Good On You Son - Mark Knopfler

Flash goes a little hummingbird a dart and worried thread

At the screen door by his lemon tree out here with the quick and the dead

Designer blinds above LA frame the perfect view

It’s gonna be another day of sun and shameless blue

By his cutting block the time has come for the fruit there by the juicer

He grinds fresh coffee for himself he’s beaten our producer

LA Times lies on the stone warming there like bread

Hey what’s not to like out here with the quick and the dead?

Good on you son, good on you

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two

Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah

Good on you son, good on you

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two

You wanna know what happiness is?

In his eye lives a hunter’s gleam

Something to look forward to, this cat’s gonna get the cream

Skin of a mango is so smooth, smoother than the devil

Cut it, slice it, chop it up to the rhythm of a cockney rebel

Back in Blighty there’s a flat on a grimy sink estate

That’s why he walked out of that and went to the Golden State

Left the backie and the beer where he was born and bred

Now he’s cutting it out here with the quick and the dead

Good on you son, good on you

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two

Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah

What would you have had him do

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah

Good on you son, good on you

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two

Good on you son, good on you a-ha, oh yeah

Good on you son, good on you

The Camden shuffle and the old one-two yeah
