Текст песни My Claim To Fame - Remastered 2021 - Mark Knopfler

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
