Mark Knopfler - Gravy Train (Remastered 2021)

Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories Riding on the gravy train All of the places that they really ought to be Riding on the gravy train Past the coal mines black and scarred The slaughterhouses and the loading yards On the gravy train, on the gravy train There's the lucky little mothers in the luxury cars Riding on the gravy train Never thank each other or their lucky stars Riding on the gravy train What's worse than ingratitude Worse than a piss poor attitude On the gravy train, on the gravy train Ah the ganger-uppers and the hangers-on Riding on the gravy train Champagne suppers with the daggers all drawn Riding on the gravy train Some act tough, some act rude Some bit of fluff complains about the food You want to see a body getting really crude Get on the gravy train, gravy train Well the golden goose is clattering down the track And they're gonna be riding in an old caboose Coming back There's the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade Riding on the gravy train Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade Riding on the gravy train A freeloader licks my boot Tell me how he digs my suit You got lucky son, don't get cute Get on the gravy train
