| The Waterboys – A Girl Called Johnny Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I was thinking about a friend of mine. She went through a lot of sh*t as a child. And it came back to haunt her as an adult. Some lines that hit me. "Discovered her choice was to Change or to be changed" She made a decision or her life would get out of her control. "I remember a girl called johnny Black as hell and white as a ghost" Depression "Don't talk about life or death She said, "I've had enough of both"" She was fed up with the stuff that was going on in her life or what happened in the past. 'A girl called johnny who was not scared' If pushed hard enough you lose your fear. Sometimes even the fear of death. 'They'd have torn her to pieces but Who would dare?' She became hard as nails in her resolve. "The train came to town, boy she got on it With no looking back, with not a word If she said goodbye, well I never heard" She changed her life. And didn't say goodbye because it was too painfull to. She felt what she had to face she would have to face alone. "But the noise goes on The noise, the jazz And the truth is in somebody elses hands And the house that a girl called johnny built Is now just some ashes and sand" Wild stories erupt about what actually happened. The people who knew her speculate. Where has she gone and how did it came to this. Maybe it was suicide. Another interpretion of the lyrics. Sexchange Boy-->girl. |
