Lyrics:

Johnny looked back

You know he never looked back

The whole world was his stage

He never acted his age


A girl we call French Valerie

Gave a gold plate chain to me

Asked her who had given it her

An old flame called Vince Taylor


I nearly done a Vince Taylor


Oh, Johnny looked back

You know he never looked back

Leather and chains, so damned vain

Never seen his like again

Must have left his mark on me

Even liked by Morrissey


Johnny looked back

You know he never looked back


Leather and chains

The whole world was his stage

He never acted his age


A girl we call French Valerie

Gave a gold plate chain to me

Asked her who had given it her

An old flame called Vince Taylor


Leather and chains

Goddamn vain
We'll never see his like again


Johnny looked back

You know he never looked back

The whole world was his stage

He never acted his age


A girl called French Valerie

Gave a gold plate chain to me

Asked her who had given it her

An old flame named Vince Taylor


I nearly done a Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor

I nearly done a Vince Taylor
