'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet veteran
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter and
And dingoes passing us by.
And then goes passing us by.
City lights
See the lights
Good Charlotte tell me how to feel
They're trying to tell me how to feel
Good Charlottes tell me how to feel
They're trying to tell me how to feel
Mary meet Juliette
You'll never have to be alone
Marry me Juliette
You'll never have to be alone
Raisin bread
Raisin bread
All he was buyin' was just raisin bread
Rags & old iron
Rags & old iron
All he was buyin' was just rags & old iron
As the sample is used standalone (i.e. without any other lyrics for context) in the Layo & Bushwacka track "Love Story" (and the excellent remix/mash-up of Love Story with Finally feat. Kings of Convenience which has a lot more lyrics), I think it actually sounds just fine to make it into a song about bread.
Romeo save me, they drive it to the outfield
This love is difficult but it's real
Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult but it's real
Romeo, save me, Good Charlotte tell me how to feel.
Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel.
See the lights
See the party toboggans
See you make your way through the crowd
And say "Hello", little did I know
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way though the crowd
And say "Hello", little did I know
That she loved hot sauce and duck?
That she loved Mozart and Bach?
This love is typical, but it's surreal
This love is difficult, but it's real
This love is typical
But it's the real deal
This love is difficult
But it's real
You are mean, baby.
You and me, baby
A cover of a Randy Newman song, later covered by Harry Nilsson. John Peel dedicated a version by a pre-'Godspell' David Essex to his pet tortoise!
You can be the king and I'll be the princess,
It's no love story, daddy just incest
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby just say yes
