Song Quote of the Week

If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine,
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.

Song Quote of the Week

There's a protest singer singing a protest song -- he says,
“They wanna have a war to keep us on our knees,
They wanna have a war to keep their factories,
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese,
They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease,
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind,
They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind,
They give you Rule Britannia, gassy beer, page three,
Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease.”
--Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, “Industrial Disease”
