[00:00.75] Madame Geneva's - Mark Knopfler
[00:23.63] I'm a maker of ballads right pretty
[00:27.22]
[00:28.34] I write em right here in the street
[00:31.25]
[00:32.59] You can buy them all over the city
[00:35.84]
[00:37.70] Yours for a penny a sheet
[00:40.43]
[00:44.16] I'm a word pecker out of the printers
[00:47.47]
[00:48.84] Out of the dens of Gin Lane
[00:51.95]
[00:53.61] I'll write up a scene on a counter
[00:56.81]
[00:57.99] Confessions and sins in the main
[01:01.48]
[01:02.15] Boys, confession and sins in the main
[01:05.98]
[01:09.09] Then you'll find me in Madame Geneva's
[01:13.88]
[01:14.50] Keepin the demons at bay
[01:17.30]
[01:18.58] There's nothin like gin for drownin them in
[01:23.36] But they'll always be back on a hangin day
[01:28.51]
[01:31.31] On a hangin day
[01:33.16]
[01:50.73] They come rattlin over the cobbles
[01:54.15]
[01:55.69] They sit on their coffins of black
[01:58.53]
[02:00.27] Some are struck dumb, some gabble
[02:03.09]
[02:04.58] Top-heavy on brandy or sack
[02:07.93]
[02:11.85] The pews are all full of fine fellows
[02:15.03]
[02:16.23] And the hawker has set up her shop
[02:19.20]
[02:20.42] As they're turnin em off at the gallows
[02:23.74]
[02:25.13] She'll be sellin right under the drop
[02:28.48]
[02:29.43] Boys, sellin right under the drop
[02:33.19]
[02:36.51] Then you'll find me in Madame Geneva's
[02:41.12]
[02:41.80] Keepin the demons at bay
[02:44.73]
[02:46.21] There's nothin like gin for drownin them in
[02:50.16]
[02:50.87] But they'll always be back on a hangin day
[02:56.44]
[02:58.72] On a hangin day
[03:01.50]
