robert palmer: johnny and mary

Johnny's always runnin' around Tryin' to find certainty He 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 to time" 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 is bein' discovered Scared that he'll be caught Without a second thought runnin' around Johnny feels he's wasting his breath Tryin' to talk sense to her Mary says, "He's lackin' a real Sense of proportion" So she combs her hair Knows he tires easily Johnny's always runnin' around Tryin' 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 runnin' around Runnin' around



i don't like the cover of this song by Placebo.
i also don't like their cover of Kate Bush - Running Up that Hill. I don't like their covers. They shouldn't have made any covers. When it comes to covers, there's always the COVER OR NOT DILEMMA SYNDROME, or the CNOT-DS, i think. I'm inventing, but it sounds about right, to me.

List of covers done of Johnny and Mary:

Anthony Monn - German languange version
Marie Léonor - French language version
The Notwist
Status Quo
Placebo
Nicole Jackson - dance version
Züri West - Swiss German
Nouvelle Vague
Wir sind Helden

this is... never... ending. Too much!
