Annotationen

Erste Punk-Single einer englischen Band. Die Anfangszeile nimmt den Anfang von Leader Of The Pack der Shangri-Las auf. Ist von da her gesehen das dort inszenierte Teenage-Drama aus der Perspektive des jungen Mannes. Das gibt der Schlusszeile (I'd better go or it'll be too late, yeah) auch einen interessanten Dreh: Er wird tödlich verunfallen. Er hat wirklich nicht mehr viel Zeit ...

Lyrics

Is she really going out with him? Ah! I gotta a feelin' inside of me It's kinda strange like a stormy sea I don't know why, I don't know why I guess these things have gotta be I gotta new rose, I got her good Guess I knew that I always would I can't stop to mess around Like a brand new rose in town See the sun, see the sun it shines Don't get too close or it'll burn your eyes Don't you run away that way You can come back another day I never thought this could happen to me I feel so strange, so why should it be I don't deserve somebody this great I'd better go or it'll be too late, yeah Ah!
