Fatal Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way he moved his ass
Well have I got news for you
Stop the presses Johnny D. is back!
He's rollin', rollin' and rockin' too
Come and see the man the legend
Bring your children, bring your parants too
Down in the gutter no money no hopes
The worst I've ever seen
I told him straight no liquor no dope
And I swear to God Johnny D. is clean
The crowd is wild, you're back at the top
Come on boy let me fix you up
The only chance you'll ever get
It's showtime now Johnny D. is back!

Oh man...wat een herinneringen heb ik aan deze band en vooral aan dit nummer: mijn eerste jaar op de universiteit, en met mijn studievrienden naar het eerste concert in LVC nadat dit uitkwam..had de dag erna in de collegebanken wel fluitende oren (kwam een paar jaar later op het idee oordoppen naar dit soort tenten mee te nemen ).
