Johnny stumbles Johnny falls
Under slogans
Of the wall
He sees where’s the sense
He says call me Mister Malcontent
A waste of space and alcohol
Drinking rain and eating soil
And slogans off the wall
Cannot express himself at all
Cut off my nose despite my face
And I will not more longer wait
Or should I laugh or should I cry
Or should I part my hair behind?
Or should I laugh or should I cry
As I become all I despise?
I adore Lloyd Cole and this song the most, I cannot find proper footage of this song live with the full solo(s) toward the end from the LP version. Anyone got any ideas?
Here are the lyrics :
Johnny stumbles, Johnny falls
Under slogans off the wall
He sees where's the sense
He says: "Call me Mister Malcontent"
A waste of space and alcohol
Drinking rain and eating soil
And slogans off the wall
Cannot express him at all
Cut off my nose to spite my face
And I will not more longer wait
Or should I laugh or should I cry
Or should I part my hair behind?
Waste of space, alcohol
Drinking rain, eating soil
And slogans off the wall
Cannot express himself at all
Cut off my nose to spite my face
Sell my soul to out my grace
Or should I laugh or should I cry
As I become all I despise?
He says
My beautiful launderette
My beautiful accent
My beautiful launderette
My beautiful accent...
Johnny stumbles, Johnny falls under slogans off the wall
He sees where's the sense, he says "call me Mister Malcontent"
A waste of space and alcohol, drinking rain and eating soil
And slogans off the wall cannot express him at all
Cut off my nose despite my face and I will not more longer wait
Or should I laugh or should I cry? Or should I part my hair behind?
Or should I laugh or should I cry as I become all I despise?
