Lyrics:
a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsusss 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’s romeo you nearly gimme 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 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 realise 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 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?
when 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 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’ll love you till i die
there’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’t do the talk like they 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’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 bad company
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 the stars above i’ll love you till i die
and there’s a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong 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?

This is the perfect song about longing. I listened to it in the back of my dad's car when I was a kid, longing to grow up and understand and feel how song described. As a young man, it described how I longed for the women that I loved and lost. And now I watch it and miss the young man I was, and what it felt like to be young, to be in love, and have my heart broken. It's so bittersweet - beautiful and sad, makes me nostalgic and also connected to each period of my life. It feels so personal, yet when I read all the comments here, I realise I'm just one of many that feels that way.

I grew up in Hungary, Central Europe, in the 90's that was post-communist, expecting a lot from America and itself at the end of the cold war. I grew up on this song blasting from my grandad's radio while I played football with my cousin in the yard, surrounded by the flowers my grandma planted. It was such a special time. We thought everything was possible and we only needed to reach for the sky. I'm living in the US now, but no feeling is as sweet as dreaming away in 90's Hungary, thinking that the world was my oyster.

The line "It was just that the time was wrong" gets me.
So many of us must know that feeling of completely falling for someone, but not being able to do anything about it.

i’m 17 and this song is just on another level compared to nowadays songs (and to older ones too), too good, too flipping good thank you dire straights for gifting us with this beautiful masterpiece that will forever be 100/100

Mark Knopfler is criminally underrated as a songwriter. This and Brothers In Arms are two standout songs that should be preserved in the Library of Congress.

Who else thinks the line " I'll do the stars with you ,anytime yet " is just so beautiful , gee words are so powerful and some bands seem to get it right ,dire straights did xx

When I was a kid, my father played this song in the car all the time. He died 5 years ago, it just makes me think of my childhood and life before it all got too complicated

There’s something slightly magical about the fade out on this song. I’m 44 years old, but whenever I watch this now, by the time the song is fading out I am right back to being that 12 year old boy in the mid-80’s, watching it with the lights off in my bedroom on my small portable television, playing from a beat up old VHS player clunking away a pirated copy I recorded from VH1, and with my old CB radio crackling away from under my bunk-bed.
It’s like a time-machine, yet timeless in itself.

This song holds more meaning for me than anyone could imagine. I was with my significant other for almost 30 years. We had separated, lived apart for a couple of years, still seeing each other almost everyday. By chance we ended up back together and it was so beautiful that we had a chance to fall in love all over again until after being 12 years in remission, he ended up with fatal brain cancer and was given not even 4 weeks to live. He graciously lived for over 5 more months and yet even being bed ridden and paralyzed on one side, my children and I were by his side. We all were blessed to have that time with him and he was so happy even considering the circumstances. He passed away and I was there for every moment including his last breath. There was a time long ago when he said to me... "You and me babe, how bout it? "... This song is so precious to me and I'll never forget those words. When this song appears in my feed, knowing I'm going to cry like a baby , I have no choice but to listen... Scott, you made my life complete. I miss you so much. Even though you've been gone for 2 and a half years already, it's fresh like it was yesterday. I'll forever hold our memories deep in my heart and remember your last breath you were still trying to say I love you even though you couldn't speak. I miss you so very much. Maybe one day we'll be together again. I'll forever be about you babe. Always and forever until we meet again my love... Thank you to whomever took the time to read this. Our love is forever and Romeo and juliet do truly exist. ♥️
