A lonely Romeo, who never met his Juliet
up to the knees in drugs, and the eyes in debt
staggering round from pub to pub, another night lost
it all seems worthwhile, till he realizes the cost
A romantic soul in a world full of shame
wants love straight forward, don't wanna play the game
But no my lad -- not in this day n age
everyones an actor -- every pubs a stage
they get their costumes -- from every high street shop
£80 for trousers!! -- 40 for a top!
And yet they all look the same
no conscience, class or shame!
Well our Romeo's older now, and still no love or passion
and as the years are passing he's losing touch with fashion
Meanwhile Juliet's out clubbing with her friends
Kissing all the boys and following all the trends
Poor Romeo, in the 21st century
decides to himself, 'this ain't no life for me'.
