lyrics
- 9. rue de la guitare
- 15. oldest surfer on the beach
rue de la guitare
(Jimmy Buffett)
A Sunday off in Gay Paree
I was bound for the sacred street
God’s the draw up on Montmartre
But not Rue de la Guitare
Ne pas Rue de la Guitare
Like melodies that never fade
B-girls perform their masquerades
Pigale is still a strange bazaar
Down on Rue de la Guitare
Rue de la Guitare
Windows filled with long lost dreams
Unfinished songs on rusty strings
From Nazareth across the sea
She’d somehow caught up with me
Her fait accompli
I read the wood and felt the scars
They spoke of nights in smoky bars
How many songs, how many beers
Had caused her journey here
A toast to those who love to hear
A D-18 played Lightfoot clear
Music still lives in the shops and bars
Along Rue de la Guitare
Rue de la Guitare
Now over her, people say
“comment ca va, Monsieur Buffett
Un verre de vin, une chanson a jouer”
Vive Rue de la Guitare

oldest surfer on the beach
(Mark Knopfler)
The sun’s dropping out of his picture
Soon be time to move
Hasn’t been a real big day
But I don’t have a thing to prove
I’ve still got the old Noseider
I still surf old style
I’ll go on out beyond the breakers
Sit alone and rest awhile
There’s nothing that I won’t to do
No place I’m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach
I stopped searching for perfection
Many waves ago
What really matters is the hear and now
And that's about all I know
Gonna catch me a big ‘ole roller
Sun settin’ on the sea
Ride it in on her glassy shoulder
The water going gray like me
There’s nothing that I won’t do
No place I’m trying to reach
Only time is now more precious to
The oldest surfer on the beach
Oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach
The oldest surfer on the beach
