Romeo and Juliet met. They fell in love. He said, "It's Your Latest Trick!"
But they got Tangled up in Blue and Romeo had to say that it's just Abandoned Love now. He's got to wear the Badge, though.

Romeo and Juliet (Dire Straits):
[It's the whole song: I can't choose particular lines.]

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus 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 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, Juliet?

I can't do the talk like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song like the way its 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
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 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?


Your Latest Trick (Dire Straits):

The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick.

Tangled Up in Blue (Bob Dylan):

Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.


Abandoned Love (Bob Dylan):

Everybody's wearing a disguise
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes.
But me, I can't cover what I am
Wherever the children go I'll follow them.


Badge (Eric Clapton and George Harrison):

Thinking bout the times you drove in my car
Thinking that I might have drove you too far
And I'm thinking bout the love that you laid on my table.
