Catatonia - Johnny Come Lately lyrics

rate me

I'm sorry you couldn't make it

You could have seen himso weathered and dated

He was a johnny come lately

And I know that you would hate him

If you'd seen his botanical leanings

First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit

He was a johnny come lately

And I know that you would hate me

If I envied the things that he spoke of

How I envied the things that he thought of

He was a johnny come lately

And I know that you would hate me

If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind

To find out how to make a garden grow

Where the sun no longer shines

If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind

To find out how to make a garden grow

But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil

He didn't need usjust tempted and teased us

You could have been herewishing you were here

This was a johnny come lately

And I know that you would hate me

He was a johnny come lately

And I know that you would hate me

If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind

To find out how to make a garden grow

Where the sun no longer shines

He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound

But I must have cast them all on stony ground

And now the sun won't shine

I must have asked too many questions d

And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow

But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.
