Heavy Up - Mark Knopfler

Your slack-jawed dimness is our loss

Condemns us to your point of view

Who could give a flying toss

What you like to chill out to?

And why should I lighten up for you

If you can’t heavy up for me?

Why should I?

Why should I?

You grunt and root your patch of earth

Adrift from shame and deaf to sound

How much is your praise really worth?

About the same as your thumbs down

And why should I lighten up for you

If you can’t heavy up for me?

Why should I?

Why should I?

So heavy up, heavy up for me

Heavy up, heavy up for me

You can give it up

Give it up with me

Or heavy up, heavy up for me

What would it take

To get you to shut it?

I’d so love it

And why should I lighten up for you

If you can’t heavy up for me?

Why should I?

Why should I?

So heavy up, heavy up for me

Heavy up, heavy up for me

You can give it up

Give it up with me

Or heavy up, heavy up for me

You won’t of course, you will be heard

Ah, but at least a man can dream

I’m afraid, alas, the turd

Who thinks he’s an ice cream

And why should I lighten up for you

If you can’t heavy up for me?

Why should I?

Why should I?

So heavy up, heavy up for me

Heavy up, heavy up for me

You can give it up

Give it up with me

Or heavy up, heavy up for me

Yeah, heavy up, heavy up for me

Heavy up, heavy up for me

You can give it up

Give it up with me

Or heavy up, heavy up for me
