His first greatest hits praises Leonor for being the first singer who got one of his songs right.

Feel like early '80s Robert Palmer probably had a lot of dates.

and he was never young, just "less old."

one year passes...

Johnny says he’s willing to learn
Then he decides
He’s a fool

Clueswas the soundtrack for a road trip across half of the U.S. I took with in the late 80s one of my best friends. This song is the highlight for me. Absolute classic.

Just heard this song in the wild the other week, I think on a restaurant patio, I was very pleased.

Maybe in fact the best song

is this that rarest thing: agreement across all ilxor?

“Ça plane pour moi” maybe?

I heard it as “then,” looked it up and saw “when.” Listened again a few more times, still leaned towards “then.” Probably it really is “when,” that makes more mundane logical sense. But to me “then” would make for a better lyric, packs more emotional punch, is almost a Dylanism.

Johnny says he'll live anywhere
Then he earns time to

Yay for Johnny and his exciting new life, wonder where he's gonna move to!

buffalo tomozzarella (ledge), Friday, 27 May 2022 10:46 (two years ago) link

Okay that one is obviously “when.”

On Spotify the lyrics thinking has moronic quotes around the second part of both those phrases, as if Johnny is referring to himself in the third person.

I’m not going to go to the matte on this, you and Spotify are no doubt right. And thanks for the tv spot.
