The killers - Romeo And Juliet (Live from Abbey Road)

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song 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 shouldn't come around here, singing up 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 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 if 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, 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
I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"
And there's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk, like the talk 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'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 the bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of Orion
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry
I 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, Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo,kristinas dopeee he sings the streets of serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

El guitarrista se parece a Bunbury, jajaj

[Reyrey2431]

What a fantastic version. They sound sensational.

[janni1605]

awesome song!

[Helena7604]

No one can do it like Mark Knopfler

[uintasolitude12]

It wasn't Knopfler. It was a female songwriter, name escapes me. She also wrote other hits incld. at least one ballad for Aerosmith....the Armageddon one.

[LyricalLies14]

E sharp is F

[monkeymelxXx]

isnt it E and F#? x

[lukehinton122]

Its E and E#

[Baseball16Soccer]

does anyone know the notes for piano that do the intro ?

[Bartjeuhh2]

dire straits did, a quite old bad but they also have beautiful music, listen to them if you like this:)

[dhofmannuo]

This does not even compare to the original. Its a travesty. If you want to see a remarkable performance watch the Dire Straits version Live from Wembley.

[laurajane7433]

Mark Knopfler frm the band Dire Straits :-)

[branhs2002]
