Dire Straits – Romeo and Juliet

A lovestruck Romeo the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight, out of the shade

Says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”

–

Juliet says, “Hey it’s Romeo. You nearly gave me a attack”

He’s underneath the ; she’s singing, “Hey, la, my boyfriend’s back.

You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that.

Anyway what you gonna do about it?”

–

Juliet, the was loaded from the start

And I bet, then you exploded in my

And I forget, I forget the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was , Juliet?

–

Come up on different streets, they both were of shame

Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the

And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is

How can you look at me as if I was just one of your deals?

–

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of

You can fall for pretty strangers and the they hold

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and , yeah.

Now you just say, “Oh Romeo, yeah. You know, I used to have a scene with him.”

–

Juliet, when we made love you used to

You said, “I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I .”

There’s a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was , Juliet?

–

I can’t do the talks like they on the TV

And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s to be

I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for

I can’t do anything except be in with you

–

And all I do is you and the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat, the bad company

All I do is you through the bars of a rhyme

Julie, I’d do the stars with you any time

–

Juliet, when we made you used to cry

You said, “I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I .”

There’s a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was , Juliet?

–

And a lovestruck Romeo the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

Find a convenient streetlight, out of the shade

And says something like, “You and me babe, how about it?”

–

“You and me babe, how about it?”
