And if I give up my soul, won't you give me the right
And if I give up my sword, won't you give me the right
I feel like this one makes sense either way.
And the wind did hurt me so bad in the fear and alarm.
And though they did hurt me so bad in the fear and alarm.
And with only the heavens above
and the fear in your arms,
you did not deserve it, my brothers in arms
And though they did hurt me so bad
in the fear and alarm,
you did not desert me, my brothers in arms
And you're no longer born to be brothers in arms
And you'll no longer burn to be brothers in arms
Now the sun's gone to Hea-ven

There needs to be a website that lists the many songs where the artist expects you to hear a particular word, but sings something different. This is an example where Knopfler sings 'chimpy', but the lyrics say 'chimpanzee'. The song is also a little confusing because Knopfler sings "That ain't workin'", which is normally understood as "That method is a failure" when in fact he means "That is an example of work being great fun".
