Dire Straits sinds deze week dus.

Een goede song presenteren. Enkele die minder gekend zijn, maar daarom niet minder waard zijn. En ook omdat Bernard mijn volgende obvious choices al wegkaapte 😉

Lady writer blijkt, nu ik het hier opzoek, toevallig Dire Straits’ tweede single te zijn, na Sultans of Swing dus. Uit de prille beginjaren nog, een single genomen van hun tweede album, Communiqué. Dire Straits heeft het trouwens nooit van singles moeten hebben. Ze waren (zijn?) vooral album verkopers.

Lady writer on the tv
Talk about the virgin mary
Reminded me of you

The way you used to look
And I know you never read a book

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time, another place

Lady writer on the tv
She had all the brains and the beauty
The pictures does not fit
Youd talk to me when you felt like it

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place

Yes and your rich old man,
You know hed a call her a dead ringer
You got the same command
Plus your mother was a jazz singer

Just the way that her hair fell down around her face
And I recall my fall from grace
Another time another place

Lady writer on the tv
She knew all about a history
You couldnt hardly write your name
I think I want it just the same as the …

Lady writer on the tv
Talking about the virgin mary
You know Im talking about you and me
And the lady writer on the tv
Talking about the virgin mary
Yeah you know Im talking about you and me
And the lady writer on the tv
