Basil - Mark Knopfler[00:00:00]

My Saturday job pays six and six down[00:00:19]

A copy boy at the Chronicle[00:00:27]

Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns[00:00:33]

Meeting Vince at Mark Toney's in town[00:00:41]

Boy do we get around[00:00:46]

Basil sits there on the table for subs[00:00:55]

But not a part of the Bri-nylon club[00:01:03]

Ancient blue sweater too old for the job[00:01:08]

Bored out of his mind[00:01:15]

With the Colins and Bobs[00:01:17]

I'm a jack and a lad[00:01:21]

And I'm up for the world[00:01:26]

And I've kissed a Gateshead girl[00:01:31]

He calls for a copy boy grumpy as hell[00:01:43]

Poets have to eat as well[00:01:51]

What he wouldn't give just to walk out today[00:01:55]

To have time to think about time[00:02:03]

And young love thrown away[00:02:08]

I'm a jack and a lad[00:02:13]

And I'm up for the world[00:02:18]

And I've kissed a Gateshead girl[00:02:23]

Starlings swarming[00:02:31]

A cloud over Grainger Street[00:02:36]

Over the black church[00:02:45]

Over the Black Gate[00:02:49]

And the shadowy Keep[00:02:54]

He peers through his wire rims[00:03:18]

At the fish and chip words[00:03:21]

He's supposed to dish up and forget[00:03:26]

His drudgery now has become slightly blurred[00:03:31]

By one of his Players untipped cigarettes[00:03:38]

Bury all joy[00:03:44]

Put the poems in sacks[00:03:49]

And bury me here with the hacks[00:03:54]

In the summer the fair[00:04:11]

Will stretch over the Moor[00:04:13]

Lovers will lie and make out in the park[00:04:18]

Basil puts on his old duffel and scarf[00:04:24]

And goes out into the dark[00:04:32]
