Mark Knopfler - My Claim To Fame (Remastered 2021)

Well he's a big star now But I've been a fan of his for years The way he sings and play guitar Still bring me to tears I wouldn't want to be a big deal Wouldn't want to be a celebrity Spend my life building ships of steel That's all there ever was for me I'd take a hammer to the sea bell And shout my name And I'll sail the sea free as the breeze That's my claim to fame He spends his life in the studio Jet planes and big black cars Plays records on the radio In all of the clubs and in all of the bars In my day you didn't have a choice You had to take a trade Had no money and you had no voice That's the life I made I'd take a hammer to the sea bell And shout my name And I'll sail the sea free as the breeze That's my claim to fame That's my claim to fame, boys That's my claim to fame To sail the sea free as a breeze And that's my claim to fame La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la Well a song can live forever and a day An old ship goes to the breaker's yard In a hundred years you're gonna hear him play They won't remember me for working hard Now they've all gone away, all the boys and the girls Yard is a grave where the river runs through We used to build the ships for the whole wide world Now we couldn't do it if we wanted to I'd take a hammer to the sea bell And shout my name And I'll sail the sea free as a breeze That's my claim to fame I'd take a hammer to the sea bell And shout my name And I'll sail the sea free as a breeze That's my claim to fame That's my claim to fame, boys That's my claim to fame Gonna sail the sea free as a breeze That's my claim to fame La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la La, la-la, la-la La, la-la La, la-la, la-la, la-la
