Communiqué Lyrics by Dire Straits

The Studio Albums 1978 - 1991

1979

[Verse 1]
They want to get a statement for Jesus' sake
It's like talking to the wall
He's incommunicado, no comment to make
He's saying nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say, say what he means
Maybe on a Monday, he got something to say
[Chorus]
Communication

[Verse 2]
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
Maybe he could talk about himself
Maybe he could talk about the money that he made
Maybe he'd be saying something else
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say, say what he means
Maybe on a Monday, he got something to say
[Chorus]

Communiqué
[Verse 3]
And now the rumors are flying, speculation rising
Say that he's been trying someone else's wife
Somebody at the airport, somebody on the phone
Says he's at the station and he's coming on the noon
Then we get the story, a serious breeze
And a photograph taken in a hall
And you don't have to worry with the previous release
Right now, he's saying nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean
Think what he say, say what he means
Maybe on a Monday, he got something to say
[Chorus]
