Johnny Come Home ( song lyrics ) … Fine Young Cannibals
Nobody knows the trouble you feel.
Nobody cares. The feeling is real.Johnny, we’re sorry. Won’t you come on home.
We’re worried. Won’t you come on.
What is wrong in my life that I must get drunk every night?Johnny, we’re sorry.
Use the phone. Call your mom.
She’s missing you badly, missing her son.
Who do you know? Where will you stay?
Big city life is not what they say.Johnny, we’re sorry. Won’t you come on home.
We’re worried. Won’t you come on.
What is wrong in my life that I must get drunk every night?Johnny, we’re sorry.
You’d better go. Everything’s closed.
Can’t find a room. Money’s all blown.
Nowhere to sleep. Out in the cold.
Nothing to eat. Nowhere to go.Johnny, we’re sorry. Won’t you come on home.
We’re worried. Won’t you come on.
What is wrong in my life that I must get drunk every night?Johnny, we’re sorry. Won’t you come on home.
We’re worried. Won’t you come on home.
Johnny, won’t you come on home.
We’re worried. Won’t you come on home.

audio review : The Raw And The Cooked ( album ) … Fine Young Cannibals
If we’re talking meals, this second serving (album) is almost as good as the first, though once again there are three songs in a row that never should’ve made the cut. The delicacies this time around include the opening banger She Drives Me Crazy and As Hard As It Is. The latter is a heartbreak ballad that conjures 1950s soul. It’s also one of a few songs peaked out by Roland Gift’s ingeniously gay ad-libs.
my rating : 4 of 5

audio review : Fine Young Cannibals ( album ) … Fine Young Cannibals
Roland Gift may have one of the gayest singing voices in pop music, but that’s part of what makes his band standout. The album loses some of its flavor during the second half, but most of these songs are Fine indeed. Favorites include Don’t Ask Me To Choose, Blue if you’re fortunate enough to comes across the original (unrevamped) version and the Broadway-worthy Like A Stranger.
