#VERSE
Juliet lurks in boutiques
Down on Carnaby Street
Authentic threads from the sixties
Every piece unique
Hunting vintage treasures
She grabs all she can get
Tells everyone she meets
“Hi, I’m Retro Juliet!”
#PRE-CHORUS
She loves reliving
What she never lived before
Warm memories so real
Were years before she was born
#CHORUS
Retro Juliet
She says, “Today is scary, but the past is no threat
Life was built of love beads and the Sixty-Seven ‘Vette
That’s the life I’ll never forget
’Cause I’m Retro Juliet”
#VERSE
Fake leopard skin jacket
Red cat eye shades
Blue dress, purple necklace
All rewound and replayed
#PRE-CHORUS
Vintage clothes are her lifeline
Her relief from despair
Relives the world of the sixties
Though she’s never been there
#CHORUS
Retro Juliet
She says, “Today is scary, but the past is no threat
And no one gave you shit if you smoked a cigarette
That’s the life I’ll never forget
’Cause I’m Retro Juliet”
#BRIDGE
She collects cherished memories
As she cherry-picks the past
Jumps to a life she never lived
Through Alice’s looking glass
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
While binge watching tv
A documentary came on
All about the nineteen sixties
A different picture was drawn
#PRE-CHORUS
It wasn’t cute clothes
It was joy mixed with pain
Prejudice, wars, uprisings
And today’s… just the same
#CHORUS
Retro Juliet
She says, “I love those old days, but I have one regret
Wish I could have been there to help mend all the mess
’Cause we haven’t mended those messes yet”
#CHORUS
Retro Juliet
She says, “I can’t turn back time, can’t undo the mess
But those years have the styles that I like best
I’ll always be Retro Juliet
I’ll always be Retro Juliet
I’ll always be Retro Juliet
