(m. knopfler) Producers: mark knopfler and neil dorfsman Album: break every rule (86)
Well I guess I've been a long time Working in a backline Trying to make a song fit When you know it never was mine Two dollar high-heel shoes and a honky tonk dress In the rhythm and the soul reviews I had a dream I guess
And I had to beat the stagefright I had to cry all night Trying to make a song fit When you know it never was right I said - girl, get up and get out of this mess You're gonna be an overnight sensation Gonna be an overnight success
And all through the badlands Rocking on the bandstands It's so hard in the barbands When there's no one there who understands And lady luck will pas you by and she will never say yes You're gonna be an overnight sensation Gonna be an overnight success
I used to be a sweet little rock'n'roll singer Chasing after fortune and fame What's your story? what's your payola? Me I'm in the music game
Well I guess I've been a long time Working in a backline Trying to make a song fit When you know it never was mine What can I tell you, I made a break I guess And now I'm an overnight sensation I'm an over overnight success
