Mark Knopfler - Skydiver Lyrics
I’ve been banned from every racecourse in the country
There’s something about the unsure thing
Like scoring with a beauty of the county
It always makes the old bell ring
It’s got to be the unsure thing
In the Bentley Continental with the brandy
It always makes the old bell ring
And when it’s gone, all gone
I’ll stand on a hilltop and sing
I go where I want, I do what I want
And I don’t give a damn about a thing
Skydiver
Today I lost a packet at Wincanton
Dive Bomber in the 2.15
All on the nose and no-one counting
Nothing wishy-washy in between
Back when I made the pivotal decision
To take a winding road that I could see
It was just like being given an incredible permission
The rules don’t apply to me
And when it’s gone, all gone
I’ll stand on a hilltop and sing
I go where I want, I do what I want
And I don’t give a damn about a thing
Skydiver
I’m not being brave, it’s my money, not my life
When I need to take a break from the brushes and the knife
And I always took a fancy to the ones
Heading straight into the teeth of the guns
Skydiver

Mark knopfler is just fantastic
I’ve been banned from every racecourse in the country
There’s something about the unsure thing
Like scoring with a beauty of the county
It always makes the old bell ring
I like to go for broke and I’ll be randy
It’s got to be the unsure thing
In the Bentley Continental with the brandy
It always makes the old bell ring
And when it’s gone, all gone
I’ll stand on a hilltop and sing
I go where I want, I do what I want
And I don’t give a damn about a thing

Some musics of Mark are a kind of paradise, you listen to them as much as you whant and you cant stop. This for me is one of them. Fantastic!!
Sure!! joyful and hopeful and cosy.. makes me think a little to "my parties" from "on every street"..
hermoso!!
One of my favourite songs from Tracker ❤️
A suitable anthem for the "Brexit" negotiations? Seriously though, isn't Knopfler just fantastic?
He definitely is. Who needs all those ridiculous musicians you hear today? Mark's got all ya need.
It's got a very 70's Harrison feel to this...love it. In fact the intro sounds very similar to Harrisons I Want To Tell You off the Beatles Revolver record. Great song.
