Mark Knopfler (nascido em 12 de agosto de 1949 em Glasgow, Escócia) é um guitarrista e cantor britânico mais conhecido pelo seu trabalho com a banda Dire Straits que liderou. Considerado por muitos um génio da guitarra, é bastante idolatrado, principalmente pelo seu estilo alternativo de tocar. Paralelamente, lançou álbuns a solo, escreveu bandas sonoras e criou ainda uma outra banda (Notting Hillbillies).

Bm Around the time of 'clambake' Movie number twenty-five You and the lying Dutchman Are still in overdrive You're as strong as when you started Mississippi in your soul You can still be Marlon Brando ABm And the king of rock and roll
Bm It isn't just the records No, you must have Hollywood The songs alone are not enough That much is understood You'll soon be back in Memphis Maybe then you'll know what to do The storylines they're giving you ABmBm(n.B.) Are just not ringing true

Bm When you're young and beautiful Your dreams are all ideals Later on it's not the same Lord, everything is real Sixteen hundred miles of highway Roll back to the truth And a song to give your mother ABm In your first recording booth
Bm Around the time of 'clambake' That old dream's still rolling on Sometimes there'll be the feeling Things are going wrong The morning star is fading Lord, the Mississippi's cold You can still be Marlon Brando ABm(n.B.) And the king of rock and roll
