Even
after all these years, I miss you when your not here, I wish
you were here my dear Yoko,
Even if it's just a day, I miss
you when your away, I wish you were here today dear Yoko,
Even
if it's just one night, I miss you and it don't feel right, I
wish you were here tonight dear Yoko,
Even if it's just an
hour, I wilt just like a fading flower, Ain't nothing in the
world like our love dear Yoko,
Oh Yoko! I'll never ever
ever ever gonna let you go, Oh Yoko! I'll never ever ever ever
gonna let you go,
Even when I'm miles at sea, And nowhere
is the place to be, Your spirit's watching over me dear
Yoko,
Even when I watch T.V. There's hole where your
supposed to be, There's nobody lying next to me,
Oh
Yoko! I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go, Oh Yoko! I'll
never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Even after all this
time, I miss you like the sun don't shine, Without you I'm a
one track mind dear Yoko,
After all is really said and
done, The two of us are really one, The goddess really smiled
upon our love dear Yoko.

Getting
crazy on the waltzers But it's the life that I choose Hey, sing
about the six-blade, sing about the switchback And a torture
tattoo And I've been riding on a ghost train Where the cars
they scream and slam And I don't know where I'll be tonight But
I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I've
seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races,
yeah Just like me she was a victim of the night I put a hand
upon the lever Said, "Let it rock and let it roll" I
had the one arm bandit fever There was an arrow through my heart
and my soul
And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning
up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low
ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah, love
It's
just the danger, danger when you're riding at your own risk She
said, "You are the perfect stranger" She said, "Baby,
let's keep it like this" It's just a cake walk, twisting
baby, yeah, step right up and say "Hey Mister, give me two,
give me two now, 'cause any two can play"
And the big
wheel keep on turning Neon burning up above And I'm just high
on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the
tunnel of love Oh, love, love
Well, it's been money for
muscle on another whirligig Money for muscle and another girl I
dig Another hustle just to, just to make it big And rock away,
rock away Oh, rock away, rock away
And girl, it looks so
pretty to me Like it always did Oh, like the Spanish City to
me When-a we were kids Hey girl, it looks so pretty to me Just
like it always did Oh, like the Spanish City to me When-a we
were kids
Check it out!
She took off a silver
locket She said, "Remember me by this" She put her
hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar
of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could
have caught up with her easy enough But something must have made
me stay
And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning up
above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low
ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah, love, love,
love On the tunnel of love Oh, love, love
And now I'm
searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Searching
everywhere from steeplechase to palisades In any shooting gallery
where promises are made To rock away, rock away Rock away, rock
away From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay Out to rock away
And
girl, it looks so pretty to me Like it always did Like the
Spanish City to me When we were kids Girl, it looks so pretty
to me Like it always did Like the Spanish City to me When we
were kids

I
went out walking the other day Seen a little girl crying along the
way She'd been hurt so bad said she'd never love again Someday
your crying, girl will end And you'll find once again
Two
hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two
hearts are better than one
Once I spent my time playing tough
guy scenes But I was living in a world of childish dreams Someday
these childish dreams must end To become a man and grow up to
dream again Now I believe in the end
Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better
than one
Sometimes it might seem like it was planned For
you to roam empty hearted through this land Though the world turns
you hard and cold There's one thing mister, that I know That's
if you think your heart is stone And that you're rough enough to
whip this world alone Alone buddy there ain't no peace of
mind That's why I'll keep searching till I find my special
one
Two hearts are better than one Two hearts girl get the
job done Two hearts are better than one Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts girl get the job done Two hearts are better
than one Two hearts are better than one Ooh

letra:
It
seems like yesterday But it was long ago Janey was lovely she
was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio
playing low, and And the secrets that we shared The mountains
that we moved Caught like a wildfire out of control 'Til there
was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove And I remember
what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I
remember how she held me oh-so-tight Wish I didn't know now what I
didn't know then
Against the wind We were runnin'
against the wind We were young and strong, we were runnin' against
the wind
The years rolled slowly past And I
found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my
friends I found myself further and further from my home, and
I Guess I lost my way There were oh-so-many roads I was
living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or
even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a
time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find
myself searching Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind A little something
against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifter's days are past me
now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and
commitments What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind I'm still runnin'
against the wind I'm older now but still runnin' against the
wind Well I'm older now and still runnin' Against the
wind Against the wind Against the wind
Still runnin' (against the wind) I'm
still runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) I'm still
runnin' (Against the wind) I'm still runnin' against the
wind (Against the wind) still runnin' (Against the wind)runnin'
against the wind, runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) see
the young man run (Against the wind) watch the young man
run (Against the wind) watch the young man runnin' (Against the
wind) he'll be runnin' against the wind (Against the wind) let the
cowboys ride (Against the wind) aah (Against the wind) let the
cowboys ride (Against the wind) they'll be ridin' against the
wind (Against the wind) against the wind (Against the wind)
ridin' against the wind...

por Mark Knopfler, foi gravada entre 20 de junho e 25 de agosto de
1980, no Power Station Studio, em New York City e lançada em 15 de
outubro de 1980, no disco Making movies, o terceiro disco da banda.
Sairia também em compacto, em 9 de janeiro de 1981, com Solid rock
como Lado B. Foi produzida por Mark Knopfler e Jimmy Iovine. A letra
fala da história dos dois amantes do título, deixando entender que
Julieta abandonou Romeu por outro cara, depois que ficou famosa e
saiu do bairro pobre onde morava. Além de fazer referencia à peça
de Shakespeare Romeu e Julieta, também faz referencia às peças
West Side Story e My boyfriend's back. A canção começa com um
arpégio no violão, tocado por Knopfler em um violão National Style
O, a mesma que está na capa do LP Brothers in Arms, de 1985. O lick
de piano foi feito por Roy Bittan e ele pegou emprestado um pouco do
lick que ele mesmo fez pra canção Jungleland, do disco Born to run,
de Bruce Springsteen. Roy Bittan fazia parte da E-Street Band, banda
de Bruce. A canção foi inspirada no romance que Knopfler teve com
Holly Vincent. Ela era cantora de uma banda chamada Holly and The
Italians. Na canção, Knopfler fala de um Romeu (ele mesmo) que ama
sua Julieta mas ela o trata como “just another one of her deals”,
ou seja, apenas como mais um. Mark Knopfler já disse que pensa que
ela o usou pra ganhar promoção na carreira dela. Tem uma frase que
diz: “Now you just say oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a
scene with him”, referente à uma entrevista que ela deu na época
onde ela diz: “What happened was that I had a scene with Mark
Knopfler and it got to the point where he couldn't handle it and we
split up”. Chegou ao número 8 no Reino Unido e número 5 na
Irlanda. Mark Knopfler tocou volão, cantou e tocou guitarra. John
Illsley tocou baixo. Pick Withers tocou bateria e percussão e Roy
Bittan tocou piano e orgão Hammond.
A
letra:
A
lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a 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 was loaded from
the start And I bet, and you exploded into my heart And I
forget, I forget the movie song When you gonna realize 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, 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 'til 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 talks like they talk on
the TV And I can't do a 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 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, the 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 'til 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?"
And a lovestruck Romeo, he sang the
streets a serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he
made Find a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade He
says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"
