Where Are They Now Lyrics
i believed in julie when she said how easy it would be and i believed in tony and his written words of anarchy and i believed in joe when he said we had to fight and i believed in jimmy when he told us to unite (chorus) where are they now where are they now where are they six years on and they've all gone now it's all turned sour where are they now hollywood nights in soho, writing on the wall of the roxy loo rotten on the telly, showing what a few choice words can do was it ever worth it, causing all the fuss i believed in them don't you believe in us no more kids are innocent, we will get fooled again only faces ever change, the song remains the same
Good Question, great song.
fucking true. my favourite sparrer song. means a lot to me. how soppy!
OK... Who is Julie? And Tony? Joe, is Joe Strummer. Jimmy, is clearly Jimmy Pursey. The second part talks about Roxy and stuff... And Rotten is Johnny Rotten. But... who are those two up there?
Julie- Julie Burchill- an unpredictable british journalist
Tony-Tony Parsons-another birtish journalist who wrote in large part about punk and the punk lifestyle.
Joe -Joe strummer- the clash
Jimmy- Jimmy Pursey - sham 69
Rotton- Johnny Rotten- "on the telly showing what a few choice words can do" - - referring to when rotton swore on live televison.
