Catatonia - Johnny Come Lately Lyrics
Im sorry you couldnt make itYou could have seen him, so weathered and datedHe was a johnny come latelyAnd I know that you would hate himIf youd seen his botanical leaningsFirst prize exhibit and all down to good spiritHe was a johnny come latelyAnd I know that you would hate meIf I envied the things that he spoke ofHow I envied the things that he thought ofHe was a johnny come latelyAnd I know that you would hate meIf I told you that I made some time and stayed behindTo find out how to make a garden growWhere the sun no longer shinesIf I asked too many questions and I stayed behindTo find out how to make a garden growBut he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soilHe didnt need us, just tempted and teased usYou could have been here, wishing you were hereThis was a johnny come latelyAnd I know that you would hate meHe was a johnny come latelyAnd I know that you would hate meIf I told you that I made some time and stayed behindTo find out how to make a garden growWhere the sun no longer shinesHe assured me that the seeds you sold were soundBut I must have cast them all on stony groundAnd now the sun wont shineI must have asked too many questions dAnd stayed behind to find out how to make a garden growBut he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.
