4.	7:31	Romeo And Juliet
		Lyrics: **Romeo and Juliet** Narrator: A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Finds a street light, steps out of the shade Says something like, "Youand me babe, how about it?" Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you nearlygave me a heart attack" He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Heyla, my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that" Anyway, what you gonna do about it? Romeo: Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start, And I bet, then you exploded in my heart, And I forget, I forget, the movie song When you gonna realize, itwas 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 yourdeals? Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chainsof gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah 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 realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet? I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV And I can't doa love song, like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you And all I do is miss you, and the way we used to be All I do is keep thebeat, the bad company And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme Julie, I'd do the stars with you, anytime Ah 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 Whenyou gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet? Narrator: And a lovestruck Romeo he sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade And says something like, "You and me babe, how 'bout it?" Romeo: "You and me babe, how about it?" **********
5.	13:15	Sultans of Swing
		Lyrics: **Sultans of Swing** You get a shiver in the dark It's raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing Dixie double four time You feel alright when you hear that music ring Well now you step inside but you don't seetoo many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Competition in other places Ah but the horns, they blowing that sound Way ondown south, way on down south, London town You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords Mind, he's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing Yes, and an old guitar is all he can afford Whenhe gets up under the lights to play his thing And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright He can play the honky tonk like anything Saving it up for Friday night With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing And a crowd of young boys,they're fooling around in the corner Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band It ain't what they call rock and roll Then the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans they play Creole Creole And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone And says at last, just as the time bell rings "Goodnight, now it's time to go home" Then he makes it fast with one more thing "We are the Sultans, we are the Sultans of Swing" **********
6.	8:55	Brothers In Arms
		Lyrics: **Brothers in Arms** These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battles raged higher And though we were hurt so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desertme My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid youfarewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight Andevery line in your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms **********
7.	6:35	Money For Nothing
		Lyrics: **Money for Nothing** Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and chicks for free Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gottamove these refrigerators We gotta move these color TV's See the little faggot with the earring and the make-up Yeah buddy that's his own hair That little faggot got his own jet airplane That little faggot he's millionaire We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these color TV's Ishoulda' learned to play the guitar I shoulda' learned to play them drums Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera Man we could have some fun And he's up there, what's that ? Hawaiian noises ? Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee That ain't workin' that's the way you doit Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free We gotta install ovens Custom kitchen deliveries We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these color TV's, Lord Now that ain't workin' that's theway you do it You play the guitar on the MTV That ain't workin' that'sthe way you do it Money for nothin' get your chicks for free Money fornothin' get chicks for free **********
