Biografía:
Nacido en Glasgow en 1952 de un padre arquitecto. David creció en Newcastle, Inglaterra. Fué fundador junto a su hermano Mark Knopfler de los Dire Straits. David toco la guitarra rítmica en los 2 primeros discos de Dire Straits, grupo que abandonó a los inicios de la grabación de Making Movies debido al protagonismo de Mark en el mismo.
Después de abandonar la formación de Dire Straits, lanzó su primer álbum en 1983 con el titulo Release (en el que también colaboró su hermano Mark, y otros miembros de la banda).

David Knopfler - The Snowscape Paperweight Girl
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C F C F C
F C
You had your body pierced in Naples
F C
Found your patron saints in Rome
F C
Your Buddha, brought back from Bangkok
F C
Hides your runic stones
F C
And your star of David, a-crucified
F G
In a pendant you made from bones
F C
Your Hindi music's on the hifi
E Am G
And your Muslim is on the phone
F G F G F G
In this place you now call home
F C
Still, you take your clothes off slowly
F C
To stoned messiah's tones
F C
Your mirror ball retro-flits
F C
Across your bolstered bed-sit wall
F C
And you pray for all life can bring you
F G
It's like you're praying for us all
F C
Your tarot spoke of a stranger
E Am G
Your I-Ching of a girl unknown
F G F G Am G
In this place you now call home (you now call home)
Am F
And you bleed for the blade life will give ya
Am F
But still you want to swallow whole
Am F
The stoned messiahs prophesise
C F
It's like a hot-wire to your soul
C
Like your bible that's holding your life up
E Am G
Or a window to your world
F C
As the camera pans out from a laptop
E Am
We'll watch your world grow small
F G F
As snowflakes swirl in a ticker-tape snowscape
G F
Fade out on a paperweight - and a golden girl
Harmonica Break: C F C F C F C
Oh oh, yeah
F C
Turning soul cards with Retsina
F C
Which you pour like sacred scrolls
F C
Kneeling naked at your altar
F C
Your patchwork quilt enfolds ya
F C
And it's a Hindi music on the hifi
F G
And a Sufi on the phone
F C
The dance becoming your reality
E Am G
I think it's time that I was going
F G F
From this place you now call home
OUTRO: G F G F G
Am G
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
F
Don't hang up, don't hang up, don't hang up
