Small Potatoes Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

Out on the town for your charities 

Hanging in 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
