Mark Knopfler - Romeo and Juliet (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - Romeo and Juliet Live at the Royal Albert Hall lyrics]
A lovestruck Romeo sings
A streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a
Lovesong that he made
Finds a 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 was 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 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 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
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?
And 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?
A streetsuss serenade
Laying everybody low with a
Lovesong that he made
Finds a 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
