NARRATOR:
A love-struck 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 to people like that...
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
ROMEO:
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into 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're both the streets of shame.
Both dirty, both mean, yes, in the dream it 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?
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.
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til 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?
I can't do the talk, like the 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'll do anything for you.
I can't do anything, 'cept 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.
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,
Juliet, 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 'til 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?
NARRATOR:
And a love-struck Romeo sings a street-suss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

The lyric "All I do is miss you and the way we used to be" makes me tear up everytime, over my ex. I don't want to be with him again, but I miss the way it used to be. Such a beautiful song so perfect for anyone in or out of love. It can make you cry with joy and sadness. So perfect.

For the girl on the beach | Reviewer: Huseyin | 6/21/09
Although I always thought I could never be in love, I listen to this song and remember the girl I've fallen in love on the beach 2 weeks ago. What a moment that was.
5 star song... Actually a million star song...

Wow...my first real boyfried played this for me when I was 15 and he was 17. We were so in love and the line 'when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong' is so true. Beautiful song.

"Juliet, when we made love you used to cry."
Oh, god, do you remember the first time you made love, and it was so beautiful you wanted to cry? And maybe you did.
I had totally forgotten that moment until I heard that line.
FYI - the lyric "There's a place for us, you know the movie song" is a reference to a song title / lyric from West Side Story, which of course, is a re-imagining of the Romeo and Juliet story. Very genius reference by Knopfler. I also like the last lyric which implies that Romeo may have several 'Juliet's - maybe he isn't the hero the song makes him seem to be....

We read every word of the play together, watched the Zeffirelli, 1968 movie, and then the one with Leonardo and Claire Danes. Wish I'd known of this song, because it it ties the story all together, the drama, the movies, the music, the present. Best story I had the privilege to teach.
I love this song! | Reviewer: MArion | 1/22/08
This song is awesome, it conveys so much emotion and it's so touching, I love it. It is deffinetly better than the killer's version - Brandon's voice ruins what this orignal version has like at the end when he goes " you and me babe, hwo about it?" . It's adorable. ♥
Amazing | Reviewer: Andrea92 | 1/12/08
Maybe the best, under all the points of view, song I have ever heard, of course one of the best 5...
A little drop of love, magic and emotion in the everyday world.
