The Fratellis - Johnny Come Last lyrics

rate me

VERSE

Well ask me that question oh ask me again

When you swore that you knew me you didn't say when

Happiness, Happiness comes in a jar

You're a brave little Cunt but you took it too far

And all of the tantrums and each of the lies

They took ages to think up that's no big surprise

And last but not least you're a good talented boy

But you stole all the answers and killed all the joy

CHORUS

Well I loved you before but I don't any more

You're just burned out and vicious and dumb

And I don't like the way that you mean what you say

And I don't like what you've become

VERSE

Tell me you mean it I'll tell you, you don't

You say that you'll try but I know that you won't

Well there's one God knows where and there's one in Japan

Was a hundred degrees you got shit scared and ran

Well Johnny go easy Johnny go fast

Johnny come lately and Johnny come last

Housewives are heroes and everyone's bent

Well if this was a joke well it's some accident

CHORUS

Well I loved you before but I don't any more

You're just burned out and vicious and dumb

And I don't like the way that you mean what you say

And I don't like what you've become

VERSE

Well give a month and I'll write you line

Or two maybe three though it might take some time

I'll write them for drunks and I'll sing them for cash

Well you know that old saying about gone in a flash?

They wrote that for me and it fits me so well

It's been my fucking pleasure I bid you farewell

Green is the colour but don't it fade fast?

Remember me fondly, Johnny come last

CHORUS

Well I loved you before but I don't any more

You're just burned out and vicious and dumb

And I don't like the way that you mean what you say

And I don't like what you've become
