• super dire straits $arkisi. making movies albumunde bulunur.
  • i seen a girl on a one way corridor
    stealing down a wrong way street
    for all the world like an urban toreador
    she had wheels on on her feet
    well the cars do the usual dances
    same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
    but the rollergirl she's taking chances
    they just love to see her take them all

    no fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
    in her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud

    hallelujah here she comes queen rollerball
    enchanté what can i say don't care at all
    you know she used to have to wait around
    she used to be the lonely one
    but now that she can skate around town
    she's the only one

    no fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd
    in her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud

    she gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
    and a rock n roll dream
    she's making movies on location
    she don't know what it means
    but the music make her wanna be the story
    and the story was whatever was the song what it was
    rollergirl don't worry
    d.j. play the movies all night long

    she tortures taxi drivers just for fun
    she like to read their lips
    says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son
    i swear she let a big truck graze her hip
    she got her own world in the city
    you can't intrude on her
    she got her own world in the city
    cos the city's been so rude to her

    come slippin and slidin
    life's a rollerball
    slippin and a slidin
    skateaway that's all
    shala shalay hey hey skateaway
    she's singing shala shalay hey hey
    skateaway

    kısmında dizeler söylenirken çalınan melodi, o kuvvetli melodi ile beni benden alan şahane dire straits parçası. sanki müzisyenlerin birbiriyle yarıştığı bir nokta bu. zaten pick withers ve david knopfler'lı zamanlardaki dire straits dünyadaki hiçbir kategoriye sığamayacak kusursuzluktaki bir topluluktu. ama o her zamanki egolar o salakça egolar kimi zaman çok büyük kayıplara neden olabiliyor.
  • sonundaki vokalsiz kısımda mark knopflerın gitarı öyle gelir ki sanki şarkı boyunca söylenenlere mevzubahis kişi cevap veriyor gibi hissedersiniz. gitarı karşısına oturtup sohbet edermişçesine çalan knopfler'dan da daha azı beklenemezdi. aynı albümün bir başka aynı kafadaki şarkısı için (bkz: romeo and juliet)
  • bütün dire straits parçaları gibi muhteşem bir şarkı. mark knopfler resitali.
  • en sevdiğim dire straits şarkısı. mark knopfler tatlı bir hatunu anlatırken gitarıyla neler yapmıyor ki…
