Mark Knopfler - Scavengers Yard

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 (hahaha, haha) 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 Hello Yeah, boy Yeah, boy
