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
So many reasons why
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
I won't be sending postcards

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
  1. L.... E....

    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.

  32. G.... Y....

    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.

  33. �.... �....

    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!

    ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  40. G.... P....

    Stupenda! Dove si trova questo cd?

  41. T.... 1....

    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.

  42. T.... M....

    nukrass thmetouthiss valerie neqayasts !

  43. F.... A....

    i think mark is the best musician of our time

  44. D.... W....

    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

  45. e.... g....

    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

  46. A.... K....

    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.

  47. T.... D....

    Отлично!

  48. F.... M....

    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.

  49. C.... M....

    What should I say...

  50. F.... M....

    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.

  51. 2.... ....

    Awesome

  52. E.... S....

    I guess this was the prelude song of the 2008 banking crash.

  53. E.... P....

    uma lenda dessa nao vem ao Brasil n Rok Rio😏

  54. L.... ....

    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.

  55. P.... d....

    There is no one who is playing so relaxing as Sir Mark he is in my opinion the greatest 🎸🎸😘😎

  56. T.... A....

    Grande grande y único.

  57. G.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful piece from one of the most talented man on earth.
