Romeo was restless, he was ready to kill.
He jumped out the window cause he couldn't sit still.
Juliet was waiting with a safety net.
He said "Don't bury me cause I'm not dead yet".
Why don't you tell me 'bout the mystery dance.
I wanna know about the mystery dance.
Why don't you show me,
'cause I've tried and I've tried,
and I'm still mystified.
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied.
I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied.
Well I remember when the lights went out
and I was tryin' to make it look like it was never in doubt.
She thought that I knew, and I thought that she knew,
so both of us were willing, but we didn't know how to do it.
chorus
Well I was down under the covers in the middle of the night,
tryin' to discover my left foot from my right.
You can see those pictures in any magazine.
But what's the use of looking when you don't know what they mean.
chorus

My Aim Is True Part 9.
I first listened to this in 1977 and it still rocks. As do I.

Link Wray influence...some Eddie Cochran (20 Flight Rock) thrown in...this LP came outta nowhere in the Summer of 1977 and punched everyone in the gut with its short (2 minutes or so each) bursts of pure pop bliss.

yes mate, a metaphor, based around the drawings they used to put on teen mags in the 60's to show a new dance. you could never learn the steps from those pics...
if you like this, check out cliff richard's first couple of albums. the lead break on this is listed straight off a shadows tune.
