Lyrics The Fratellis

The Fratellis

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
