Romeo And Juliet
Fadin' Colours Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a little something I want to do.
Gonna buy something I can ride in
Take my girl dating at the drive-in,
Our love's gonna be written down in history
Just like Romeo and Juliet
I'm gonna buy her pretty presents,
Gonna show her how much I lover her
Let her know that one way or the other,
Our love's gonna be written down in history
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Right now I'm speculating,
Wonder what to morrow's gonna really bring.
If I don't find work tomorrow
It's gonna be heartaches and sorrow,
Our love's gonna be destroyed by a tragedy
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Talk about love and romance,
Just wait till I get myself straight.
I'm gonna put Romeo's fame right smack dab outta date.
Finding a job tomorrow morning,
Got a little something I want to do.
Gonna buy something I can ride in
Take my girl dating at the drive-in,
Our love's gonna be written down in history
Just like Romeo and Juliet

This track was recorded by "The Kingpins" a great South London band !! but Ember Records decided for what ever reason to change there name to "The Fadin' Colours" for the release in 1966 !! Geoff Coppin the singer on this recording who used to jump around on stage like Mick Jagger is now unfortunately disabled and in a wheelchair.
