Dire Straits - "Romeo And Juliet"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tim4VzHUUyQ



A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade,
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made.
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade,
Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme a heart attack",
He's underneath the window 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 dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?"

Come up on different streets - They both were streets of shame.
Both dirty both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same,
"And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals?"

"When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold,
You can fall for pretty strangers, and the promises they hold.
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin,
Now you just say 'Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him'"

J"uliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said 'I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die',
There's a place for us, you know the movie song,
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?"

"I can't do the talk like they talking on the T.V.,
And I can't do a love song like the way its meant to be,
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you,
I can't do anything except be in love with you".

"And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be.
All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme.
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time.

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry,
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die,
There's a place for us you know the movie song,
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade,
Laying everybody low with a love-song that he made,
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade,
Says something like "You and me babe how about it?"
