You probably know more than you realize.

He is a great story teller. If you happen to like Mark Knopfler or Dire Straits, you'll probably like more de Burgh stuff. They're both great storytellers with this music and it's easier to imagine the scene they're singing about, more so than other sings in my opinion.

Don't Pay the Ferryman
Borderline / Say Goodbye to it All
Last Night
In a Country Churchyard
Ballroom of Romance
The Traveller
....all great story songs.
