Marianne Faithfull - Surabaya Johnny слова песни
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 OK.
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.
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.
Surabaya Johnny,
No one`s meaner than you.
Surabaya Johnny,
My God ЎЄ and I still love you so.
Surabaya Johnny,
Why am I feeling so blue ?
You have no heart, Johnny,
And I still love you so.
At the start, every day was Sunday,
Till 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.
You didn`t want love, Johnny,
You wanted cash, Johnny.
But I sewed 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.
Surabaya Johnny.
No one`s meaner than you.
Surabaya Johnny.
My God ЎЄ and I still love you so.
Surabaya Johnny,
Why am I feeling so blue ?
You have no heart, Johnny.
And I still love you so.
I would never have thought of asking
How you`d 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.
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.
Surabaya Johnny.
No one`s meaner than you.
Surabaya Johnny,
My God ЎЄ and I still love you so.
Surabaya Johnny,
Why am I feeling so blue ?
You have no heart, Johnny.
And I still love you so.
Thank you! Thank you very much.
