I can’t do everything but I’ll do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you
& all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

Yesterday Remembers
Holding you oh so terribly close
while fighting back a single tear
yesterday remembers us as lovers
but yesterday's no longer here
now as Romeo and Juliet we are
watching the stars playing our song
again and again that same refrain
*it was just that the time was wrong
*When you gonna realize
It was just that the time was wrong
- Dire Straits Romeo And Juliet

I think you all need to read the story of Stuart Gordon and Jeffrey Combs Australian hijinks.
Text reads: Jeffrey Combs had brought along a cassette of the Dire Straits album On Every Street and, during filming, their song "Heavy Fuel" became our theme song. Lines like, "My life makes perfect sense: Lust and food and violence really spoke to us in those days, and when we discovered that Dire Straits was on tour in nearby Brisbane that weekend, Jeffrey and I immediately got ourselves a couple of tickets. We drove to the concert in my rented car (steering wheel on the right), playing the cassette at full volume as we smoked half a bag of weed. We arrived at the venue, jumping out of the car in a cloud of smoke, and we rushed into the arena. It was the best concert ever. Mark Knopfler's solos were mind-bending, and when they went into "Heavy Fuel, Jeffrey and I went apeshit.
After the concert, we stumbled out of the arena, found our car and discovered that the motor was still running!
"Oh shit!" Jeffrey screamed grabbing his head, "We've locked the keys in the car!" I reached for the door handle, and to my shock and surprise, it swung right open. I had left the car unlocked with the motor running during the entire concert. Even more amazing, no one had stolen it.
