Mark Knopfler - Skydiver lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - Skydiver lyrics]
I’ve been banned from every
Racecourse in the country
There’s something about the unsure thing
Like scoring with a beauty of the county
It always makes the old bell ring
I like to go for broke and I’ll be randy
It’s got to be the unsure thing
In the Bentley Continental with the brandy
It always makes the old bell ring
And when it’s gone, all gone
I’ll stand on a hilltop and sing
I go where I want, I do what I want
And I don’t give a damn about a thing
Skydiver
Today I lost a packet at Wincanton
Dive Bomber in the 215
All on the nose and no-one counting
Nothing wishy-washy in between
Back when I made the pivotal decision
To take a winding road that I could see
It was just like being
Given an incredible permission
The rules don’t apply to me
I’m not being brave, it’s my money
Not my life when I need to take a break
From the brushes and the knife
And I always took a fancy to the ones
Heading straight into the teeth of the guns
Racecourse in the country
There’s something about the unsure thing
Like scoring with a beauty of the county
It always makes the old bell ring
I like to go for broke and I’ll be randy
It’s got to be the unsure thing
In the Bentley Continental with the brandy
It always makes the old bell ring
And when it’s gone, all gone
I’ll stand on a hilltop and sing
I go where I want, I do what I want
And I don’t give a damn about a thing
Skydiver
Today I lost a packet at Wincanton
Dive Bomber in the 215
All on the nose and no-one counting
Nothing wishy-washy in between
Back when I made the pivotal decision
To take a winding road that I could see
It was just like being
Given an incredible permission
The rules don’t apply to me
I’m not being brave, it’s my money
Not my life when I need to take a break
From the brushes and the knife
And I always took a fancy to the ones
Heading straight into the teeth of the guns
