Lyrics
JOANNE © Peter James Armstrong, 2010 (Sonic Deli/SOCAN) V1 Joanne’s a girl I knew when I was 17 Last time I saw her she was on the silver screen She was talking about souls, roofs and rivers Anger and gold; how the union delivers V2 Hold me purple; mission is red Sometimes I see her walking straight out ahead She’s a girl that I knew; her heart was true And she was 16... come back V3 There’s a sad voice on the end of the phone Long distance sleeping with a car door tone Karma and cameras scaled her chair A crooked judge smiles in ladies’ underwear V4 Now there’s nothing left but angels in pain A sniper’s last supper and a king dies in vain You could drop your breath; afraid to die Or sink your fingers into a dead man’s eyes (instrumental bridge) Joanne’s a girl I knew when I was 17
