Cleaning My Gun

Mark Knopfler

Transposer:

Intro: (2x) Verse I keep a weather eye on the horizon back to the wall I like to know who’s coming through the door thats all It’s the old Army training kickin’ in Asu2 I’m not complaining it’s the world we live in Ronny and Malarkey they’re a devious firm They’ll take you to the cleaners let you burn The help is breaking dishes in the kitchen thanks a lot We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got Hidden below the radar they want to spoil our fun In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun Verse Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank Keep a weather eye on the horizon Tap my stormglass now and then I’ve got a case of Old Damnation for when you get here my friend We can have ourselves a party before they come In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun Solo Bridge We had women and a mirror ball we had a dee jay used to eat pretty much all that came his way Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place I keep a tyre iron in the corner just in case Verse I gave you a magic bullet on a little chain to keep you safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain We’re gonna might need bullets should we get stuck Any which way we’re going to need a little luck You can still get gas in Heaven and a drink in Kingdom Come In the meantime I’m cleaning my gun Outro

La chanson parle d'un personnage qui reste vigilant face aux dangers qui l'entourent, fort d'une ancienne formation militaire. Il évoque des tensions et des menaces qui planent, tandis qu'il prépare un moment de célébration, conscient que des ombres guettent. Entre humour et mélancolie, il s’active à rendre son environnement plus sûr, tout en se préparant à affronter l'éventualité de difficultés. La référence à des retrouvailles entre amis suggère un besoin de solidarité, même dans un monde incertain. Le contexte semble aborder les thèmes de la précaution et de la camaraderie, plongeant dans une ambiance qui alterne entre la défense personnelle et la fête. On ressent l'idée que, malgré les menaces extérieures, il est important de profiter des bons moments.
