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?
