I remember Johnny
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A Girl called Johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice
Was to change or to be changed

I remember a Girl called Johnny
Black as hell, white as a ghost
Don't talk about life and death she'd say
I've had enough of both
A Girl called Johnny who
Was not scared
They would have torn her to pieces
But who would dare ?

I remember a Girl called Johnny
The train came to town - boy! She got on it
Without looking back, with barely a word
If she said Goodbye well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise,the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else's hands
And the house that a Girl called Johnny built
Is now just so much
Ashes and sand

Edinburgh March 1981
