Four tracks were eventually published. Others remain in the ''Infamous Tea Chest''
(Read The Legendary Joe Meek by John Repsch)
With only minor chart success the boys decided to break up the band and persue their own individual dreams, but the cult status still enjoyed by the Blue Rondos is demonstrated with the airtime they are still given on 'Sixties' radio slots with Baby I Go For You, a regular track on Punk Rock radio stations.
The band did play together again (using guest musicians when original members were not available) during the 1990s at tribute shows to the late Joe Meek.
Baby I Go For You
The Blue Rondos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dark side of town
Keep to myself most of the time
No one to put me down
But I've had it
Baby, I go for you
Got no time for the square guys
I like to feel the wind in my hair
Speed, I love it too
But I've had it
Baby, I go for you
Bring me down to the ground
Build me up to the sky
Poke me until I giggle
I'm gonna love her 'til the day I die
I go on late night walk
Dark side of town
Keep to myself most of the time
No one to put me down
But I've had it
Baby, I go for you
Woah now
Bring me down to the ground
Build me up to the sky
Poke me until I giggle
I'm gonna love her 'til the day I die
I go on late night walk
Dark side of town
Keep to myself most of the time
No one to put me down
But I've had it
Baby, I go for you
Baby, I go for you
Baby, I go for you
Baby, I go for you
The Blue Rondos' song "Baby I Go for You" is all about the singer's love for a woman who has captured his heart. The lyrics describe the singer's personality and preferences, such as how he goes on late-night walks on the dark side of town and enjoys speed and the feeling of wind in his hair. However, all of his interests and habits seem insignificant compared to his love for this woman, and he confesses that he goes for her even though he keeps to himself most of the time and no one else can put him down.
The lyrics convey a sense of surrender to the power of love, as the singer admits he's had it with other things but can't resist his feelings for this woman. He wants her to bring him down and build him up, and he's willing to love her until the day he dies. The repetition of the line "baby, I go for you" reinforces the singer's devotion and the simplicity of his love.
Overall, "Baby I Go for You" is a catchy and romantic tune that highlights the transformative power of love and the ways it can inspire us to change our priorities and habits.
