Capulet Grin [Remastered] (4:01)

So you want to know what real love is
So you want to understand
I’d love to show you girl what real love is
But I don’t know that I can

Real love

I ain’t cut out to wear no Romeo clothing
Darlin’ that’s just not in the plan
So won’t you get rid of that Capulet grin now
Don’t tug so heavy on my hand

I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman

So you want to know what real love is
To put some blood back in your heart
I’d love to show you girl what real love is
But i don’t know where to start

My story’s nothin like a Verona love song
No such sweet verses in my head
So won’t you get rid of that Capulet grin now
And look at what you’ve got instead

I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman
I can’t be your superman

Song Notes

At 1:38, Jim Berry grunts loudly, unhappy with his trumpet take. William kept a later take, but kept the grunt because it fits the frustration in the lyrics of the song.

As the track winds down, William asks saxophonist John Camp if he was happy with his take. Jim Berry adds “That was a cool solo, man!”  The original version of Capulet Grin on the Letters Never Sent cassette fades before John Paul’s solo.
