Dire Straits. I'm in awe of Knopfler. Romeo and Juliet would probably be one of my desert island songs. It's as substantial a take off on the old Shakespeare theme as West Side Story is. And talk about dynamics. Wow! Check out the imagery in that lyric. Wow, I've listened to two songs in this thread and both lyrics surprise me. This lyric here looks like a train wreck! Thanks for showcasing these songs, kinda opens my eyes. Two songs and neither seem to me to be very good lyrics, yet, they work. I guess what I am saying is that it seems to me that if you take songs like this and couple them to a well-crafted lyric, you would have a better song. JMO.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
