A letra:
Your six blade knifeDo anything for youAnything you want it toOne blade breaking my heartOne blade tearing me apartYour six blade knifeDo anything for you
You can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tinWhen you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skinTook a stone from my soul when I was lameJust so you could make me tame, yesYou take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
I'd like to be free of it, babeI don't want it no moreI'd like to be free of it nowI don't want it no more
Everybody got a knife it can be just what you want it to beA needle, a wife or something that you just can't see
Your six blade knife, keep you strongYes and it'll do me wrongYour six blade knifeDo anything for youDo anythingAnything
A versão do Italian Dire Straits:
