Is it:  “through the bars of Orion”  or "through the bars of a rhyme" ???

Your first post? Welcome to the worlds best MK forum! What does Google or the liner notes say about the lyrics?

It's starting to be annoying that many ridiculous posts are appearing with no stops that are always the first post of someone... is there any way to see from wgere this is coming from, like following the ips or something? This looks like a kind of spam...

Since  the Romeo and Julia quote has been discussed in other forums I was interested in possible insights from this group.
Not expecting comments like "is this a joke?" , "annoying", "ridiculous" and whatnot.

 "through the bars of Orion/a rhyme
Julie I’d do the stars with you, any time” could have been a double metaphor
The famous belt of stars in the constellation Orion resemble bars, and this ties with “doing the stars”. It could also be kissing during the bars (measures) of a musical rhyme in a song, perhaps this very song.

Just some speculative views which I thought this forum could stomach.   Apparently not.

Then express yourself better the next time for heaven's sake. You're George Sand after all! Really no one would have been able to understand what you were trying to say. Also a little "Hello, I'm new here" helps.

I may have been a bit abrasive but I've never heard such a thing. It's clearly bars of a rhyme

Lyrics are published since the record came out in 1980... as far as I recall.

I remember back in the days there were many lyric sites that had "through the bars of Orion" as the line in R&J. And doing a Google search now gives many result on the subject.  ;D

Obviously all that people didn't have the record and never had the chance to check the lyrics...

How about the «streetsuss/streetsus/a street serenade/the street a serenade» dicussion? I wasn’t aware of that before I googled the lyrics now
