Lyrics
Romeo & Juliet (Lyrics by Randolf Shakespeare)

my friend said hey romeo
you don't let me into your home no mo'
i said, well julie, you know the score
with our two families at all-out war

and it's a ****ing tragedy
we wish they'd all just let us be
one big happy family
like we were all supposed to be

we need to find a remedy
cos if they found you here with me
you know they'd scream of blasphemy
heresy, 1-2-3

man

boy bod sod their god

my friend said it's ok cos they're all sleeping
we spend a moment cuddling, not weeping
and dream one day together we'll be seeking
a home where we can play without their peeking

the problem is it's not a ****ing love song
critics always seem to get that part wrong
it's tragedy, plain to see,
parents kill their progeny
sophistry, idolatry, bigotry, 1-2-3

black
whack
white
grey

straight hate
gate gay

and it's a ****ing tragedy
we wish they'd all just let us be
one big happy family
like we were all supposed to be

we need to find a remedy
cos if they found you here with me
you know they'd scream of blasphemy
jealousy, let us be

free
love
be
love
see

Gimme a bouncy "C"
Playful, flowing, minimalistic, bouncy. Nice horns. Overall great groove. Would've liked to hear a change-up in the middle, maybe a back-and-forth lyric, but the little pauses assist.

Cheers Joe..
Almost everything in the mix is dry (unusual for me) except for a little room ambience in the master. Sorta works...

Excellent
This is really well done. I see the Terry Hall vibe now you mention the name. A little touch of Ian Dury for me, too. Great wit and lovely musical inventiveness throughout. The lyrics are excellent, and the guitar is lovely. Very cool. Nicely done. Kudos, gents. Peace.

It was one of those pieces where I did the whole thing dry - intending to add lots of effects - but it sounded so much better without them!

This is an original piece...
but I suppose it has the feel of a classic... unless you meant the play... I see what you mean.

Thanks for listening!

This is so
intellectually stimulating because of the wordplay. Shakespeare would approve.
I thought of Benny Hill and his madcap spoofs... I don't know why. Thanks, guys.
