Letra de ' Scavengers Yard ' de Mark Knopfler

‎‎I closed my eyes and made a wish
Lord, don’t let me lose this fish
Scored myself a genuine squillionaire
I'm the drawing room boy with the pinky ring
I'm here to sell you anything
I’ve got a brand new friend
And we’re doing a good job there

Thought he’d come down to sniff around
In my old blood-stained hunting ground
Walked right in, I never should have stayed
He’s taking all my sage advice
So keep it shut, you’ll get your slice
We do him both ends twice and we both get paid

In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
Come on down to where the tigers roar
In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
You’ll find me down on the killing floor

Now as someone I’d recommend
I bring you in, a dear old friend
Who knows just where there’s another shiny toy
It goes the way I want it to
There’s a major drink in this for you
Finder wins and seller too, old boy

He’s a greedy swine, he loves a steal
We tell him here’s one killer deal
I’ll hold his hand and a reaming there will be
I’ve let him know he’s number one
I’ve told him as a rule of thumb
I don’t trust anyone, not even me

Never had a sucker come on like this
He’s giving me arthritis
I feel like I have grown a set of claws
I'm not going to let this one slip
And I don’t intend to lose my grip
Now that I’ve got him in my jaws

In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
Come on down to where the tigers roar
In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
You’ll find me down on the killing floor
