Motorhead - Lost Johnny Lyrics

Lost Johnny was a Rock ‘n’ Roll suicide.

Basically the only tune you'l ever need.

Thanks Larry

just perfect. Maybe more. love it B4 it starts, and after the end.

Johnny Thunders was Lost Johnny

GO JOHNNY ..GO .....................

Original is better by Hawkwind. ..lemmy still singing on that track.Much more trippy.Check it out. ...you know I'm right.

You're wrong

HERE INSIDE THE WAITING ROOM
THE RADIO STILL SCREAMS

AND WE'RE ALL SHOOTING TUINALS
TO MURDER OUR YOUNG DREAMS

Jesus Saves beautiful words

Brilliant writing just a shame no one seems to be able to actually listen to the words he's singing.

Be sure to check out the original Hawkwind version, also sung by Lemmy, on their awesome 1974 album Hall of the Mountain Grill.

One of my MH favourites. Been a fan for years. MH changed my life, my way of thinking and my musical taste. Barebone rock n roll. Nothing but pure rock. The outro lick of Lost Johnny is one of the nicest I have ever heard in my life tbh... keep on rockin in Valhalla Lemmy!!!!

Fuckin MOTORHEAD man, miss you forever LEM, PHILTHY ANIMAL, FAST EDDIE. Out of much ruckus, you brought peace man. Those Jack and cokes are the the best right now. Eternal hails to all of you

awevo pinche rolón y que en paz descanse nuestro ídolo pionero Lemmy :c

A reminder to all: Never harness but channel

Lyric-wise, I always thought this song sounded like it could have been written by Bob Dylan.

someone fucked up the lyrics.

F..king awesome track..

it's pale and it flickers...
trying to make her scream by sticking thumbtacks in her flesh...
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth...
and you ought to really get some...
can you get the morphine...
now, Larry looks so evil (other versions, including the original Hawkwind, say "Simon", not Larry)...
every time he makes a play, that vital number dies
and Sally buys her underwear from a store where no one goes
she makes it big in photographs...
and we're all shooting tuinal to murder our young dreams

geez, you need better speakers/headphones

man, dude, you got so many of those lyrics wrong... want the right ones?

No. How can wrong be wrong? Dufus.

RIP Fast Eddie

William Smith all three of the in 2years not right

Thank you MOTORHEAD!!!

547!!!!!!!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTSSSSS . TX Lemmy, for all.

I think this song is the reason why the lost mc from gta4 and johnny are called like that

r.i.p animal

r.i.p animal

dirty sound !!!!! i love that. one of my favorites

best motorhead song ever

3:47 to the final best part

Can somebody write, where was this part use? I can recall this part but dont know where exactly. TV show? Music video? Help me guys.

some of those lyrics are wrong xD

Maybe their right but your too boring

On Parole -My best album of Motors

Maaan.. This solo is sooo awesome :)

Damn straight!

Original is way better.

this is actually more original :)

barely anyone knows who hawkwind is because they sucked
however everyone knows who motorhead is because their biggest hit wasn't that crappy song silver machine

Trolling can be done well, but this is not it.

hey, Lemme sang Silver Machine, like it or not...

Hawkwind is good, shithead

The best xxxx

cheers big chief.

God' s gone. ( don't need) religion... need Motorhead. Have good fun with Phil ahead.

Yeh,the world seems smaller with Lemmy gone, bummer.

I've been looking for Lost Johnny- On Parole version. I think they were both from the same recording session but On Parole version re mixed.

Not sure who wrote it, no longer have the record ( still have Overkill LP), brilliant lyrics.

+Dr Wobble The version from 'On Parole' features Larry Wallis and Lucas Fox, this version has Eddie Clark and Phil Taylor... Song written by Mick Farren.

tim rundall no... Lemmy wrote it.

Really? In that case the lyrics are very different to his usual auto biographical and sexually orientated lyrics. I'd go so far as to say the best lyrics he wrote.

lemmy is out there!! baying at the moon

cheers motorhead......

Bought my first album many years ago. Saw them in Tromsø, northern Norway in 1985 for the first time live. Fantastic. RIP Lemmy. Right now I drink Jack Daniels and Coke and listening to "Lost Jonny"

+Per K Lind Wild Turkey straight up here, and loving this as I always have. Jack and coke sounds good though, actually sounds great. Really great. I think Lemmy would appreciate a toast from both of us, he will get it from me, how 'bout you?

+Ibleedwhiskey Planet1 a toast for Lemmy and the rest of the crew.

Farewell Lemmy. You were one of the all time greats.

got one igggggggggggggy !!!!!!!

anyone left from the old guard whos still alive and not a poser?????????? im thinking hard ........... nope

Can you find the Valium, can you find them soon?
Lost Johhny's out there, baying at the moon...

Now he can rest up in Valhalla!

+rightwingthug Yep! Not sure about resting, though. Keep rockin'

+yommi1970 he ws dope dawg mah son cant fuck no one with this hell yeah alleluyah wtf mirackle as shit

R.I.P Lemmy :(

R.I.P Lemmy :)

Rololoko Sctrez what do you mean by “:)”?

It's NOT were Shooting Children - it is SHOOTING TUINAL ( a Barbiturate drug)

Hawkwind fucked Lemmy over but ultimately did him a favour... He was a Natural group leader.....

This is actually a really harsh and unforgiving song.

yep. three drug references in one song...

@circe801 Please, the whole song is about addiction

Who's the one guy who thumbed this video down

@Kane Chitty A homosexual.

Dissident no he Troll

THESE are the REAL lyrics.

You only get a single chance
The rules are very plain
The truth is well concealed inside
The details of the game

You can hear it coming
You can see it from afar
It's pale and it flickers
Like a faded movie star

And up there in the castle
They're trying to make us scream
By sticking thumb tacks in her flesh
And canceling the dream

Can you find the Valium?
Can you bring it soon?
Lost Johnny's out there
Baying at the Moon

The time has come for you to choose
You'd better get it right
Berlin girls with sharp white teeth
Are waiting in the night

But you oughta really get some
It surely can't be hard
There's always trouble waiting
When you leave your own back yard

And underneath the city
The alligators sing
About how the puppets cannot dance
Since someone cut the strings

Run and get the morphine
For God's sake make it brief
Lost Johnny's out there
Looking for relief

Now Simon looks so evil
And you know he really tries
But every time he makes a play
That vital number dies

And Sally buys her underwear
From a store where no one goes
She makes it big in photographs
On the strength of what she shows

Then here inside the waiting room
The radio still screams
And we're all taking Tuenol
To murder our young dreams

Run and fetch your credit card
Try to make it quick
Lost Johnny's out there
Trying to turn a trick

how can you get the morphine to him.....no cellphones....dead drop....it's when you didn't want to get busted by a raid ......which i have seen in Laredo at the Sals pizza ....was our CBGB.....more or less...the joint got raided by the border
patrol one night .....nobody move !! citizen or not,.....I've been the b
aby...Laredo tx..Patrick

C'est magnifique et superbe!

I always thought it was
"My landlord looks so evil."
And does anyone know what the hell he says at the very end?

@LM Jones Yes.

"It's pale & decrepit"   NOT Its pale & it glimmers.

No mate, not an asshole at all, lyrics are often really hard to decipher.

@Jam Jar Great number though 'eh? 

Yeah brilliant. I like both this and hawkwind's version.

I gotta say,being a fan of punk,Oi! & hardcore ordinarily,I really dig this older Motorhead material as it's got a much rawer,crustier punk rock appeal....This self titled debut record really exemplifies that quality beautifully.

if he calls himself 'rightwingthug', he's most likely an asshole. i didn't know conservatives listened to Motörhead...

Motorhead at their best.

Fuckin aye

@polishpaulie
 
"It's pale & decrepit" is right.

He was wrong on a few others. 

@polishpaulie No it's not, it is it's pale and IT FLICKERS like a faded movie start, doesn't sound anything like decrepit.

@Jam Jar Actually, after listening to it again, you are correct.

many out of place words my friend. (don't want to say wrong) x

lost johnnies out there, looking for his teeth :)

some of these lyrics are wrong, REALLY wrong.
