Imagine yourself walking into the most dirty, the most creepy bar of all times. You sit down by the bar but you´re too afraid to order a piss-tasting beer from the scarfaced bartender.
All around you there are creepy dudes, lost souls sitting in the shadows with nothing but their dark past and a glass of whiskey. As you´re ready to run into the dark any time now a loud feedback draws your attention to a blue lit stage.
Four ugly fellas just finished their food and beer and now grab their old and rusty instruments. The ugliest of them all starts playing a jazzy blues tune and sings with a deep, black voice. You ask the next guy: “who are they?” and he answers: “Johnny And The Rest, the Blues/rock/psychadelic band. We all come down here and bleed our hearts out with them.”

Where have you been
Johnny and the Rest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow
'Cause baby look at you now
Does your mother realize
The stork delivered quite a prize
The day he left you on the family tree?
Does your dad appreciate
That you're merely super great
The miracle of any century?
If they don't just send them both to me
You must have been a beautiful baby
You must have been a wonderful child
When you were only starting to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild
And when it came to winning blue ribbons
You must have shown the other kids how
I can see the judges' eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow
Oh you must've been a beautiful baby
'Cause baby look at you now
