The last of the Wavy Gravy demos. Unanimously voted "song with the ugliest title" by all band members. Apologies to Wm. Shakespeare for butchering some pretty keen lyrics in the middle bit. Based on a guitar the song was written over the course of an hour or two in some little rehearsal hall near the Beverly Tavern on Queen Street in Toronto. Weighing in at a hefty eight minutes, this puppy will never see the light of day on commercial radio. Oh well, I like it anyway.

The lyric of the song is structured around my best recollection of one of Romeo's big speeches. I haven't actually checked Stratford Billy's version to see how/if the two correspond in fact, rather than simply in my imagination. The lyric was written while standing in a doorway on Bay Street having a smoke at about three o'clock in the morning. Rui had previously written a guitar riff that, by sheer coincidence, seemed to fit.
