Q&A
A Girl Called Johnny [Live] Lyrics
I remember Johnny, hey
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to
Change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
Black as hell and white as a ghost
"Don't talk about life or death"
She said I've had enough of both
A girl called Johnny who was not scared
They'd have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
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
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just ashes and sand
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called Johnny who
Discovered her choice was to
Change or to be changed
I remember a girl called Johnny
"Don't talk about life or death"
She said I've had enough of both
A girl called Johnny who was not scared
Who would dare?
I remember a girl called Johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just ashes and sand
