lyrics

Jonny in the 60's was in a band,
Black shoes, black ring on his playing hand,
They said he was born for the big show,
Left home, hit the road and the radio.

Sing up Jonny.

Jonny in the sevens got into a fight,
Smashed up his both hands fighting for his life,
Spitting teeth, dripping blood on his black shoes,
Jonny didn't back down but he did lose.

Sing up Jonny.

Sing up Jonny,
We only fall so we can pick ourselves back up.
Broken hands heal and your face wasn't a picture before.

Jonny in the next months gave up,
Couldn't grip a damn thing that he picked up,
Couldn't play like he used to play up,
Couldn't sing like he used to sing up.
Had a wife and a child that he didn't see,
Had a room full of wood that he didn't need,
Had a band full of friends who he quite liked,
But he didn't leave home in daylight.

Sing up Jonny.

Jonny in the next years stayed home,
Singing songs in his head that he used to know,
One night when he turned on the radio,
Heard a kid sing a song that Jonny wrote.

Sing up kid,
You're doing just fine,
I used to remember,
What it could be like,
Believe it or not son,
I used to break hearts.

Do your old man proud.

Androo Gwynn Cardiff, UK

I used to play in Along Came Man.

I used to play in The New 1920.

Now it's just me, with a guitar, having a shout and probably a bit of a swear.
