Knopfler, Mark - Early Bird Lyrics

Beautiful song. And beautiful photo, too!

If only that your pronunciation of English is understood fully by me, how much more I can enjoy your music, Mark Knopfler. Make some songs for us Indians, Never mind if it is also in KANNADA. Bangalore crowd will get esthetic

😎☠️....💩🐻

one of my best singer his voice magical always love to listen mark knopfler songs

Early bird catches the worm...

Got no books in my house
got no time for those
No room in my closets
closet's full of clothes

Garage full of wheels babe
boat house full of boat
The lifestyle ideal babe
that's what gets my vote
All the Villa's on the hillsides
gotta have a view of the sea
Villas of the empire
way back in history

They have slaves for
the galleys and the kitchens
Gardens and the vines
slaves for the beautiful people
Bring water food and wine

A slave to tie your bib
another one to carry it
So now I'll take my crib
I dig my chariot dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home, dig my crib
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home

England calls me vulgar
I'd call myself refined
Good bye old England
Simon's off to sunny climes
Look who's doin it now babe look who's doin it now
Look who's doin it now babe look who's doin it now

Always was an early bird
with something on the side
Better buy this better buy that
maybe let that baby ride
Out here every day it's hot
and I'm talking to my men
Working this working that
working on my master plan

A slave to tie my bib
another one to carry it
So now I'll take my crib
I dig my chariot dig my crib

And my long black Cadillac, coming forth to carry me home, dig my crib
And my long black Cadillac coming forth to carry me home

Now here's the hot-tub
here's the gym
Here's the pool that I swam in
Up the stairs my footprints led
to the bedroom to my bed
Up the stairs my footprints led
to where I lay my bosom head

Sleep the long sleep of the dead
I'm an early bird that's what I said

Early bird
Early bird
Oh I'm an early bird

Everything he touches turns to gold, the man with the midus touch

I had to snooze the alarm this morning, could have done with a couple more hours, I think I’m ready for my hols 😴😴😴

JJ Cale would be proud...

❤❤❤

Still timeless😎!!

This is fav english song

Linda, adoro. Um bj.

Dire straits, ??????
Posh pumps, and socks, has this guy seen a days work????
He plays ok, hope it didn’t upset his college results, bet the fucker will be running a country soon, the rich n retarded usually do

I don't think you know about Knopfler at all if you say such bollocks

Mac J Well said, another moron showing everyone that that’s just what they are!!!

Great Song mister knopfler.

Simply wonderful. Exquisite guitar, soulfully written. Mark Knopfler magnifica, Amazing, Brilliant. He's the best, genius and the best composers ever. Mark your songs Touches the Soul and reminds me my youth days.

The early bird may get the worm, but it is the second mouse that will get the cheese ;)

Look at me Look at me. Listen to me too! Correct me if I am wrong. songi s about simon cowell

Et ce matin encore, je trouve cette composition Géniale ! Knopfler est si subtil !

I love you Mark! Clearly, this one came out on some rugby-watching afternoon! "Chariots" +"coming for to carry me home" --- swing low? :) lovely anyway

Happy life to you master, great you are mark

by all means correct me if I'm wrong but did I hear a stand up bass?

Look at me Look at me. Listen to me too! Correct me if I am wrong!

sublime

One of my favourite Mark's songs

A German proverb reads/talks this poem :
" The early bird will catch the worm, the early cat will catch the bird, the early dog will catch the cat, the early man walks the dog on the lead..."

And last and finally : The wife leads the husband :-) ~~~~> Hey !
True, ain't it ? You agree, don't you ?

Cordially from old Germany,
Rainer

German People are pragmactic !

sorry, Pragmatic ! ( good morning to the ones who haven't got yet their first cup of tea..)

Uff... Nareszcie zdjęcie, gdzie Mark Knopfler pięknie się uśmiecha!!! :)) Piosenka super! Dzięki!!! :)

piosenkaj jak na MK srednia ale uśmiech.zgoda

Adel H. Toujours impressionnant. M.K est un génie de la guitare.

best sone ever

Great Song!

iI like it

In other words, 'What shall if profit a man'?

Спасибо, отличная подборка.

This sums up Simon Cowell perfectly. Mark you genius.

he (DS and solo) sold an estimated 120 million records, won numerous awards and contributed to a total of 112 records. all very well deserved by this fine gent

not given proper recognition?

well 'unheard' may be a lil drastic ;-) but i get you, the world would be a better place if everyone listened to his music and lyrics

Someone should go to the shows where Simon Cowell is judging in and sing this in the last songs if someone would get so far and sing this to the end xD

Belle balade !

so many great and clever songs by this genius often go unheard. What a fukin shame!

I get to see Mark and Bob Dylan in Seattle on 13 Oct. No problem if Bob backs out sick.

I really want Simon Cowell to hear this 1. so he can actually here real talent and music for a change and 2. so he can appreciate that even famous genius musicians like Knopfler think he's a dick.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEE THISSSS SONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is outstanding! How on earth did Mark leave it off Get Lucky!?

awesome wonder I never heard it?

@ClyderSkyner there is more than one person in this word called Jerry! But yes, it's quite likely that it IS springer.
Knopfler's music is meant to be my specialist subject-how embarrassing not to know a thing like that

@magicelliotth Take a look of the "El Macho" lyrics: "you look like a fine thing Jerry...". Devil Baby is about Springer, indeed.

@ClyderSkyner El Macho isn't about Springer.
You're thinking of Devil Baby

It's one of mark's songs-about-jerks kind. Like Money for Nothing, El Macho (Jerry Springer), and so.

Thumbs up if you want him to write a song about Jeremy Clarkson...

That's what is.

I'm in sigle legged seaman.What kind a good song this is!

A true master, with God given talent!

so cool have a wine and relax , listen to the master. They don't make them anymore?

Lately I've become a huge fan of this guy. He is just too kool fer school...

Mark is a good guitarist, songwriter, stage artist and he has so much creativity. the whole package, Simon gat to admit that.

This is the best song in Get Lucky

jplanellesc just good??? He is a genius songwriter and guitarist. 67 and still going strong with this beautiful music.

bful wordsmith and muscian.

Mark Knopfler is God

Thanks for posting this - I got the CD but not with the bonus tracks. This is a really good song.

it's so unbelievably beautiful ;´)

It remenbers me My Parties song from On Every Street. It's a song about posh people.

yo tampoco me explico como este tema no lo incluyó en el album. A lo mejor es una estrategia para que la compremos por iTunes

Que pedazo de tema!!! Como es posible que no este en el disco??? Es la primera vez que escucho una cancion de Mark Knopfler con una base musical de sintetizadores de fondo. Nunca deja de sorprenderme el Alopecico de Dios.

Yes - and Mark - please release all your songs on physical media! iTunes is not available worldwide!!! This is segregation.

So cool that this song is about Simon Cowell :-)

absolut excellent

the best song from get lucky

yo las tengo jejej todas!!!!!!!!

Thankyou for upload Granada28...
Wonderfull Song...I've read more on this work of Mark...a great song! :)
