A Girl Called Johnny Lyrics - The Waterboys - Waterboys

I remember Johnny - hey! 

Johnny come lately 

I remember her shoes like a ballerina 

A girl called Johnny who 

changed her name when she 

discovered her choice was to 

change or to be changed 

I remember a girl called Johnny 

black as hell and white as a ghost 

"Don't talk about life or death" 

she said "I've had enough of both" 

A girl called Johnny who was not scared 

they'd have torn her to pieces but 

who would dare?

I remember a girl called Johnny 

the train came to town, boy she got on it 

without looking back, there was barely a word 

If she said goodbye, well I never heard 

but the noise goes on 

the noise, the jazz 

and the truth is in somebody else's hands 

and the house that a girl called johnny built 

is now just so much ashes and sand
