The Ballad Of Jimmy And Johnny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jimmy & Johnny are two friends of mine Skinheads what they claim Outside
similarities but they don't feel the same
Johnny thinks Jimmy's a mod & Jimmy
thinks Johnny's a punk Jimmy listens to ska & Johnny likes Last Resort
Jimmy
& Johnny in the trenches
Went down tonight drinkin' Guiness smokin' sees once
You're in the middle you feel alright Skinhead tats and a Fred Perry
There's
a war in the cemetary
Start to fight stop drinkin' what the fuck were they
thinkin'
Jimmy and Johnny tell me what you're seein Jimmy had his Two Tone
girl on the back of his scooter that night Johnny had a jacked up Chevy that
could blow you right off the line
gunshot.
