My Claim To Fame(Remastered 2021) - Mark Knopfler

作词：Mark Knopfler

作曲：Mark Knopfler

Well he's a big star now

But I've been a fan of his for years

The way he sings and plays guitar

Can still bring me to tears

I wouldn't want to be a big deal

Wouldn't want to be a celebrity

I spent my life building ships of steel

That's all there ever was for me

I'd take a hammer to the sea valves

Punch out my name

And they sail the seas free as the breeze

That's my claim to fame

He spends his life in the studio

Jet planes and big black cars

They play his records on the radio

In all of the clubs and in all of the bars

In my day you didn't have a choice

You had to take a trade

You had no money and you had no voice

That's the life I made

I'd take a hammer to the sea valves

Punch out my name

And they sail the seas free as the breeze

That's my claim to fame

That's my claim to fame boys

That's my claim to fame

They sail the seas free as the breeze

And that's my claim to fame

Well a song can live forever and a day

An old ship goes to the breaker's yard

In a hundred years they're

gonna hear him play

They won't remember me

for working hard

Now they've all gone away

all the boys and the girls

The yard is a grave where

the river runs through

We used to build the ships for

the whole wide world

Now we couldn't do it if we wanted to

I'd take a hammer to the sea valves

Punch out my name

And they sail the seas free as the breeze

That's my claim to fame

I'd take a hammer to the sea valves

Punch out my name

And they sail the seas free as the breeze

That's my claim to fame

That's my claim to fame boys

That's my claim to fame

They sail the seas free as the breeze

That's my claim to fame
