Johnny Come Lately — текст песни (Cantatonia)

I`m sorry you couldn`t make it
You could have seen him
So weathered and dated

He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate it

If you`d seen his botanical leanings
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit

He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me

If I`d envied the things that he spoke of
How I envied the things that he thought of

He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me

If I told you that I made some time
To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines

If I asked too many questions
And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil

He didn`t need us
Just tempted and teased us
You could have been here
Wishing you were here

This was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me

He was a Johnny Come Lately
And I know that you would hate me

If I told you that I made some time
To stay behind the final line and make the garden grow
Where the sun no longer shines

He assured the seeds you sold were sound
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
And now the sun won`t shine

I must have asked too many questions
And stayed behind the final line and made the garden grow
But he never ever gave away the secret of his godforsaken soil
