Six Blade Knife

Dire Straits

Dire Straits, 1978, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Your six blade knife
Do anything for you
Anything you want it to
One blade breaking my heart
One blade tearing me apart
Your six blade knife
Do anything for you
You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
When you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
Took a stone from my soul when I was lame
Just so you could make me tame, yes
You take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
I'd like to be free of it, babe
I don't want it no more
I'd like to be free of it now
I don't want it no more
Everybody got a knife it can be just what you want it to be
A needle, a wife or something that you just can't see
Your six blade knife, keep you strong
Yes and it'll do me wrong
Your six blade knife
Do anything for you
Do anything
Anything
