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
