Dolly Shop Man

Sparkling Diamonds
From out of a stash
They told me I could take 'em
And turn 'em into cash
I took 'em to the corner
To the dolly shop man
He said, son, I should inform you
Just so you understand

I'm not an operator
I'm not here to take you in
I'm not here to tell your fortune
Or listen to your sins
I got nothing to sell you
I would never rob or steal
But I'll be sure to tell you
If your diamonds ain't for real

That's why you can trust me
You know you can
You're getting it straight
At the regular rate
From the dolly shop man

It's always open season
Somebody looking for a slice
There ain't no rhyme or reason
To the tumbling dice
I got nothing to sell you
I would never rob or steal
But I'll be sure to tell you
If your diamonds ain't for real

A parcel of preachers
Talking heaven and hell
They never quit the speeches
They're always doing well
I got nothing to sell you
I would never rob or steal
But I'll be sure to tell you
If your diamonds ain't for real

That's why you can trust me
You know you can
You're getting it straight
At the regular rate
From the dolly shop man

That's why you can trust me
You know you can
You're getting it straight
At the regular rate

Sounds like the title of a Syd Barrett song.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Really like this fabulous, faster paced track..probably best of the Vinyl bonus tracks.

I haven't heard the vinyl tracks, but I think the CD bonus songs are, mostly, very strong. Fair to say that, overall, you consider the vinyl tracks weaker than the CD ones? I think 4 of the 5 of the CD bonus could have been on the album.

in the part 1 presentation video, we hear a keyboard synth intro that I don't find in the album, was this a title that they didn't include?

I certainly will !! Do you perhaps know if the bonus CD tracks will be available at some point in digital format? I Have Apple music containing the new album, but i'd love to take the tracks with me in the car tomorrow, as I have 650km to drive  :o
