| Dire Straits – On Every Street Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song for me is just genius, the music, the subtlety of the writing, laced with irony... superb. I always think of it as a guy, still not moving on from a girl he was madly in love with, but who took him for a mug, and he only realised when it was too late. No matter how much he sees how bad she was for him, he can't stop seeing her face wherever he goes... Knopfler uses the analogy of a Private Detective, as the guy can't help but look for her, and every time he finds something out, he find more info he doesn't want to hear, although it ironically give his life some meaning... but still the guy can't stop. Although hugely underrated, the whole 'On Every Street' album for me, shows Knopfler's best writing. |

| I *love* this song, and yep, I lost my heart to a Galway girl back in the days. It didn't last, but every time I hear this song, I think back with a smile! :-) | |
