Romeo And Juliet (Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983)

So, your lovestruck Romeo, he's got your street serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

And he finds a street light, and he steps out of the shade

He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Goodness me, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me 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

(Juliet)

Now, we come up on a-different streets, but 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, so now your dream is real

How can you look at me, as if I'm just another one of your deals?

Well, 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, yeah, 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 sang, "I love you like the stars above", I said, "I'll love you 'til I die"

And there's a place for us, you know in the movie song

So, when you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet

(Juliet)

And I can't do the talk, no, like they're talkin' on the TV

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

I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you

I can't do anything 'xcept be in love with you

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

All I do is keep the beat, the rock and roll company

And 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 your stars above", you said "I'll love you 'til I die"

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

So, when you gonna realise, it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet

So, Romeo, he's got his street serenade

Laying everybody low with a love song that he made

He finds a street light, he steps out of the shade

He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Yeah, you and me, babe, so how about it?
