfler sounds like Knopfler. hehe. You need to listen better. Powerful song by the way. The guys a genius (Knopfler, not Kroc, Kroc was an asshole). Claptons ok as a guitarist, but for musicality, you can't beat Mark. The man is TUNED IN.

Any in particular | Reviewer: tim sullivan
    ------ About the song Iron Hand performed by Mark Knopfler

I love this song, sad as it may or may not be.
Mark has a good command of the deep and dark drums on this one. Not saying he played them just the product as a whole is really moving.
If my CD player was a turn table I'd have a hole in that track by now. SO is it about any particular battle or all battles?

    ------ About the song What It Is performed by Mark Knopfler

when i was 8 i started listening to MK songs. The main thing is that he got a great blessing from God. GOD IS WITH HIM. All his songs are really great and meaningful. No man born like MK. "Ticket to hevean" teach me about tithes. His voice with E. Harris is really amazing. I can never forget the meaning of the songs. Thanks for the great songs. I got all the songs. God bless you. Your Great fan and listener "Awungshi Mayonmi Zimik".

MY FAV SONG | Reviewer: Ali Sheikh
    ------ About the song Sultans of Swing performed by Mark Knopfler

I have been searching for this song for a long long time. If I recall, I had watched the video almost 6/7 years ago on MTV. Since then, I was simply mad about the song. Still I listened to the song daily I don't know how many times.
I love this song. Thanks mark for making such a marvellous song.
