Mark Knopfler - Good on You Son lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - Good on You Son lyrics]
Flash goes a little hummingbird a
Dart and worried thread
At the screen door by his lemon tree out
Here with the quick and the dead
Designer blinds above LA frame
The perfect view
It's gonna be another day of
Sun and shameless blue
By his cutting block the time has come
For the fruit there by the juicer
He grinds fresh coffee for himself
He's beaten our producer
LA Times lies on the stone
Warming there like bread
Hey what's not to like out here
With the quick and the dead?
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
You wanna know what happiness is? In
His eye lives a hunter's gleam
Something to look forward to
This cat's gonna get the cream
Skin of a mango is so smooth
Smoother than the devil cut it, slice it
Chop it up to the rhythm of a cockney rebel
Back in Blighty there's a flat
On a grimy sink estate
That's why he walked out of that
And went to the Golden State
Left the backie and the beer where
He was born and bred
Now he's cutting it out here with
The quick and the dead
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
What would you have had him do
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah
Dart and worried thread
At the screen door by his lemon tree out
Here with the quick and the dead
Designer blinds above LA frame
The perfect view
It's gonna be another day of
Sun and shameless blue
By his cutting block the time has come
For the fruit there by the juicer
He grinds fresh coffee for himself
He's beaten our producer
LA Times lies on the stone
Warming there like bread
Hey what's not to like out here
With the quick and the dead?
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
You wanna know what happiness is? In
His eye lives a hunter's gleam
Something to look forward to
This cat's gonna get the cream
Skin of a mango is so smooth
Smoother than the devil cut it, slice it
Chop it up to the rhythm of a cockney rebel
Back in Blighty there's a flat
On a grimy sink estate
That's why he walked out of that
And went to the Golden State
Left the backie and the beer where
He was born and bred
Now he's cutting it out here with
The quick and the dead
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
What would you have had him do
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two
Good on you son, good on you a ha, oh yeah
Good on you son, good on you
The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah
