Romeo And Juliet

Dire Straits

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 Juliet? 

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 
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?
