Romeo And Juliet
|
(Mark Knopfler)
|
|
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 realise 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 if 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
|
|
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 realise it was just that the time was wrong?
|
|
I can't do the talk like they talk on TV
|
And I can't do a love song like the way it's 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
|
Julie 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
|
And there's a place for us you know the movie song
|
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
|
|
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?
