All lyrics Mark Knopfler

[Mark Knopfler - Behind with the Rent lyrics]

This didn’t used to be me, old boy
This isn’t what I’d want
Pulling old night fighters in a restaurant

There’s smoke and flames behind me
Where the self-respect all went
And I’m behind, behind with the rent

I’ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son
But, I won’t be again hell hath no fury
Oh, I’m like a lot of men
Now I’m stalking this old Doris
With lascivious intent
And I’m behind, behind with the rent

Just a little duck and dive
And a bit of wheel and deal
She’ll remind me I’m alive
She’ll remind me I still feel

Just a little shelling out

For a bit of you-know-what
I know this is all about
Something that I never got

Well this crumpet’s past it’s sell-by date
But they all would qualify
They’re going to be lonely
And be happy to comply

She knows that I’m a chancer
Coming on like a gent
But, I’m behind, behind with the rent
Yes, I’m behind, behind with the rent
