Making Movies é o terceiro álbum
de estúdio da extinta banda de rock inglesa Dire Straits, lançado em 1980.
"Expresso
Love" is a song written by Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler for
their third álbum Making Movies. It is one of their heavier songs, with a
distorted guitar playing the main riff, which was recycled from the unreleased
track "Making Movies". It also has a keyboard melody played
throughout the piece, with the melody altering slightly at points. It is basically a love song. Expresso
Love also contains a reference to the earlier Dire Straits song "Wild West
End" from their eponymous album, with the line "Hey mister, you
wanna take a walk in the wild west end sometime?"
It
was one of the four songs from the Making Movies album to be performed
throughout the Love over Gold and Brothers in Arms tours, with a particularly
notable version on the live album Alchemy, but the song was dropped from the
lineup afterwards.
In
1984, the live version from Alchemy was released as a single backed with the Alchemy
edition of "Two Young Lovers", and the song was later re-released in
CD format as one of the B-sides to the single "The Bug".
She gets the sun in the daytime
Perfume in the dusk
And she comes out in the night time
With the honeysuckle musk
Because she smells just like a rose
And she tastes just like a peach
She got me walking where the wildlife goes
I'd do anything to reach her
And she was made in heaven
Heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I'm crazy for the girl
She call me just to talk
She's my lover, she's a friend of mine
She says hey mister you wanna take a walk
In the wild west end sometime
And I get trouble with my breathing
She says boys don't know anything
But I know what I want
I want everything
Well I feel so good cos I feel so good
And I feel so good cos it feels so right
I was made to go with my girl
Like a saxophone was made to go with the night
And she can raise one eyebrow
Put her hand on my hip
And I close one eye now
Sweat on her tip
And I surrender to the fever
She love me so tender I got to believe her
Love? Express love's alright
I don't want no sugar in it
Thank you very much
All wired up on it all fired up on it
Express touch
Hey maestro expresso
It's just another one just like the other one
Hey maestro express
Is this another one just like the other one.
