EINER DER EINFLUSSREICHSTEN MUSIKER EUROPAS
LET THE 80IES RULE
ROBERT PALMER wurde leider nur 54 Jahre alt. Er starb 2003 an einem Herzinfarkt. ROBERT PALMER wurde bekannt durch seinen Kleidungsstil - er trug meist einen gutsitzenden Anzug - und seine markante Stimme, doch viel bemerkenswerter war seine Musik. Sie war ein Mix aus Elektrik und verschiedenen Musikstilen, wie Soul, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Reggae und Blues. Sein Song JOHNNY & MARY wurde 1980 veröffentlich. Es gehört zu den Liedern, das immer wieder im Radio gespielt wird. Vermutlich wissen die meisten Zuhörer des regionalen Radiosenders nicht worum es in dem Songtext geht, doch der Song gefällt ihnen schon seit Jahrzehnten.
LYRICS
Johnny's always running around trying to find certaintyhe needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right if it could buy the truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
but she made her bed even when the chance was slim
Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he earns time to
Mary combs her hair says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets she never knows what to think
she says that he still acts like he's being discovered
scared that he'll be caught without a second thought running around
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he earns time to
Mary combs her hair says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets she never knows what to think
she says that he still acts like he's being discovered
scared that he'll be caught without a second thought running around
Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
so she combs her hair knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
he needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls says she should be used to it
Johnny's always running around… running around
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
so she combs her hair knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
he needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls says she should be used to it
Johnny's always running around… running around
