Lyrically Speaking for June 30
Today's Lyrically Speaking is a day late and a dollar short. I had wanted to get a post up for everyone but just never got around to it. I work on Sunday's so blogging does interfere at times with that pesky day job. I figure you guys want some new musical inspiration anyway, so with that said, lets dive right on in.
If you're into 80's music (as I am) then you know the band Dire Straights. This band came to fame with such hits as Money For Nothing and Brothers In Arms. I wanted to feature a song that has good lyrics but also a good melody. The opening to Walk Of Life is great for setting any mood. The song picks up and carries you through some great words but also some great music. The song is typical 80's but sometimes that is just what we need. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
From Dire Straights, this is Walk Of Life:
Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-bop-a-lua, baby what I say Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication devotion Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin woman He do the song about the knife He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny and hell tell you the story Hand me down mu walkin shoes Here come johnny with the power and the glory Backbeat the talkin blues He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication devotion Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin woman He do the song about the knife He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-bop-a-lula, baby what I say Here comes johnny singing I gotta woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay He got the action, he got the motion Yeah the boy can play Decidation devotion Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk Theres just a song in the trouble and the strife You do the walk, you do the walk of life
