Biografía:
Dire Straits fue una banda de Rock británica, fundada en 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra y voz), David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (bajo) y Pick Withers (batería), con Ed Bicknell como director.
Dire Straits grabó y realizó su primer álbum homónimo en 1978 con poca aceptación hasta que cinco meses después se lanzó un sencillo, Sultans of Swing, que convirtió el disco en uno de los más vendidos. El segundo álbum, Communiqué se lanzó poco después; estos dos primeros trabajos configuraron el sonido de la banda.

Wild West End
Mark Knopfler from “Dire Straits” (1978)
[Verse 1]
D D Em G
Steppin' out to Angellucci's, for my coffee beans
D D Em G
checking out the movies, and the magazines
D D Em G
waitress she watches me, crossing from the Barocco bar
D D Em G
I'm getting a pickup, for my steel guitar
D D Em G
I saw you walking out, Shaftsbury Avenue
D D Em G
excuse me talking, I wanna marry you
D D Em G
this is seventh heaven street to me, don't you be so proud
D D Em G
You're just another angel, in the crowd.
[Chorus]
D D Em G
And I'm walking in the wild west end
D D Em G
Walking in the wild west end
D D Em G D/A G/C /C D/
Walking with your wild best friend
[Verse 2]
And my conductress on the number nineteen, she was a honey
pink toenails and hands all dirty with the money
greasy greasy greasy hair, easy smile
made me feel nineteen, for awhile
and I went down to Chinatown
in the backroom it's a man's world, all the money go down
Duck inside the doorway, gotta duck to eat
right now feels all right now, you and me we can't beat walking -
[Chorus]
D D Em G
And I'm walking in the wild west end
D D Em G
Walking in the wild west end
D D Em G D/A G/C /C D/
Walking with your wild best friend
[Verse 3]
And a gogo, dancing girl, yes I saw her
the deejay, he say, here's Mandy for ya
I fell all right to see her, but she's paid to do that stuff
She's dancing high, I move on by, the close ups can get rough
when you're walking in the wild west end . . .
[Chorus]
D D Em G
And I'm walking in the wild west end
D D Em G
Walking in the wild west end
D D Em G D/A G/C /C D/
