Juliet (Keep That in Mind) - Thea Gilmore

They found sixth-form poetry scrawled on the walls

Of your old bedroom

And Friday night is going to free-fall

Through club lust, angel dust and sweet perfume

And you remind me of some art-house black and white I saw

They’d coloured it with chalk

And are you wise?

Wise beyond your years or

Or are you all talk?

Now, don’t you think something’s gotta happen soon?

It’s been so long now since they changed that tune

Oh, Juliet keep that in mind

Well there is something so beautifully chic

About burning out so young

When you accessorise with bruises on your cheek

And cool tricks of the tongue

You’re spending Saturday alone drowning heartache out

With cheap red wine

I know you want to make the news but lately all you do

Is memorise the headlines

Now, don’t you think something’s gotta happen soon?

It’s been so long now since they changed that tune

Oh, Juliet keep that in mind

Sometimes you’ll count the days

And sometimes you’ll just slip away

There are watches to unwind

And ladders still to climb

Now, don’t you think something’s gotta happen soon?

It’s been so long now since they changed that tune

Oh, Juliet keep that in mind

Don’t you think something’s gotta happen soon?

It’s been so long now since they changed that tune

Oh, Juliet keep that in mind

Keep that in mind

Keep that in mind

Juliet
