[@johnf.missik2996]

I always took this song as Mark's tribute or tip of the hat to Roger Miller ; )

[@jemtreadwell]

I believe that's correct.

[@mjleb1]

There is only one composer that can write a great song on shoes and it's Mr Mark Knopfler. Bravo.. Thanks for posting this video.

[@SophiesDriver]

And on Coyotes too :-)

[@rapierlynx]

This is the guy that wrote a love song about a heavy goods truck, after all.

[@floydianistforever7607]

You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You don't want no stand-by pair
'cause these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now they maybe ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow
You're gonna want to smile in them
If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe

A tip of the hat to Roger Miller - Love it!!

[@Nassim586]

Please Mr Knopfler don't stop making good music !

[@GlynisDance]

Brilliant as ever - whoever can write a song about a pair of shoes can write a song about anything! This tune always makes me feel like dancing!

[@wesleurs]

Awesome! We want more of this unreleased live footage

[@TheLambLive]

Was lucky enough to attend one of these shows (possibly this one). Mark was absolutely on fire and having a great time too. John Illsley was there, along with Jimmy Nail. Incredible sound in a fairly small venue. Best gig I've ever attented. Thanks Mark and crew :-)

[@cindytroxler2838]

This was great! It's great see Mark smile😃! Love this song!

guitar and vocals genius

[@kennova01]

classic..

[@StraimanNunes]

The second night's show at Shepherd's Bush Empire, London, United Kingdom - 24.07.02 was filmed in full and has not yet been released, what is the reason? Are there plans to release it in full? It's a sacrilege that more than 20 years have passed without this show being released, the band was impeccable, wonderful versions, in addition to the historic nature of being, (apparently), the last meeting of Dire Straits and Notting Hillbillies.
Please don't let this be forgotten, the faithful followers, who are millions around the planet, yearn for this and much more, the box live 78/92 was a pleasant surprise after a long hope, gratitude. 🙏🏻🎸🎸🎸

[@PeterPetelski]

Thank you so much ~♡~ ..P

[@elfugitivomusica]

Wise shoemaker. It's all about life, old analogic life.

Lyrics: আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে................
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You don't want no stand-by pair
'cause these'll take the wear and tear
Made to take good care of you
For that trip by road or rail
For extra grip on those rocky trails
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now they may be ain't too hot for dancing
But I don't foresee too much of that
You ain't exactly gonna be prancing
Around in the moonlight
With a cane and a top hat
If you could use a change of pace
And be excused from the rat race
Just take a look at what's on view
Lace 'em up, walk around
I guarantee you can't wear 'em down
You're gonna need a quality shoe
Now I wish you sunny skies
And happiness wherever you may go
But you got to realise
There'll be wind, there'll be rain
And occasional snow

If you're gonna walk a mile in them
There'll be times when you'll be blue
To laugh at rainy days and then
Make your getaways in them
You're gonna need a quality shoe
You got your toecaps reinforced with steel
Hard-wearing sole and heel
Make those tired feet feel like new
Take your pick, black or brown
Great for the country or the man in town
You're gonna need a quality shoe
গানের কথা:
আপনি আপনার পায়ের টোকাপগুলিকে ইস্পাত দিয়ে শক্তিশালী করেছেন
কঠিন-পরা সোল এবং হিল
সেই ক্লান্ত পাগুলোকে নতুনের মতো অনুভব করুন
আপনার বাছাই নিন, কালো বা বাদামী
দেশ বা শহরের মানুষ জন্য মহান
আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে
আপনি কোন স্ট্যান্ড-বাই জুটি চান না
কারণ এগুলো নষ্ট হয়ে যাবে
আপনার ভাল যত্ন নিতে তৈরি
সড়ক বা রেলপথে সেই ভ্রমণের জন্য
সেই পাথুরে ট্রেইলে অতিরিক্ত দখলের জন্য
আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে
এখন তারা হয়তো নাচের জন্য খুব গরম নয়
কিন্তু আমি যে খুব বেশী পূর্বাভাস না
আপনি ঠিক প্র্যান্সিং করা হবে না
চাঁদের আলোয় চারপাশ
একটি বেত এবং একটি শীর্ষ টুপি সঙ্গে
আপনি যদি গতি পরিবর্তন ব্যবহার করতে পারেন
এবং ইঁদুর দৌড় থেকে ক্ষমা করুন
শুধু ভিউ কি একটি কটাক্ষপাত
তাদের জরি আপ, চারপাশে হাঁটা
আমি গ্যারান্টি দিচ্ছি যে আপনি এগুলি পরতে পারবেন না
আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে
এখন আমি তোমাকে রৌদ্রোজ্জ্বল আকাশ কামনা করি
এবং আপনি যেখানেই যেতে পারেন সুখ
কিন্তু তোমাকে বুঝতে হবে
বাতাস থাকবে, বৃষ্টি হবে
এবং মাঝে মাঝে তুষারপাত
আপনি তাদের মধ্যে হাসতে চাইছেন
আপনি যদি তাদের মধ্যে এক মাইল হাঁটা যাচ্ছেন
এমন সময় আসবে যখন তুমি নীল হবে
বৃষ্টির দিনে হাসতে হাসতে
তাদের মধ্যে আপনার getaways করুন
আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে
আপনি আপনার পায়ের আঙুল ইস্পাত দিয়ে চাঙ্গা করেছেন
কঠিন-পরা সোল এবং হিল
সেই ক্লান্ত পাগুলোকে নতুনের মতো অনুভব করুন
আপনার বাছাই নিন, কালো বা বাদামী
দেশ বা শহরের মানুষ জন্য মহান
আপনার একটি মানসম্পন্ন জুতা লাগবে

Only if I could write like that..

[@wabio]

Mark could write a song about vomit on the sidewalk.........and that song would be EPIC!

[@paulmyfinger]

sounds a bit like the song that says "I ain't got no cigarettes"

[@SashanMusArt]

It’s definitely a nod to Roger Miller 😂
