Cantatonia - Johnny Come Lately lyrics
rate meI'm sorry you couldn't make it<br />
You could have seen him<br />
So weathered and dated<br />
<br />
He was a Johnny Come Lately<br />
And I know that you would hate it<br />
<br />
If you'd seen his botanical leanings<br />
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit<br />
<br />
He was a Johnny Come Lately<br />
And I know that you would hate me<br />
<br />
If I'd envied the things that he spoke of<br />
How I envied the things that he thought of<br />
<br />
He was a Johnny Come Lately<br />
And I know that you would hate me<br />
<br />
If I told you that I made some time<br />
To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow<br />
Where the sun no longer shines<br />
<br />
If I asked too many questions <br />
And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow<br />
But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil<br />
<br />
He didn't need us<br />
Just tempted and teased us<br />
You could have been here<br />
Wishing you were here<br />
<br />
This was a Johnny Come Lately<br />
And I know that you would hate me<br />
<br />
He was a Johnny Come Lately<br />
And I know that you would hate me<br />
<br />
If I told you that I made some time<br />
To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow<br />
Where the sun no longer shines<br />
<br />
He assured the seeds you sold were sound<br />
But I must have cast them all on stony ground<br />
And now the sun won't shine<br />
<br />
I must have asked too many questions <br />
And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow<br />
But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil
