Dire Straits - On every street ( 1991 ; Mark Knopfler ) Calling Elvis Calling Elvis Is anybody home Calling Elvis I'm here all alone Did he leave the building Or can he come to the phone Calling Elvis I'm here all alone Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well Let me leave my number Heartbreak hotel Oh love me tender Baby don't be cruel Return to sender Treat me like a fool Calling Elvis Is anybody home Calling Elvis I'm here all alone Did he leave the building Can he come to the phone Calling Elvis I'm here all alone Why don't you go get him I'm his biggest fan You gotta tell him He's still the man Long distance baby So far from home Don't you think maybe you could put him on Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well Let me leave my number Heartbreak hotel Oh love me tender Baby don't be cruel Return to sender Treat me like a fool Calling Elvis Is anybody home Calling Elvis I'm here all alone Did he leave the building Or can he come to the phone Calling Elvis I'm here all alone On every street There's gotta be a record of you someplace You gotta be on somebody's books The lowdown - a picture of your face Your injured looks The sacred and profane The pleasure and the pain Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete And it's your face I'm looking for on every street A ladykiller - regulation tattoo Silver spurs on his heels Says - what can I tell you, as I'm standing next to you She threw herself under my wheels Oh it's a dangerous road And a hazardous load And the fireworks over liberty explode in the heat And it's your face I'm looking for on every street A three-chord symphony crashes into space The moon is hanging upside down I don't know why it is I'm still on the case It's a ravenous town And you still refuse to be traced Seems to me such a waste And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet And it's your face I'm looking for on every street When it comes to you If we can't get along we oughtta be apart And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart Set me free - sign my release I'm tired of being the villain of the piece You been givin' me a bad time Tell me what'd I do How come I always get a hard time Honey when it comes to you Sayin' things that you didn't have to How come I always get a hard time Honey when it comes to you You only get one life - this I know I wanna get my licks in now before I go The fire of love is dead and cold I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul And you been givin' me a bad time Tell me what'd I do How come I always get a hard time Honey when it comes to you Sayin' things that you didn't have to How come I always get a hard time Honey when it comes to you Fade to black I wonder where you are tonight You're probably on the rampage somewhere You have been known to take delight In gettin' in somebody's hair And you always had the knack Fade to black I bet you already made a pass I see a darkened room somewhere You run your finger round the rim of his glass You run your fingers through air hair They scratch across his back Fade to black Well maybe it's all for the best But I wish I'd never been lassooed Maybe it's some kind of test But I wish I'd never been tattooed Or been to hell and back Fade to black The bug Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go You're standing on the throttle You're standing on the brakes In the groove 'til you make a mistake Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad Because you're gonna know lonely And you're gonna know bad When you're rippin' and a ridin' and you're coming on strong You start slippin' and a slidin' and it all goes wrong, because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all One day you got the glory Then you got none One day you're a diamond And then you're a stone Everything can change In the blink of an eye So let the good times roll Before we say goodbye, because Sometimes you're the windshield Sometimes you're the bug Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're a fool in love Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby Sometimes you're the ball Sometimes it all comes together baby Sometimes you're going lose it all You and your friends Will you and your friend come around Are you and your friend gonna get on down Will you and your friend come around Or are you and your friend gonna let me down If you talk to one another I'm a hungry man Let me know one way or the other So I can make my plans Will you and your friend come around Or are you and your friend gonna get on down Will you and your friend come around Or are you and your friend gonna get on down I relive the situation Still see it in my mind You got my imagination Working overtime Heavy fuel Last time I was sober, man I felt bad Worst hangover that I ever had It took six hamburgers and scotch all night Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right 'Cos if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel My life makes perfect sense Lust and food and violence Sex and money are my major kicks Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks 'Cos if you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel My chick loves a man who's strong The things she'll do to turn me on I love the babes, don't get we wrong Hey, that's why I wrote this song I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead When my ugly big car won't climb this hill I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill 'Cos if you wanna run cool If you wanna run cool Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run On heavy, heavy fuel Iron hand With all the clarity of dream The sky so blue, the grass so green The rank and file and the navy blue The deep and strong, the straight and true The blue line they got the given sign The belts and boots march forward in time The wood and leather the club and shield Swept like a wave across the battlefield Now with all the clarity of dream The blood so red, the grass so green The gleam of spur on chestnut flank The cavalry did burst upon the ranks Oh the iron will and iron hand In England's green and pleasant land No music for the shameful scene That night they said it had even shocked the queen Well alas we've seen it all before Knights in armour, days of yore The same old fears and the same old crimes We haven't changed since ancient times Ticket to heaven I can see what you're looking to find In the smile on my face In my peace of mind In my state of grace I send what I can To the man from the ministry He's a part of heaven's plan And he talks to me Now I send what I can to the man With the diamond ring He's a part of heaven's plan And he sure can sing Now it's all I can afford But the lord has sent me eternity It's to save the little children In a poor country I got my ticket to heaven And everlasting life I got a ride all the way to paradise I got my ticket to heaven And everlasting life All the way to paradise Now there's nothing left for luxuries Nothing left to pay my heating bill But the good lord will provide I know he will So send what you can To the man with the diamond ring They're tuning in across the land To hear him sing I got my ticket to heaven And everlasting life I got a ride all the way to paradise I got my ticket to heaven And everlasting life All the way to paradise My parties Well this is my back yard My back gate I hate to start my parties late Here's the party cart Ain't that great ?
