Arrogant Worms - Johnny Came Home Headless Lyrics
Oh, johnny was a tall man but his memory was shortHed forget to at doorways and often hed get hurtI took good care of him for he had no familyActually he did, but he forgot who they beJohnny often liked to go out on the townHed forget where hed be going so hed just wander aroundI when he was back for I would hear the smackOf his head hitting the doorway but tonight it was alackJohnny came home headless, it was a great disgraceBut wherever its a-lying theres a smile upon his faceI should have seen it coming, he finally lost his mindBut if his head dont turn up soon then all his hats are mineJohnny came towards me but suddenly he stoppedAs if trying to think of something but having no luckStill he didnt notice that his head werent theretil he took out a brush and tried to comb his hairI said, johnny wheres your cranium? but he didnt seem to knowHe just shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his noseAnd the sight of him there topless made me start to cryFor I learned wed neer see eye to eyeJohnny came home headless, it was a great disgraceBut wherever its a-lying theres a smile upon his faceI should have seen it coming, he should have stayed in bedFor now I fear hell spend his life just trying to get aheadRefusing to believe that he had split for goodHis lower half and me searched the neighbourhoodIt soon became apparent that his head we wouldnt find itHe could not retrace his steps, he was absent mindedWell years went by til late one night I heard a voice I sworeWas johnny calling out to me, I flung open the doorJohnnys head was home, it took a taxi cabAlas, it was too late, his body had gone badJohnnys head was homeless, his body was crematedAnd the funeral was harder than he had anticipatedI should of seen it coming he said in his eulogyBut never thought Id have to say I aint got no-body(I aint got nobody)Johnny came home headless, it was a great disgraceBut now his heads upon a shelf, a smile upon his faceBut now his heads upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
