Berikut ini lirik lagu “Scavengers Yard” dari Mark Knopfler:

[Verse 1]‎‎
I closed my eyes and made a wish
Lord, don’t let me lose this fish
Scored myself a genuine squillionaire
I’m the drawing room boy with the pinky ring
I’m here to sell you anything
I’ve got a brand new friend
And we’re doing a good job there

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Thought he’d come down to sniff around
In my old blood-stained hunting ground
Walked right in, I never should have stayed
He’s taking all my sage advice
So keep it shut, you’ll get your slice
We do him both ends twice and w? both get paid

[Chorus]
In Scavengers Yard wh?re the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
Come on down to where the tigers roar
In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
You’ll find me down on the killing floor

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]‎
Now as someone I’d recommend
I bring you in, a dear old friend
Who knows just where there’s another shiny toy
It goes the way I want it to
There’s a major drink in this for you
Finder wins and seller too, old boy

[Bridge]
He’s a greedy swine, he loves a steal
We tell him here’s one killer deal
I’ll hold his hand and a reaming there will be
I’ve let him know he’s number one
I’ve told him as a rule of thumb
I don’t trust anyone, not even me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Never had a sucker come on like this
He’s giving me arthritis
I feel like I have grown a set of claws
I’m not going to let this one slip
And I don’t intend to lose my grip
Now that I’ve got him in my jaws

[Chorus]
In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
Come on down to where the tigers roar
In Scavengers Yard the wild things roam
Welcome - the bag man’s home
You’ll find me down on the killing floor

[Outro]
