- Your Latest Trick LyricsAll the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Well now my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off from my chain
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Well now my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

✔️

✔️
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, Dire Straits' 'Your Latest Trick' employs a variety of metaphors, such as late-night transactions, prehistorical refuse collectors, and the singing of the blues, to illustrate an occasion in which one party has been tricked and suffered loss through the cunning actions of the other. The words of the song are very much like expressing a feeling of being betrayed, realizing that one has been left with nothing and the emptiness associated with that being compared to the huge unsightly drunk in Bowery with an empty bottle, thus, the idea of loss and deceit has been accentuated. Your latest trick lyrics are mainly about heartache, contemplation, frustration, despondency and yearning. Except for the fact that the song points out the negativity of love and the positive side of it, the per depression of song themes remains the same: heartbreak and betrayal, loss and emptiness and the passage of time. The lyrics feature some mature themes and references to adult activities like drinking and relationships that could be considered unsuitable for very young children. Nevertheless, there is nothing in the form of explicit language or graphic content that would justify a higher rating.
