On The Jazz
Unveiling the Dance of Love: On The Jazz by Uncle Brian
Lyrics
Well, I stepped from the van
The speaker has just exited a van.
Took a knock to my head
The speaker suffered a blow to the head.
I've got the last twenty minutes to make out who I am
The speaker has limited time to figure out their identity.
To impress her, I'm a bad dresser
The speaker acknowledges being a poorly dressed individual.
Could've made an effort and I should know better
Reflecting on the need to make a better effort in dressing.
Do you know it's all about you girl?
Expressing that everything revolves around the girl.
You know, you really rock my world I've gotta say
Complimenting the girl and indicating she has a significant impact.
There's no better way
Asserting that there is no better way to express admiration.
Soon as I think you're riding out today
Suggesting anticipation of the girl leaving soon.
Now it's a good time to show her what I've got
Expressing the timing to showcase talents to the girl.
But I can't dance and I can't sing
Admitting inability to dance or sing well.
I just ruin everything
Acknowledging a tendency to ruin things.
I've got a knack for getting it wrong
Claiming a knack for making mistakes.
John's a sod and I'm too young
Reference to John being problematic and the speaker being young.
But we go together, it just seems right
Despite differences, there is a sense of compatibility.
I think about you every single day and every night
Expressing constant thoughts about the girl.
Oh dear, some of the night deranged
Describing a chaotic night, possibly intoxicated.
Got too drunk, fell off the stage
Falling off the stage as an unconventional way to impress girls.
What a good way to impress the girls
Reflecting on the unpredictability of impressing the girl.
What a good way to impress her, woah!
Reiterating the unconventional and unexpected actions.
What are the chances of going too far?
Pondering the risk of going too far in impressing.
Can't sing, can't dance, can't play guitar
Listing the speaker's lack of musical talents.
Always thought when she sees us play
Hoping that playing music will make everything okay.
Everything will be okay
Expectation that the girl's perception will change when seeing the performance.
Now it's a good time to show her what I've got
Reiteration of the opportune moment to showcase talents.
But I can't dance and I can't sing
Repeating the theme of inability to dance or sing well.
I just ruin everything
Reaffirmation of the speaker's tendency to ruin things.
I've got a knack for getting it wrong
Reiterating the knack for making mistakes.
John's a sod and I'm too young
Repeating John's problematic nature and the speaker's youth.
But we go together, it just seems right
Emphasizing the sense of compatibility despite shortcomings.
I think about you every single day and every night
Continued thoughts about the girl.
Tried to try a thousand times
Expressing persistent efforts, despite repeated failures.
If I was rich I would say
If wealthy, the speaker would request a call regarding the girl.
Please call me if you know mine
Desire not to waste time on unproductive endeavors.
Don't wanna waste my time
Emphasizing the importance of time management.
I can't dance and he can't sing
Reiterating the speaker's and John's shortcomings.
John just ruins everything
Specifically blaming John for ruining everything.
John has a knack for getting it wrong
Repeating John's tendency to make mistakes.
Steve's a sod and I'm too young
Steve is problematic, and the speaker is still young.
But we go together, it just seems right
Despite individual issues, there is a perceived compatibility.
I think about you every single day and every night
Continued thoughts about the girl persist day and night.
