Mark Knopfler - Border Reiver lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - Border Reiver lyrics]
Southern bound from Glasgow town
She's shining in the sun
I'm ensconced in mercy, on the border run
We're whistling down the hillsides and
Tearing up the climbs
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border Reiver
Three hundred thousand on the clock
And plenty more to go crashbox and lever
She needs the heel and toe
Shes not too cold in winter but
She cooks me in the heat
I'm a six foot driver but
You can adjust the seat in the Border Reiver
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
The ministry don't worry me
My paperworks alright they can't touch me
I got my sleep last night
Its knocking out a living wage
In nineteen sixty nine
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border Reiver
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
She's shining in the sun
I'm ensconced in mercy, on the border run
We're whistling down the hillsides and
Tearing up the climbs
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border Reiver
Three hundred thousand on the clock
And plenty more to go crashbox and lever
She needs the heel and toe
Shes not too cold in winter but
She cooks me in the heat
I'm a six foot driver but
You can adjust the seat in the Border Reiver
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
The ministry don't worry me
My paperworks alright they can't touch me
I got my sleep last night
Its knocking out a living wage
In nineteen sixty nine
I'm just a thiever, stealing time
In the Border Reiver
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
Sure as the sunrise
That's what they say about the Albion
She's an Albion, she's an Albion
