Alan C. Duncan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

DUNCAN SHEIK DID NOT SING THIS SONG.
The versions out right now by the *artist* Pancho's Lament
(self titled album) and by David Crosby/James Raymond/Beth Hart
Both versions were used as theme song for Jack and Jill tv show.

When it comes down to this
juliet she's caught on to the clues
you know the one's that she missed
the one's that we knew
now she's got the news
she understands
she's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hands

juliet she won't come down
her heads high in the castle her hearts underground
it's as if "she didn't know"
the truth about romeo

the tables have turned
juliet she's got this brand new idea
and a few lessons that she's learned
how could she be so blind
in a spotlight so clear
now she understands
she's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hands

juliet...

what if he did love her
it sure did not show
there's a certain kind of sincerity
and when you know you'll know
i think she should go now
the truth doesn't lie




the truth doesn't lie
the truth doesn't lie

Overall Meaning

The song describes how Juliet has caught on to the clues that she missed before and finally understands that she's not all wrapped up in the palm of his hands. It's clear that Romeo never truly loved her and Juliet was simply blinded by her infatuation. The tables have turned, and Juliet now has a brand new idea and a few lessons learned. The singer suggests that it is time for Juliet to go now that she knows the truth, as the truth does not lie.


The song highlights the theme of disillusionment and the pain of realizing the truth when it's too late. Juliet's realization about Romeo's love for her is a universal theme that can be applied to various aspects of life, such as relationships, career, and personal growth. The song's lyrics are poetic and symbolic, making it a timeless classic. Duncan's lyrics remind us of the importance of facing the truth, no matter how hard it may be, as it helps to move forward in life.

Duncan is right and he was on a roll until Joe derailed it.
He's absolutely one of my favorite guests.
