Johnny Sunshine Lyrics

Cover art for Johnny Sunshine lyrics by Liz Phair

A long-term couple ends up separating. Her perfect man, her ray of light, Johnny Sunshine, leaves her and takes everything. It's serious, but not serious. It uses some humor (he kills the cat?!?) but also some real things (he takes the car).

In the end, we are left questioning whether the couple loved each other, or they just grew dependent of each other. She doesn't care about him not being around, does she? Nope. Just all of her stuff. She says she's alone, but only after all of her stuff is taken! Hahaha!

It's like, "Why leave? Our stuff is already set up here!?!?"
