Cleaning My Gun Lyrics

Cover art for Cleaning My Gun lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Well, in the light of the latest happenings, and metaphorically speaking, this song could easily be about Britain's attitude towards the rest of Europe. Just look, "I like to know who's coming through the door" - and most of us do like to know who these asylum seekers really are, are they all genuine? "We hired the worst dishwasher" - could be referred to lots of unskilled workers who moved to the UK over the recent years. "Come in below the radar, they want to spoil our fun" - yep, they came in, and nobody noticed before there were too many. I don't want to say that was Mark's intention, but it certainly rings some bells if you give it some thought.
