Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy. Led by guitarist/vocalist Mark Knopfler, the group built their sound upon the laid-back blues-rock of J.J. Cale, but they also had jazz and country inflections, occasionally dipping into the epic song structures of progressive rock. The band's music was offset by Knopfler's lyrics, which approximated the winding, stream-of-conscious narratives of Bob Dylan.

When It Comes To You Lyrics
Dire Straits
If we cant get along we oughtta be apart
And Im wondering whered you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free - sign my release
Im tired of being the villain of the piece
You been givin me a bad time
Tell me whatd I do
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
Sayin things that you didnt have to
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
You only get one life - this I know
I wanna get my licks in now before I go
The fire of love is dead and cold
I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul
And you been givin me a bad time
Tell me whatd I do
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
Sayin things that you didnt have to
How come I always get a hard time
Honey when it comes to you
