I like get up
With my partner in crime
We love to dress up
And have ourselves a good time
We have an understanding
She can never be mine
We get on so well
There's no pressure on us
It's a relationship
Based entirely on trust
No complications
You will never see me focus
Come around eleven
And it's time to go home
I'm going her way
But I can't leave her alone
But she's looking at me
As If I'm something she owns

Oh
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
Jane's getting serious
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
And I could get serious too

She introduces me
To all her freinds around town
She gets approval
I say I can't stick around
The writing's on the wall
So come around eleven
And we're on our way home
I can't leave her here
But I should leave well alone
Cause she is looking at me
Like I am something she owns

Oh
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
Jane's getting serious
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
And I could get serious too
So I'm pretending I'm not

Caught in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I cannot believe
That I would ever admit
That I could take Jane seiously
Come around eleven
We're still on our way home
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
But all along
I should have really known

That
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
Jane's getting serious
Jane's getting serious (Jane)
And I could get serious too
Jane's getting serious...
(Fade)

Baseline sounds like a slowed down version of “she blinded me with science”.

Yeah, not the same Astley.

Screw the haters  - this song is funny.  You guys probably don't like Stan Ridgway either.

For the love of God, why can't I spend a buck ninety-nine or whatever to buy this?

Sounds to me like Elmer Fudd impersonating David Bowie.

Nice production - sounds a lot like what Bowie did on Let's Dance - lots of space.

Clapton playing guitar
Interesting note there... well, perhaps not seeing that he produced some of Clapton's records. Also, Astley was Pete Townshend's brother-in-law at the time of this recording.

Not that it matters, but -- does anybody have any idea whether Jon Astley is related to Rick Astley, who was sort of the male Donna Summer for a while?
