about

A totally live song written by the largest collection of musicians assembled at Epicentre. Just who Book Johnson is is still a mystery to us.

lyrics

Oh Book Johnson
I see you running
Running over
Fields and glens
The desert sands
Book Johnson

Always running
The bus left
Half an hour ago
Book Johnson

Oh Book Johnson
You didn’t pay the bill
And now they’re getting
Really stroppy with you
Book Johnson

Can’t find a cash machine
Hence
Their general stroppiness

Oh Book Johnson
Trying to sell
All your clothes on the table top sale
Next to Argos
Book Johnson

Had to do a refund
On an old pair
Of jeans
Book Johnson
They weren’t even yours

Oh Book Johnson
Went into the bar
Went straight
Back out of the bar

Book Johnson
They didn’t serve Perrier

Oh Book Johnson
At the small airfield
Waiting for the next big plane
Book Johnson
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
It never came
Book Johnson

Book Johnson
I’m sorry about what happened
To your aunt
Book Johnson

She was putting up wallpaper
But she can’t
Book Johnson
Oh Book Johnson
