They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Great song. Some of the lyrics remind me of a relationship that almost was.

"You and me, babe, how about it?" Class(ic).

That’s Mark Knopfler?! I’d never recognise him without his headband :-D Whatever, classics don’t age!

Simple but touching lyrics: “the dice was loaded from the start, and I bet, and you exploded in my heart”. The fate is throwing dice, but sometimes loading them too (-:

When I have rencontred you
You was a jeune fille au pair
And I put a spell on you
And you roule a pelle to me

Together we go partout
On my mob it was super
It was Friday on my mind
It was a story d'amour

It is not because you are
I love you because I do
C'est pas parce que you are me
Qu'I am you, qu'I am you

You was really beautiful
In the middle of the foule
Don't let me misunderstood
Don't let me sinon I boude

My loving, my marshmallow
You are belle and I are beau
You give me all what you have
I say thank you, you are bien brave

It is not because you are
I love you because I do
C'est pas parce que you are me
Qu'I am you, qu'I am you

This is a musical bridge

I wanted marry with you
And make love very beaucoup
To have a max of children
Just like Stone and Charden

But one day that must arrive
Together we disputed
For a stupid story of fric
We decide to divorced

It is not because you are
I love you because I do
C'est pas parce que you are me
Qu'I am you, qu'I am you

You chialed comme une madeleine
Not me, I have my dignité
You tell me, you are a sale mec
I tell you, poil to the bec

That's comme ça that you thank me
To have learning you English?
Eh! That's not you qui m'a appris
My grand father was rosbeef

It is not because you are
I love you because I do
C'est pas parce que you are me
Qu'I am you, qu'I am you

It is not because you are
I love you because I do
C'est pas parce que you are me
Qu'I am you, qu'I am you, qu'I am you

Skip ahead to 1:40. Unless you're a fan of Don Cornelius.

Nice.

I have long thought that this track hits all the bases of the blues (vocals, harmonica, driving bass, guitar, cheating woman, booze, travel, regrets):
