About This Track

In “Heavy Fuel”, Mark Knopfler ironically extols the virtues of such conventionally frowned-upon vices as cigarettes, hamburgers, Scotch, lust, money, and violence.

The phrase “You gotta run on heavy fuel” is from the novel Money by Martin Amis, on which Knopfler based his lyric.
