Bagatelle - Johnny Set Em Up lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I'm near the city on the south side at the shore And the folks around here think I'm not just right What, with sleeping in the morning when they're half way through the day Playing music half way through the night And the postman thinks I'm crazy because I don't pick up my mail Cause I know it's gonna be the same old story Final notices and traffic tickets lying in the corner The words are different, but I still know what they mean [Pre-Chorus] So I think I'll sweep the dust off I might even cut the gra** And I'll put away my Springsteen and Tom Waits Put a notice in the paper, and if they give me what I'm asking Fill the car, don't forget to close the gate [Chorus] Johnny set 'em up tonight, cause tonight I'm coming home Call the boys and try to find them, ask them if they'll come around Cause my eyes are getting tired and my ears are getting sore Johnny set 'em up tonight, I'm not going away no more [Verse 2] It was easy when we started, all we had were cheap guitars And the times we had just won't come 'round again There was music in the evening, and if nobody was listening Nobody cared, and so we piled into the cars [Pre-Chorus] Swimming in the sea at night and listening to the radio And working in the daytime if you wanted to But now those days are dead and gone and everybody's scattered round Maybe there'll be someone left to play... [Chorus] Johnny set 'em up tonight, cause tonight I'm coming home Call the boys and try to find them, ask them if they'll come around Cause my eyes are getting tired and my ears are getting sore Johnny set 'em up tonight Johnny set 'em up tonight Johnny set 'em up tonight, I'm not going away no more [Solo]
