about

tongue in cheek song about turning into Johnny Cash (not)

lyrics

Johnny Cash

well I'm walking down this road
no-one can carry my load
it's made for my back
and I'm not turning back

I don't know what is real
I don't trust the way I feel
it's let me down before
led me through all sorts of wrong doors

But I'm not turning into Johnny Cash
I'm not turning into anyone
I'm not turning into anyone else for you ................ for you

pretty women make my day
I don't care if they look away
distracted by a prettier face
maybe I'm not to their taste

I'm not going to Jackson
I don't have no ticket to Reno
haven't felt like shooting no-one yet
but each day I do get meaner

I'm not turning into Johnny Cash
I'm not turning into Johnny my dear
I'm not turning into anyone else you hear .................... you hear

My trajectory
is of no concern to thee
every single breath I take
I will fight for till my back breaks

there's no-one better you can hire
to drag you from your ring of fire
who remembers your name and what he says
and shows you how the stars sleep in their beds

I'm not turning into Johnny Cash
I'll keep walking down to the bitter end
I'll keep walking down this road no matter who you send ......... who you send

They feature a string quartet and a growing brass section around drums, guitar, piano and vocals, creating a lush backdrop for Neal’s voice to be at home in. Amphibic have leant their cello player to the Divine Comedy once. ... more
