Knopfler, Mark - Good On You Son Lyrics






Flash goes a little hummingbird a dart and worried thread
At the screen door by his lemon tree out here with the quick and the dead
Designer blinds above LA frame the perfect view
It's gonna be another day of sun and shameless blue

By his cutting block the time has come for the fruit there by the juicer
He grinds fresh coffee for himself he's beaten our producer
LA Times lies on the stone warming there like bread
Hey what's not to like out here with the quick and the dead

Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two

You wanna know what happiness is in his eye is a hunter's gleam
Something to look forward to this cat's gonna get the cream
Skin of a mango is so smooth it's smoother than the devil
Cut it, slice it, chop it up to the rhythm of a cockney rebel

Back in Blighty there's a flat on a grimy sink estate
That's why he walked out of that and went to the Golden State
Left the backie and the beer where he was born and bred
Now he's cutting it out here with the quick and the dead

Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah
What would you have had him do
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah

Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah

    nice to hear songs from Mark that I didn't know....Didn't follow him after The Dire Straits, the band I fall in love with in 1978.:)

    . I could not listen anything about Mark Knopfler 10 years ago on Spanish radio music channels, until YouTube allow me listen new works. He is still doing nice music! He really has become to be King in its own musical mix influences. I've noticed changes on new musicians adding touches of jazz at his young legacy style with Dire Straits, Van Morrison, Santana, classic blues influences, a slow tempo rhythm make a very nice and easy to listen. But his voice and stylish touch has not changed nothing over the years, since the 90's I stop hear Dire Straits on the radio So, I have a strange feeling I'm still living on that old 80-90's radio that will never gone at all. To me, "Down The Road..." could be the next album I had listened on that radio I listened before "Brothers in arms". Mark Knopfler singles were hardly listened on any spaniard radio since then.

  56. S.... A....

    Triumph boneville. Moto légendaire anglaise !! Good on Her with this song ! Amasing !!

  57. O.... N....

    Hey Mark. Love "Down The Road Whereever" which I got for my birthday. So sorry that the scalpers got all of the tickets to your Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Woodinville, WA, USA, or my wife and I would be coming. Have a great tour and keep the music coming.
