Mark Knopfler quote ✍️

Quote

I’m a maker of ballads right pretty I write them right here in the street You can buy them all over the cityyours for a penny a sheet I’m a word pecker out of the printersout of the dens of Gin Lane I’ll write up a scene on a counter- confessions and sins in the main, boysconfessions and sins in the main Then you’ll find me in Madame Geneva’skeeping the demons at bay There’s nothing like gin for drowning them inbut they’ll always be back on a hanging day, on a hanging day They come rattling over the cobblesthey sit on their coffins of black Some are struck dumb, some gabbletop-heavy on brandy or sack The pews are all full of fine fellowsand the hawker has set up her shop As they’re turning them off at the gallowsshe’ll be selling right under the drop, boysselling right under the drop Then you’ll find me in Madame Geneva’skeeping the demons at bay There’s nothing like gin for drowning them inbut they’ll always be back on a hanging day, on a hanging day
