A friggin' classic song... no other song sounds like this before or since. Roland Gift is truly a gifted vocalist, simply amazing. :) Rumor has it, that they are still looking for Johnny since, but Johnny doesn't want to be found. ;D
I get chills Everytime I here the opening trumpet. Then go back to my memory of jean joques and the brother of grace Jones at the concert in Dallas with UB 40 / Fine Young Cannibals. RIP friends 😔😅
The song is inspired by a 1975 program made by Yorkshire Television called 'Johnny Go Home'. The program was a ground-breaking documentary on young runaways and life on the “meat rack” in London’s West End. As the programme makers filmed, real life events took over the storyline and a simple, (albeit shocking in itself) documentary turned in to a double-length programme that covered the real life, seedy, gritty, dangerous world of Piccadilly ‘rent boys’ when one of them was found dead.

That mix of depressive moodless, like other 80 Bands, dark garage or cellars played, tuned our spirit of the starting 80'th into melodie, could say swinging melancholy.
That was excellent and still is. Cheers from a French. How did I fall on this song a few days ago ? Let's think... okay, I was looking for this film from the 90's where a skinny long blond hair guy is extremely violent and vicious. The story takes place in Great Britain or in Ireland. Thanks in advance for any suggestion you may have.
Only problem with this song is that there are too many people named Johnny who may get the wrong idea. Not all Johnny's are welcome. That goes for you Mr. HACKETT!
Nobody knows The trouble you feel Nobody cares The feelin' is real Johnny, We're sorry, Won't you come on home We worry, Won't you come on What is wrong in my life I must get drunk every night Johnny, We're sorry Use the phone, Call your mom She's missing you badly, Missing her son Who do you know, Where will you stay Big city life Is not what they say Johnny, We're sorry, Won't you come on home We worry, Won't you come on What is wrong in my life That I must get drunk every night Johnny, We're sorry You'd better go, Everything's closed Can't find a room, Money's all blown Nowhere to sleep, Out in the cold Nothing to eat, Nowhere to go Johnny, We're sorry, Won't you come on home We worry, Won't you come on What is wrong in my life That I must get drunk every night Johnny, We're sorry Won't you come on home We worry, Won't you come on home Johnny Won't you come on home
They're trying to make it out like Johnny ran away. That's bullshit. He was kidnapped when he was 12 years old. He was a paper boy. His mom never stopped looking for him. Even after years went by and everybody rightfully assumed the kid was probably dead, but then he came home. Only for a minute to let his mom Noreen know he was alive. Look up Ted Gunderson and Johnny Gosch . Then you'll know why this band gives you the fucking creeps at a cellular level.
This song has nothing to do with Johnny Gosch. The song is inspired by a 1975 program made by Yorkshire Television called 'Johnny Go Home'. The program was a ground-breaking documentary on young runaways and life on the “meat rack” in London’s West End.

Absolute Masterpiece of Energy, rhythm, original vibes and the so particular voice of the so gifted Singer Roland Gift. Wow
2024 and it's always a rain storm of greatness
one of those, once heard, never forgotten
Nice One
I never get tired of this song 😃
All Of Us strangers brought me here.
what an unique great song. the voice is incredible.
When we were young, so much younger than today. Hearing this music is beaming myself back in this 18 year old youngster, it's magic.

I saw it. I was 13 at the time. Horrific to say the least.

The cannibals were truly fine.
I love 💘 this song 🎵
Nobody knows
The trouble you feel
Nobody cares
The feelin' is real
Johnny,
We're sorry,
Won't you come on home
We worry,
Won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
I must get drunk every night
Johnny,
We're sorry
Use the phone,
Call your mom
She's missing you badly,
Missing her son
Who do you know,
Where will you stay
Big city life
Is not what they say
Johnny,
We're sorry,
Won't you come on home
We worry,
Won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny,
We're sorry
You'd better go,
Everything's closed
Can't find a room,
Money's all blown
Nowhere to sleep,
Out in the cold
Nothing to eat,
Nowhere to go
Johnny,
We're sorry,
Won't you come on home
We worry,
Won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny,
We're sorry
Won't you come on home
We worry,
Won't you come on home
Johnny
Won't you come on home
This reminds me of my brother
