Jonny Mundane
This is actually a song written by my late son. RIP Sam x
Jonny Mundane
And now let me tell you a story about Jonny Mundane, he broke his arm but felt no pain.
He was smacked up, was without a care
People gathered round him and began to stare, playing a soulful six string with his turned up fedora on the floor
The crowd embraced Johnny and cheered for more. Some saw that his arm was broken, others smiled and tossed him a token
The best busker that's ever been, just a pan handle of no right in my eyes to be seen.
Shone so bright the law looked the other way.
Can't everyone get along just for today?
The blues cried out from them old dirty strings, while Johnny was flying high chasing a lizard with wings
Who to appease and who to offend, a relationship with Miss China White,
He can't see a dignified end
His appearance resembled a young Buddy Holly, bad life choices and success to folly
An implicit bongo beat roared in the distance
The two became one just for an instance.................................
Justifiably couldn't comprehed the concept of good luck. Rearly had two pennies to rub together but could never give a single fuck.
Dried blood stained his rusty belt buckle, he looked down on men and let out a chuckle
Some named him the lonely worker, when he possessed the ways of a homely lurker
Unemployed and eyeing the dole, he often daydreamed of becoming an eidolon
His cold cold grey skin matched the sky, a young boy saw him and began to cry
Quiet child this man's making magic! Seems to others that he's just lethargic
His fatal illnesses began to show, anticipating up above stalked a vulture like crow
Those worn down lungs muttered his final breath.
A turbulent life produced a calm death
He slipped into unconsciousness and strolled toward a light, letting go without much of a fight
It was to be his final and greatest symphony, as that was the end of ol' Jonny

Hi Tony, here's couple of definitions for Jonny Mundane
Busker - Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given.
Eidolon - an idealized person or thing.
