Laughs And Jokes And Drinks And Smokes Lyrics - Tracker - Mark Knopfler

Laughs and jokes 

And drinks and smokes 

And no lights on the stairs 

We were young, so young 

And always broke 

Not that we ever cared 

Not that we ever cared 

Well, the holes in the walls 

Were such a lot 

Welcome to London town 

But when you're new to it all 

And you think you're hot 

You're not planning on hanging around 

People would go on their different ways 

I left to start a band 

A note came through the letter box 

In your childlike hand

Oh, laughs and jokes 

And drinks and smokes 

And no lights on the stairs 

We were young, so young 

And always broke 

Not that we ever cared 

Not that we ever cared 

One day I rode to where you were 

The doorbell jangled a note 

They buzzed me in 

I climbed the stairs 

In my boots and leather coat 

There's an old brass 

Standing there at the top 

Without her witch's broom 

It almost seemed like a knocking shop 

When the girls came out of their rooms 

Photos 

And they all stood around 

And stared at me 

Two brunettes and a blonde 

Then the old brass shrugged and said 

We don't know where she's gone 

Later on I picked up the ball 

And I took off down the line 

I suppose by then I'd realised 

You'd run into hard times 

Oh, laughs and jokes 

And drinks and smokes 

And no lights on the stairs 

We were young, so young 

And always broke 

Not that we ever cared 

Not that we ever cared
