| Dire Straits – Ticket To Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Just signed up on the forum, so pardon my tardiness. Thanks to both of you for chiming in on this song. I've wrestled with the meaning of it for years and never seen anything from MK or critics as to what they thought it meant. I see the song as having 2 possible sides. One, the writer mocking the poor person throwing money at the TV preacher thinking he/she will get to heaven by buying their ticket, and I also see the side where it becomes first person-based and the guy has the firm belief that he's doing the right thing despite wearing extra clothes in his house in the winter time. Love to hear what Knopfler has to say about this song.... | |
