What are you listening to?

OhMyGoodGod, and ForAllTheGodzOnTheCloudz... longest post ever in the history of this blessed thread!! I'm gonna die for daring so much. Aye.


Now listening to Dire Straits - "Romeo And Juliet"...

<< A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss 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?".

Juliet says "hey it&#8217;s Romeo... you nearly gimme a heart attack"...
He&#8217;s underneath the window, she&#8217;s singing "hey la, my boyfriend&#8217;s back"...
You shouldn&#8217;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 the movie song...
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong... Juliet?

Come up on differents streets, 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 and your dream is real:
how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

Where 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 think and thin.
Now you just says "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&#8217;ll love you till I die".
There&#8217;s a place for us, you know the movie song...
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong... Juliet ?

I can&#8217;t do the talk like they talk on tv,
and I can&#8217;t do a love song like the way it&#8217;s meant to be.
I can&#8217;t do everything but I&#8217;d do anything for you...
I can&#8217;t do anything except be in love with you.

And all I do is miss you... and the way we used to be.
All do is keep the beat, and bad company.
All I do is kiss you... through the bars of a rhyme.
Juliet, I&#8217;d do the stars with you... anytime.

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry...
You said "I love you like the stars above, I&#8217;ll love you till I die".
There&#8217;s a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
