Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet + lyrics

Lyrics:

a lovestruck romeo sings the streets a 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 gave me a heart attack
he's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
you shoudn'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 dream 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?

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 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 realize it was just that the time was wrong?

I can't do the talk like the talk on the tv
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
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 the bad company
all I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion
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 Ill 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 the streets a 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?

Correction to lyrics..... "all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme" (not Orion). That's third verse from end, third line. But yeah, good work in getting the lyrics up here.

anyone notice the vague similarity between this and rhcp scar tissue (first time I'm hearing this song..) that I know of. maybe its just me..

[MrMindstatic1]

lyric is not " and the Bad Company" it's " and the BAND company.

[MrMindstatic1]

@Rev1913Rev1916 not to mention the incorrect lyric " and the bad company." it really goes " all i do is keep the beat and the BAND company."

@crazyhead74 nice way of looking at things :)

@Rev1913Rev1916

That's interesting. I always heard Orion too. Well, one of us can steal it for our own song. That's the great thing about mis-hearing lyrics you really love; they become your own.

I love this song so much.... Whenever my professors start talking about Shakespeare, even if we aren't reading Romeo and Juliet, I end up listening to this on repeat for weeks :D

My english teacher played The Killers version of this song in class and I decided to look up the original and in the beginning I preferred The Killers version but about 30 seconds later this version started to grow on me. God this song is amazing.
