| Thank You Scotland (Personal Nostalgia Thread) For Mark Knopfler - I didn't know he was a 'Weagie'  One of the most talented musicians of all time in my opinion. Dire Straits takes me back, they were my Dad's favourite band and his favourite song was Romeo and Juliet. It was the first real concert I went to, my Dad took me to see Dire Straits at the Bruce Stadium in Canberra for my birthday just before I left to join the Army, it's one of my last memories of him. I've just been listening to it remembering him so I thought I'd share the lyrics of an excellent song for all the rest of you Dire Straits fans. I know there's a few here. 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'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 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 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? 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? In fact I love the entire Making Movies album, would have to be some of their best work.   |

You're going to have to do much better than that. You and I have played this game already with Pink Floyd songs and you couldn't get me  I like old people's music, it's great |
