[00:00.29]Mighty Man (Live) - Mark Knopfler
[00:03.10]
[01:13.23]A room on the top floor
[01:16.94]
[01:19.22]And the chest all but knackered
[01:22.62]
[01:25.20]Two fingers not working
[01:28.91]
[01:30.98]And the back's shot to hell
[01:33.29]
[01:37.06]It's a lifetime of digging trenches
[01:39.62]
[01:43.01]In the cold and wet weather
[01:46.47]
[01:49.04]And for laying half the roadway
[01:51.86]In england as well
[01:58.15]You'd finish in the one place
[02:01.30]
[02:03.75]It was straight to the next one
[02:06.10]
[02:09.63]And you never could settle
[02:13.34]
[02:15.32]And you were always alone
[02:17.33]
[02:21.40]Just a drifter in limbo
[02:23.76]
[02:27.25]I was best off away son
[02:30.70]
[02:33.22]Just one of the thousands
[02:36.01]Who could never go home
[02:38.45]
[02:42.01]That's your mighty man son
[02:45.71]
[02:47.88]Your mighty man
[02:50.30]
[02:53.83]Well the boat and the train ride
[02:57.23]
[02:59.59]In a misty november
[03:03.11]
[03:05.52]We had the worst of the lodgings
[03:09.27]
[03:11.23]And we hated the subs
[03:13.26]
[03:17.39]Ma's face on the leaving
[03:19.69]
[03:23.38]I will always remember
[03:25.87]
[03:29.29]And we wouldn't get paid
[03:31.52]Until they had closed up their pubs
[03:34.35]
[04:23.73]And I could stand up on horseback
[04:27.27]
[04:29.62]Was the man for the singing
[04:31.78]
[04:35.74]Put my hand up for boxing
[04:39.32]
[04:41.58]At the fairground on the heath
[04:44.40]
[04:47.49]I could play my accordion
[04:49.92]
[04:54.07]And charm all of the women
[04:55.42]
[04:59.51]And dance round the taproom
[05:02.27]With a chair in my teeth
[05:04.71]
[05:08.43]That's your mighty man son
[05:12.12]
[05:14.42]Your mighty man
[05:16.24]
[05:20.48]That's your mighty man son
[05:24.14]
[05:26.36]Your mighty man
