"Another 'Pre-Professional Recording'
made in my bedroom and later broadcast 
for the first time by Charlie Gillett 
on his BBC Radio London programme 'Honkey Tonk'. 
We discussed recording it for Charlie's Oval
Records label, but before this could happen 
Jake Riviera heard the song on a tape which 
I hand-delivered to Stiff Records on the day 
they opened for business with the release of 
Nick Lowe's 'So It Goes'. Although it was the
first (and only) demo Stiff had recieved, 
I became the second signing to the new label".










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"

Chorus 

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)
