Mark Knopfler - Postcards From Paraguay Lyrics
One thing was leading to the next
I bit off more than I could chew
I had the power to sign the cheques
It wasn't difficult to do
I couldn't stay and face the music
I won't be sending postcards
From Paraguay [x3]
I robbed a bank full of dinero
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
And cheerio
I couldn't stay and face the music
So many reasons why
From Paraguay [x3]
I never meant to be a cheater
But there was blood on the wall
I had to steal from peter
To pay what I owed to paul
I couldn't stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won't be sending postcards
From Paraguay [x3]

Mark Knopfler Postcards From Paraguay Comments
Another Knopfler classic. Postcards from "A land-locked country in South America" Bolivia? No, Paraguay. 😉😂
So goodbye "Compañero" 😜 Love it.....And I'm originally from Argentina. Grew up and live in Australia. Saw Dire Straits play in Melbourne in 1985. Life long Mark Knopfler- Dire Straits fan.
81 and still loving the music after 40 years god bless you mark
What is the meaning of the song?
Excellent song! I like it too much!!!!
Very nice.
The Mikhail Tal of Guitar.
Somebody mentioned it .,,we will not do that then.... 🙋
wunderschöne Musik, aber der Text passt gar nicht dazu...
Danke trotzdem lieber Mark, denn seit über 40 Jahren begleitest du mich musikalisch! Also eigentlich mein ganzes Leben lang! God bless you!
Solo el nos transporta al único paraíso que existe
The best
Your Special You ARE Mark. Well done carry on Geezza. Been there for us all of many of our lives you have for all of us. FanX xx Mark from LOADS of US.

Sooo schön 😊
We'el give it a go ...wtf
Seriously, does anyone pick cleaner than Mark?
Amazing song
Vous m’avez inspiré tout au long de ma vie et je porte votre musique dans ma chaire que Dieu vous bénisse from Algeria
Oh my god amazing artist
Esa guitarra es parte de mi vida
No me canso de escuchar sus canciones
Su trabajo y su capacidad de comunicación es lo más importante ahí está y ahí sigue
The master is like god
Tengo mi corazón dividido entre mark knopler y Los secretos
Never like the master
I like play guitar so never like him
Is my soul
Sorry so mark knopler is Like a god for all the people
Это просто Музыкальное Явление...Отголосок былой великой эпохи-Великих рок групп!
3:13 perfect better than in the original in my opinion
Hola from Paraguay ! 🤣
BRAVOOO!!! GREAT!!!!
Недавно смотрел по какому то российскому каналу рок концерты показали всех на свете,кроме Марка.
Где справедливость,или Марк не достоин по их мнению.
Хочу увидеть его концерты,пока я ещё живой.
Очень сильно меня цепляет эта композиция,один раз слушал 5 или 6 раз подряд ,перед сном люблю послушать хорошую музыку, но это ...просто выше крыши!Марк наверное лучший в своем амплуа,даже скорее всего,долгих лет ему!
Mark is one the best musicians alive today ....
Greatest artist
Absolutely brilliant
I love Mark Knopfler ❤️❤️❤️
Leggendario Mark Knopfler
❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stupenda! Dove si trova questo cd?
Best sounding line-up of Knopfler's band. Really not into all the wind instruments on the new tour. He doesn't need umpteen musicians to make his stuff sound good. Great to see DC on the drums and Dudley on the bass. What a great tune.
nukrass thmetouthiss valerie neqayasts !
i think mark is the best musician of our time
Hi Mark. Very nice guitar playing and I enjoy all of your songs. As I am one of your fans since Dire Straits in 90's. Warmest regards, postcards from Indonesia
Hey Mark trying to get in touch with you I said I would contact you in the future I am in Hawaii I helped you with the song money for nothing try to reach me
Since 1978, Every time i listen Mark Knopfler i admire the cleanless and warmness of his music. Had chances to watch him alive in Istanbul and in Rome. His music made the life more meaningfull. Long live Mark.
Отлично!
Paraguay? Where old dictators go to die. I have been there many times, often for days at a time. I never saw a reason to send a post card.
What should I say...
Anyone here other than me ever been to Paraguay? No? Nothing there but the Bush family remnants hiding out. Never saw a reason to send a postcard. Total shithole. Should fit GWB just fine.
Awesome
I guess this was the prelude song of the 2008 banking crash.
uma lenda dessa nao vem ao Brasil n Rok Rio😏
What is most impressive is the fact that Mark did take the time to study Andean chord progressions to write this. And he nailed it.
There is no one who is playing so relaxing as Sir Mark he is in my opinion the greatest 🎸🎸😘😎
Grande grande y único.
Absolutely beautiful piece from one of the most talented man on earth.
Я обожаю эту песню ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Parabéns Mark que eu possa ouvir por muitos e muitos anos o som de sua voz e guitarra maravilhosos.Seu trabalho é Magnífico!
I'm definitely in love with this island of Knopfler!
Que canção lindíssima!
Una musica che sfiora il divino ❤️Mark ti amo
He his the best god put on this planet and please listing to his music and relax and enjoy🎸🎸🎸🥁🎼
Just brilliant
