    Lyrics:
    You get a shiver in the dark
    It’s raining in the park but meantime
    South of the river you stop and you hold everything
    A band is blowing Dixie double four time
    You feel all right when you hear that music ring
    You step inside but you don’t see too many faces
    Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
    Too much competition too many other places
    But not too many horns can make that sound
    Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
    You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
    Mind he’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing
    And an old guitar is all he can afford
    When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
    And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene
    He’s got a daytime job he’s doing alright
    He can play honky tonk just like anything
    Saving it up for Friday night
    With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
    And a crowd of young boys they’re fooling around in the corner
    Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
    They don’t give a damn about any trumpet playing band
    It ain’t what they call rock and roll
    And the Sultans played Creole
    And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
    And says at last just as the time bell rings
    ‘Thank you goodnight now it’s time to go home’
    and he makes it fast with one more thing
    ‘We are the Sultans of Swing'

      he's a great guitarist in the most untechnical and unsophisticated sense. i.e. if you're incapable of exploring guitar into the technical realms like metal and jazz, then it is incredibly easy to see why you think he can be such a candidate for one of the goats

      The problem with singing and playing is not about the chords, it's all abouth RYTHM.
      The right hand is what matters.
      If you pay attention, John Butler is always fingering a fast and repeated pattern when he's singing, except for a slower riff at some point. Nothing different than what Mark Knopfler is doing. They're both great musicians. Talent? I'd say it's more about practice till perfection.
      Also, Mark is left-handed but his right hand is incredible.
      Peace.

      I'm age 68, and while I love many of the songs from "our era" including this song, I also love recorded songs from every other era, from the 1920s to current, across and within all genres including Classical, Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Big Band, Rockabilly, RockNRoll, Surf, Latin, R&B, DooWop, Country, Soul, Rock, Hip Hop, show tunes, and even Sousa marches (as a guitarist, I play from them all).
      Tis always a matter of "in the eyes of the beholder" (or, in this case, "in the ears").
      Amusingly, the parents of us Boomers said THEY had the best music of all time; and our grandparents said that THEY had the best music during their era.
      "Musical prejudice" is okay...but to believe "the songs I like are the best songs ever made" is naive if not arrogant, dontcha think?

      ​@@joesantus1663 You're right. I'm 15 and from Spain, and this music can be clear and easily understood, even for a non-native speaker. Nowadays, and especially in Spain, where new musical genders like Latin trap and "Reggaetón" have appeared, this music is highly valuable, while Trap and Reggaetón are music that are not elaborated and with a simple, unworked rhythm base. This music is precious

The vocal sound from Mark fits perfectly with the mood the instruments create. Having a band that tight behind the lead guitar work of Mark, makes it perfection. There's no repetitions in the song. It's a complete story from the start to the end.

      same here I will be 50 next year, nothing compares to what we listened to, especially growing up my dad, who was depressed but loved music and cars

      Yeah... but do you know what the song is about? It's a true story. Read the back-story on this song, then listen to it again. I PROMISE you will be hearing this song in a whole new light--as if for the very first time! (You won't be disappointed either...)

      What about the sound guys the roadies the people who built the amps the engineers the luthiers the miners who got the metal the lumberjacks, Pythagoreas, and what about the cavemen who first played their bow as a harp why don't those people ever get credit either. That's what I'm wondering.

      I'm 52. I met this song when I was 16. I still dreams of playing guitar and drum like these sultans. This song still gives me the flow at the guitar climax.(from about 4:15)
