Romeo & Juliet – Peter McPoland (feat. Peter McPoland)
By
Some day down the road, I hope to be your Romeo I’ll climb the wires to your landline While you’re crying on the telephone And you’re sitting, feet dangling Cheeks so rosy red and saying “Baby, I was so upset, I thought you’d never set me free” (“Hello? “)
I’d say, “Oh, I love you” to my Juliet “If you only knew, I’d kill for you I am for you I am just who you need me to be Let’s get down and let’s grow old This fire escape is getting cold I love that dress, I love the rest Of all that you’ve got going on”
One day when the lines have all been read and memorized I hope you mean it when you say that I am yours and you are mine See me down here, on my knees I’m begging, won’t you marry me? I love that dress, I love the rest So Julie let the show go on
But how do you know? Is it just something hitting you? Do you remember a bit of “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” now? Yes (Look, just do a bit for me) No (Why not? I don’t, I don’t mean, I don’t mean an acting bit) I mean, just the words Um (Look, my babe, it’s done so many times) Oh, for goodness sake Alright, do another bit, any bit Um Um, oh, God, I have an I’ll-divining soul
