Expresso Love

"Expresso Love" is a song written by Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler for their third album Making Movies.

It is one of their heavier songs, with a slightly overdriven guitar playing the main riff, which was recycled from the unreleased track "Making Movies".

"Expresso Love" also contains a reference to the earlier Dire Straits song "Wild West End" from their eponymous album, with the line "Hey mister, you wanna take a walk in the wild west end sometime?"

It was one of the four songs from the Making Movies album to be performed throughout the Love Over Gold and Brothers in Arms tours, with a particularly notable version on the live album Alchemy, but the song was dropped from the lineup afterwards.

It was also a radio single in the United States, reaching #39 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.
