johnny come last

well

ask me that question

oh

ask me again

well

you swore that you knew me

you didn't say when

happiness

happiness comes in a jar

you're a brave little cunt

but you took it too far

and all of the tantrums and each of the lies

they took ages to think up

that's no big surprise

and last but not least

you're a talented boy

but you stole all the answers

you killed all the joy

well

i loved you before

but i don't anymore

you're just burned out and vicious and dumb

and i don't like the way that you mean what you say

and i don't like what you've become

well

tell you mean it

and i'll tell you you don't

well

you say that you'll try

but i know that you won't

and there's one god-knows where

and there's one in japan

was a hundred degrees

you got shit-scared and ran

well

johnny go easy

johnny go fast

johnny come lately

and johnny come last

housewives are heroes

and everyone's bent

well

if this was a joke

well it's some accident

well

i loved you before but i don't anymore

you're just burned out and vicious and dumb

and i don't like the way that you mean what you say

and i don't like what you've become

well

give me a month

and i'll write you a line

or two

maybe three

though it might take some time

i'll write them for drunks

and i'll sing them for cash

well

you know that old saying about gone in a flash?

they wrote that for me

and it fits me so well

it's been my fucking pleasure

and i bid you farewell

green is the colour but don't it fade fast?

remember me fondly

johnny come last

well

i loved you before

but i don't anymore

you're just burned out and vicious and dumb

and i don't like the way that you mean what you say

and i don't like what you've become
