It's wonderful to have a band like Dire Straits in the world.

No, I do, because you ask somebody, "Do you like Dire Straits?"

If they say, "Yeah, they're great,"

you know they're a stupid git and want their head shutting in a door!

# The grass grows greener on the other side

# The corn grows sweeter on the other side

# I watch, now I watch, now I watch and I see too much

# There's something in my head grows too much

# In my soul

# There's something inside my hole

# In my hole

# In my hole

# In my hole

# I sit through it mystified

# Sweat gets cooler, but so refined

# And I want to see

# I want to be... #

HIS WORDS ARE INDISTINCT

# I got a space in my soul

# There's something there inside my hole

# In my hole

# In my hole

Aquarius - "A woman could be a nag." Wonder who that could be in MY life?

# Honey, why you always smile when you see me hurt so bad?

# Tell me what I did to you, baby, that could make you act like that

# Well, I've been your fool before, honey

# Yeah, and I probably will again

# Cos you ain't afraid to let me have it

# No, you ain't afraid to stick it in

# Well, you know so many

# Ways to be wicked

# But you don't know one little thing about love

# Well, I can take a little pain

# Yeah, I can hold it pretty well

# I can watch your little eyes light up, honey

# While you're walking me to hell

# I've been your fool before, baby

# I probably will again

# Cos you ain't afraid to let me have it

# You ain't afraid to stick it in

# Well, you know so many

# Ways to be wicked

# Yeah, but you don't know one little thing

# About love

# Those cold blue eyes

# Lie with a smile

# Baby, you take pride

# In the devil down inside

# Well, I can take a little pain

# Yeah, I can hold it in

# I can watch your little eyes light up, honey

# While you're walking me to hell

# Well, I've been your fool before, baby

# Yeah, and I guess I probably will again

# Cos you ain't afraid to let me have it

# No, you ain't afraid to stick it in

# Well, you know so many

# Ways to be wicked

# Yeah, but you don't know one little thing about love

# Well, you know so many

# Ways to be wicked

# Yeah, but you don't know one little thing

# About what it's really all about

# No, no! #

Are you going back in your box?

-I don't want to!

-You've got to, cos there's a fantastic video coming up.

Let's all sit back and watch this.

# Under blue moon I saw you

# So soon you'll take me

# Up in your arms

# Too late to beg you or cancel it

# Though I know it must be killing time

# Unwillingly mine

# Fate

# Up against your will

# Through the thick and thin

# He will wait until

# You give yourself to him

# In starlit nights I saw you

# So cruelly you kissed me

# Your lips a magic world

# Your sky all hung with jewels

# The killing moon

# Will come too soon

# Fate

# Up against your will

# Through the thick and thin

# He will wait until

# You give yourself to him

# Under blue moon I saw you

# So soon you'll take me

# Up in your arms

# Too late to beg you or cancel it

# Though I know it must be killing time

# Unwillingly mine

# Fate

# Up against your will

# Through the thick and thin

# He will wait until

# You give yourself to him. #

We're The Bangles, here in space,

and you're watching us on It's Great.

# The old paintings on the tombs do the sand dance, don't you know?

-# If you move too quick,

-Oh, wey-oh

# You're falling down like a domino

# All the bazaar men by the Nile they got their money on a bet

-# Gold crocodiles,

-Oh-wey-oh

# They snap their teeth on your cigarette

# Foreign types with hookah pipes say...

# Wey-oh wey-oh wey-oh wey-ohhh

# Walk like an Egyptian

# The waitresses take their trays They spin around and cross the floor

-# They've got the moves

-Oh-wey-oh

# Drop your drink then bring you more

# School kids sick of books like the punk and the metal bands

-# When the buzzer rings

-Oh-wey-oh

# They're walking like an Egyptian

# All the kids in the market place say...

# Wey-oh wey-oh wey-oh wey-ohhh

# Walk like an Egyptian

# Slide your feet, bend your back Shift your arm then pull it back

-# Life is hard, you know

-Oh-wey-oh

# So strike a pose on a Cadillac

# If you want to find the cops They hang out in the doughnut shop

-# They sing and dance

-Oh-wey-oh

# Spin the clubs, cruise the block

# All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin

-# And the Chinese know

-Oh-wey-oh

# They walk the line like Egyptians

# The cops in the doughnut shop say...

# Wey-oh wey-oh wey-oh wey-ohhh

# Walk like an Egyptian

The really exciting thing about this show is that it's live.

It's happening right here, right now. Look, I've got today's paper, see?

And look at the time!

# Yesterday I got so old

# I felt like I could die

# Yesterday I got so old

# It made me want to cry

# Go on, go on, just walk away

# Go on, go on, your choice is made

# Go on, go on and disappear

# Go on, go on, away from here

# I know I was wrong when I said it was true

# That it couldn't be me and be her in between without you

# Without you

# Yesterday I got so scared

# I shivered like a child

# Yesterday, away from you

# It froze me deep inside

# Come back, come back, don't walk away

# Come back, come back, come back today

# Come back, come back Can't you see?

# Come back, come back, come back to me

# I know I was wrong when I said it was true

# That it couldn't be me and be her in between without you

# Without you

# Without you

# Without yoo-oo-ou

# Without yoo-oo-ou

# Without you

# Without yoo-oo-ou. #

-PETER YORK:

-Everybody can't be stylish. If they try,

-they'll be unhappy.

-Where do you get it from?

You DON'T get it.

Some people have it.

Those who don't should just obey the law

and look after their children.

# There was a guy

# An underwater guy who controlled the sea

# Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge

# From New York and New Jersey

# We'll all take turns I'll get mine too

# This monkey's gone to heaven

# This monkey's gone to heaven

# This monkey's gone to heaven

# Walking on the shore

# If man is five if man is five

# If man is five

Last night I sat down to make a list of the great bands of the 1980s.

Bands whose influence would endure.

After an hour I had a sheet with only one name on it - The Smiths.

# Sweetness, sweetness

# I was only joking when I said I'd like to

# Smash every tooth in your head

# Oh, sweetness

# Sweetness, I was only joking

# When I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed

# And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

# Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

# As the flames rose to her Roman nose

# And her Walkman started to melt

# Big mouth, la de do da-da

# Big mouth, la de do-da

# Big mouth strikes again

# I've got no right to take my place with the human race

# Oh oh oh oh

# Big mouth, la de do da-da

# Big mouth, la de do-da

# Big mouth strikes again

# I've got no right to take my place with the human race

# And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

# Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

# As the flames rose to her Roman nose

# And her hearing aid started to melt

# Big mouth, la de do da-da

# Big mouth, la de do-da

# Big mouth strikes again

# I've got no right to take my place with the human race

# Oh oh oh oh

# Big mouth, heh heh hoo ha-ha

# Big mouth, la de do-da

# Big mouth strikes again

# I've got no right to take my place with the human race

# Oh oh oh oh

# Big mouth, heh heh hoo ha-ha

# Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You know, people often say to me,

"Larry, oh, Larry,

"What exactly is a sudden ending?"

And I say...

MUSIC: Perfect Skin by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

# I choose my friends only far too well

# I'm up on the pavement

# They're all down in the cellar

# With their government grants

# And my IQ

# They brought me down to size

# Academia blues

# Louise is a girl

# I know her well

# She's up on the pavement

# Yeah she's a weather girl

# And I'm staying up here

# So I may be undone

# She's inappropriate

# But then she's much more fun and

# When she smiles my way

# My eyes go out in vain

# She's got perfect skin

# Shame on you

# You've got no sense of grace

# Shame on me

# Ah just in case

# I might come to a conclusion

# Other than that which is absolutely necessary

# And that's perfect skin... #
