Down To The Waterline

Artist: Dire Straits

Album: Dire Straits (1978)

Why Its Great: This song is the sonic equivalent of good cup of black coffee in the late afternoon – its smooth, dark, and tinged with a hint of regret.

Key Lyric: No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn/Your hands are cold but your lips are warm
