A strait is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water. It most commonly refers to a channel of water that lies between two land masses, but it may also refer to a navigable channel through a body of water that is otherwise not navigable, for example because it is too shallow, or because it contains an unnavigable reef or archipelago.
The terms channel, pass or passage, can be synonymous and used interchangeably with strait, although each is sometimes differentiated with varying senses. In Scotland firth or kyle are also sometimes used as synonyms for strait.
Many straits are economically important. Straits can be important shipping routes, and wars have been fought for control of them.
Numerous artificial channels, called canals, have been constructed to connect two bodies of water over land, such as the Suez Canal. Although rivers and canals often provide passage between two large lakes or a lake and a sea, and these seem to suit the formal definition of strait, they are not usually referred to as such. The term strait is typically reserved for much larger, wider features of the marine environment. There are exceptions, with straits being called canals, Pearse Canal, for example.

Visit Dire Straits Store = http://bit.do/direstraitsstore Dire Straits was a British rock band, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler lead vocals and lead guitar, his younger brother David Knopfler ,rhythm guitar and backing vocals, John Illsley bass guitar and backing vocals, and Pick Withers drums and percussion. Dire Straits' sound drew from a variety of musical influences, including jazz, folk, and blues, and came closest to beat music within the context of rock and roll. Despite the prominence of punk rock during the band's early years, the band's stripped-down sound contrasted with punk, demonstrating a more "rootsy" influence that emerged from pub rock. Many of Dire Straits' compositions were melancholic. Dire Straits' biggest selling album, Brothers in Arms, has sold over 30 million co...

even lady luck
she said she could not help
she's just a dead end queen
keep her away from me
she said, "keep her away from me,
i don't even like to see her breathe
i can't stand staring at the face of me
girl, stay away from me"
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
a misjustice
i think you've misjudged us
we're not a charlatan
and we don't got no gun, no
wait, just let me see
get close enough to use my telepathy
i'll drain a little piece of you into me
then, i won't get shot
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
oh no, she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
oh NOOOO
oh NOOOO
oh NOOOO
she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's the dead end queen, she's the dead end queen
oh now, she's a dead end queen
she's not the kind that you want to be seen with
she's a dead end queen, she's a dead end queen
take it, take it all away
take it, take it all away from her
take it, take it all away
