Johnny Smiled Slowly-Nikki Sudden

Johnny Smiled Slowly - Nikki Sudden Now they're crawling through the doors Breaking up the chrome And smashing the chairs Johnny hid by the amps His head in his hands Looking for powders and for his way home And me I'm still looking for you Looking at that girl with the torn up hair And the boys were all very lonely So they threw their platforms Right down the stairs And it was back Way back in the Sixties When all the rebels sold all their lies Sold all their trash to castaway pilots Who only had cash for some more drugs And I I just sat there waiting For the chalet to fall right down Into the ocean Like some kind of ritual For all the boys I never ever knew And in the dark The other side of the city We're walking around looking for the scene And Johnny smiled Sensing the red lights Pulled his act over and began to freeze And me I'm so lonely I don't really feel it Walking around could kill me off And all the boys cried When they missed the party They all got lost in the foyer of the Ritz Johnny smiles slowly He knows all the answers Sits with his arm out He's slung all the trees Right in the graveyard By the side of the morgue I bought a Lagonda nineteen fifty two We're looking for something The next best show Practice guitar and watch all the cars And those boys were all lost and quite lonely They're still circling round Round the wrong street And it was back Way back in the Sixties When all the rebels sold all their lies Sold all their trash to castaway pilots Who only had cash for some more drugs The Seventies changed The only ones I've known yet I was too young to remember the rest I've taken the numbers I've walked past the cafe I'll win you in the end 'Cause that's just too much
