Shovels & Rope - Johnny Come Outside Lyrics
Born in the summer
Handsome and tall
Golden child seemed to have it all
But he was never happy
Teacher said it's just a phase and he'll grow out of it
Older now
Saw the sign
Looking for that magnetic, outgoing, shine a light kind
One day
The world just slipped
Hush little baby on a sinking ship
Oh, Johnny won't you come outside
Oh, Johnny won't you come outside please
Oh, Johnny won't you come outside
Don't you know it's not polite to hide
Oh, Johnny won't you come outside for me
Seroxat, amphetamine
Doctor says to stimulate the dopamine
Electro-shock therapy
We'll have a well-adjusted member of society, you'll see
But he dreams the meadows and the quiet places
On a motorcycle riding thru the Willamina timber
A warm breeze, a soft trip
Mother's
little helper and a morphine drip

What is this song about?
My guess is a troubled child ..
I’ve been quite the Shovels and Rope fan for a long time now (who else makes me move like this? yeah, no one), and I recently had the supreme pleasure of going to one of their shows in Eugene, Ore. It was one of those rare occasions when the music had a much bigger draw than the wall and this body could not help but pull away and move. Anyhow, I don’t know if this will ever reach them — but seeing as I cannot sign up for traditional social media anymore — I wanted to say this: Initially, I thought this album was a dip, just not quite to the level I had become accustomed to with Shovels and Rope. And then I listened again a year later. It’s been on daily ever since. I thank you. and I f’ing get it.
Right on
cute song about me, never happy never sad...wow
