Madness Johnny The Horse Lyrics

Johnny The Horse Lyrics

Johnny the horse was kicked to death

he died for entertainment…



Would you believe he came out well

He had a bright inquiring mind

His family knew that he'd go far

If he applied his time



But he started out

Standing on corners

And talking out loud too loud

You see he couldn't believe in himself the world

Or anything he heard



It seems like a million years ago

That he left his life behind

The moment came for him to go

He said goodbye to his wife and child



He started out walking

Never looked back

It was too much pain

Between Glasgow and London

One hot summer he forgot his name



Can you remember his name?

Doo doodle eh do do



But he started out

Standing on corners

And talking out loud too loud

You see he couldn't believe in himself the world

Or anything he heard



Can you remember his name?

Doo doodle eh do do



Can you remember his name?

Doo doodle eh do do

Ditto Woooh!



Will you remember his name?

Doo doodle eh do do

Ditto Woooh!



He took his battered bones and broken dreams to Regents Park at sunset
