Ten silver saxes

It's an evocative line and one, I am just sure, I might have remembered - but I don't.

I get the impression that the song might be about the music business itself. That makes me think of Jackson Browne's 'Stay', or Dire Straits' 'Sultans of Swing' or Bob Seger's 'Turn the Page'. The image of the 'silver saxes' makes me want to say it is a Dire Straits song. But I have no idea.

If I have heard it, as Bob has suggested, then why don't I remember this line? I am eager to know the answer.
