SMALL POTATOES

(Mark Knopfler)

You can hire and fire, wheel and deal

run your streets with a fist of steel

but you're small potatoes

strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime

small potatoes, small time

you can raise an army on a town

be the rent collector, come around

yeah, but you're small potatoes

strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime

small potatoes, small time

if you take your leave of reality

you have to believe in your own publicity

but you get yourself and agent

hire the Albert Hall

make like Humpty dumpty and look down on it all

but you're small potatoes

strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime

small potatoes, small time

out on the town for your charities

hangingin around with the VIPS

they say the duke of York took his men

marched them up a hill of beans and down again

he was small potatoes

strictly nickel and dime, nickel and dime

small potatoes, small potatoes, small potatoes, small time
