Holy Johnny Lyrics
My mate Johnny's a looker
His habit is a one night stand
He would walk the streets in the usual way
Oh, what a pretty man
My mate Johnny was a lover
He fell for the girl next door
She said Johnny I can't be with you
You're pretty but you're also a bore
Finding love was not so easy
'Cause people thought that he was too peculiar
So what was left for poor old Johnny
At least he found out that Jesus loves ya
Holy
Well he once was a whore
Now he's a priest at 24
'Cause he's holy
And he wanted the most
Now he's left with Holy Ghost
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
My mate Johnny's a preacher
He's holy as they come
He says follow the Lord and the Lord'll be good
And then he started callin' me son
For God was good to poor old Johnny
He hid his life behind the walls of religion
What was left was not so funny
'Cause I lost my friend to his new-found position
Now he's holy
When he once was a whore
Now he's a priest at 24
'Cause he's holy
What he wanted the most
Now he's left with Holy Ghost
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I prayed for Johnny but now Johnny prays for me
I really like this song. I hope he'll play when I see him in Chicago.
i think it;s obvious what this song is about.
Hi Kourtney.
when i first heard this song I thought it was a lovely story. i was singing along the second i saw him perform it. it reminds me of this Charmed episode I saw. It was about a demon who was half human and needed to become a preist to get away from the demon side of himself forever.
"When he once was a whore/ Now he's a priest at 24"
These lines make me laugh so much! I absolutely love this song and I really hope MIKA puts it on his next album.
