These lyrics allure me because of the reference to danger in love on such an early stage in rock history, when tipically subject-matter of songs was naively optimistic. The notion of danger prompts images of a forbidden love, much like a Romeo-Juliet sort of story. It even manages to makes you think that the singer (Lennon, or whoever would sing it) is foretelling all the conflicts that arise in a long-term adult relationship.
I would love to listen to this song covered by Yo La Tengo with its lyrics sieved by this trio sensibility.
