Juliet
Four Pennies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She broke my heart, left me unsure
Juliet, don't forget
The promise you made, I need never be afraid
Things you do, reminiscent of you
Juliet, when we, when we met
You gave me, sweet memories
Things you do reminiscent of you
She broke my heart, left me unsure
Juliet, don't you, oh don't you let
My love go astray, in this way
Julie , Julie, Julie, oh Julie
Oh my Juliet, Julie oh Julie
Oh my Juliet...fades...
The lyrics of Four Pennies’s song ‘Juliet’ tell a story of heartbreak and searching for love. The singer speaks of a former lover who broke his heart and left him unsure, comparing her to his current love interest, Juliet. He pleads with Juliet not to forget the promise she made to him, reassuring him that he need never be afraid. The singer finds solace in memories of his old flame, and sees similarities between her and Juliet. He implores Juliet not to let his love go astray, and repeats her name over and over again, as if trying to convince himself that she is the one who will heal his heart.

When I first heard this as young child I wanted to learn to play guitar! That superb intro is awesome! My late parents got me guitar lessons and I became that guitarist - Thank you mum and dad and th Four Pennies.

One of my 60's favourites. My mother loved it also. It was so different to everything at the time. Pity it was so short.

Saw them the last night they ever performed at the Starlight Club near Blackburn with my girlfriend. Been married to her for 52 years I am 76 years of age still love all these great bands.

I was there on their farewell tour and the starlight club was one of the places they played. Another venue that same week was down Burnley. The drummer Alan Buck refused to join them, so I was invited to play drums, but got just beaten to the post by another drummer. I was invited to cruise around to their final gigs with them.
