Don't you mean "Skateaway," which features the "making movies" line? There
is no title track per se on MAKING MOVIES.
While I recognize Knopfler's sleep-inducing qualities, and my Dire Straits
fandom waned the more I explored the Richard Thompson catalog, I really like
the whole MAKING MOVIES album. Yeah, Roy Bittan!
Come to think of it, there's a lot of COMMUNIQUE that I like too. Hm, maybe
I'm still a fan.

And for me, that is where a lot of prog loses me - the widdly-widdly aspects
hold no interest for me whatsoever.
