Surabaya Johnny Lyrics by Marianne Faithfull

Intro Verse 1 I Had Just Turned Sixteen That Season, When You Came Up From Burma To Stay And You Told Me I Ought To Travel With You, You Were Sure It Would Be Okay When I Asked How You Earned Your Living? I Can Still Hear What You Said To Me You Had Some Kind Of Job On The Railway And Had Nothing To Do With The Sea Verse 2 You Said A Lot, Johnny, All One Big Lie, Johnny You Cheated Me Blind, Johnny, From The Minute We Met I Hate You So, Johnny, When You Stand There Grinning, Johnny Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat Chorus Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue? You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So Verse 3 At The Start, Every Day Was Sunday, 'Til We Went On Our Way One Fine Night And Before Two More Weeks Were Over, You Thought Nothing I Did Was Right So We Trekked Up And Down Through The Punjab, From The Source Of The River To The Sea When I Look At My Face In The Mirror, There's An Old Woman Staring Back At Me Verse 4 You Didn't Want Love, Johnny, You Wanted Cash, Johnny But I Saw Your Lips, Johnny And That Was That You Wanted It All, Johnny, I Gave You More, Johnny Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat Chorus Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue? You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So Verse 5 I Would Never Have Thought Of Asking, How You Got That Peculiar Name? But From One End Of The Coast To The Other, You Were Known Everywhere We Came And One Day In A Two-Bit Flophouse, I'll Wake Up To The Roar Of The Sea And You'll Leave Without One Word Of Warning, On A Ship Waiting Down At The Quay Verse 6 You Have No Heart, Johnny, You're Just A Louse, Johnny! How Could You Go, Johnny And Leave Me Flat? You're Still My Love, Johnny, Like The Day We Met, Johnny Take That Damn Pipe Out Of Your Mouth, You Rat Chorus Surabaya Johnny, No One's Meaner Than You Surabaya Johnny, My God, And I Still Love You So Surabaya Johnny, Why'm I Feeling So Blue? You Have No Heart, Johnny And I Still Love You So
