Dire Straits - News Lyrics
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
You know it may be a game
He's burning the grass
He take up a glass
He swallow it neat
He crosses the floor
He open the door
He take a sniff of the street
And she tell him that he's crazy
She's a-saying listen baby
She tell him that he's crazy
For gambling a-with his life
But he climbs on his horse
You know he feel no remorse
He just kicks it alive
His motor is fine
He take it over the line
Until he's ready to dive
And she tell him that he's crazy
Yes she's saying listen baby
I'm your wife
Yeah She tell him that he's crazy
For gambling with his life
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
You know it may be a game
Ah but I won't play to lose
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He's too fast to stop
He take it over the top
He make a line in the news

Whats all the *sip* comments about... I NEED to know?
look into "30 year old boomer"
La mia famiglia oggi è finita, fuori piove, dentro pure. È tutto finito ed io non so più come respirare.
...... se vuoi respirare ascolta once upon time in the west di Mk., stesso album...... anche la pioggia finisce.......
There's a magic that happens between Mark and his Guitar. It cannot be duplicated. From all the hours I lay on my bed when I started listening to these guys back in 1978 when I was 10, to today when I sit here at my desk working on a project while I tell my own 11 year old, with a little water in my eyes, what this band means to me, that indescribable feeling that I get when I listen to them is ever the same.
A metal fan I will always be. But nothing compares to a good stack of Dire Straights on a long night.
always loved this song
when i listen to this song i say nothing for i feel its speaks as me to myself, as a reflection of what ive done
I don't want to ever forget.
Unforgettable old times.
Beautiful tone and solo
so good!! my bset song!!
A great follow up to the SULTANS OF SWING... despite not always getting the praise it deserves!
* *cracks open a discontinued monster he has been saving* *
one last time old friend...
"they don't make things like they used to"
Had this song in my head the day I crashed my motorbike. Maybe I just shouldn't have swung a leg over that day eh?
Melancholia
Boomer as in baby boomer? as in hippie generation? Well the hippie generation failed, their promise of Peace and Love Failed, died. Hippies became yuppies and the drive for $$$ was on. Thanks a lot!
Practically every generation fails ..
LOVE DIER STRATS THEYRE THE GR8EST ...... DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO ...... BACONATOR GEORGIA

I'm mean like memes aside but dire straits was a very good band, their music was diverse and mark knopfler's style was exceptional
26 yo here, proud boomer..
….take the shine off his shoes!
I was 21 when I first heard this song. That was 41 years ago and it still has not lost it's cool.
I adore Knopfler's solo on this track. Short but VERY soulful and tasty, he is such an amazing guitarist
I feel ashamed for not finding this song sooner in life
Damn this music brings up memories of the good old days
Probably the best song about the two wheeled life
fuck the boomers
