And I know that you would hate him
If I envied the things that he spoke of
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
And I know that you would hate me
He was a 'Johnny Come Lately'
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
And now, the sun won't shine
Where the sun no longer shines
He was a 'Johnny Come Lately'
You could have been here, wishing you were here
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
This was a 'Johnny Come Lately'
To find out how to make a garden grow
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
And I know that you would hate me
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a garden grow
If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind
How I envied the things that he thought of
He was a 'Johnny Come Lately'
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
Where the sun no longer shines
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
And I know that you would hate me
I must have asked too many questions D
To find out how to make a garden grow
And I know that you would hate me
He was a 'Johnny Come Lately'
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
