Gentleman's Dream Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

Juliet said to the night air 

'wherefore art thou romeo? ' 

He was beneath the balcony 

Hearing a word he didn't know 

Romeo said to juliet 

What does 'wherefore' mean? 

Juliet said 'why? 

We're only a gentleman's dream' 

Snow white said to cinders 

'the prince is always gone 

Fighting wars and inviting whores 

To sing him love's sweet song' 

Cinders said to snow white 

'charming's only letting off steam 

He's a gentleman 

And we're only a gentleman's dream' 

Amy said to the warden 

When I turn on my tv 

There's always someone I recognise 

And she's much better looking than me' 

Warden said 'lolita 

You're a star of the stage and screen 

Crime pays 

And you're only a gentleman's dream' 

Carmen said to the butterfly 

'how come every night 

I submit to my lover's will 

And walk on to that knife' 

Butterfly said 'well don't you know 

You're a symbol in a scheme 

Get a life 

You're only a gentleman's dream'
