Johnny's Café

from Water Not Wine by The Stompies

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The long awaited second album from The Stompies can be all yours, in pristine uncompressed CD quality for less than the price of a half decent bottle of Rioja from the Alvechurch Co-Op (and if you're not sure where Alvechurch is, what the Co-Op is or indeed quite what Rioja is then at least one member of the band can bring you up to speed on all three).

    It's taken a while.
    Interrupted by changing geography, a global pandemic, and minor heart surgery, The Stompies have been saying this collection was "on the way" for much longer than expected... but now the wait is over, and it was worth it.

    11 original songs with which to treat your CD-Player, AND unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Water Not Wine is available in inferior formats elsewhere - inferior primarily because it is only here on Bandcamp, or in person, that you can show your love and support for your favourite Worcestershire 7-piece by for this delicious item.

lyrics

I was sitting outside Johnny's café, listening to An Unchained Melody,
I'd hungered for his love a while, and hoped he'd hungered for me.
He said "What are you having? Cos that seat of yours don't come for free."
I said "What I am needing you don't serve, I’ll settle for a cup of tea”.

So he turned and walked away,
pressed a number and that jukebox started to play:

“Baby, Baby, Baby, I get down on my knees for you,
If you would only love me yes love me like you used to do .
We have a love, a love, a love you don’t find every day,
So
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Let it slip away.”

I was sitting outside Johnny’s Café listening to A Case Of You,
Joni's voice was spelling out some wisdom like it was something new:
“I’d still be on feet, be on my feet if I had drunk a case of you”,
Johnny are you listening, are you listening? Cos Joni's turning blue

Then he turned and walked this away,
Pushed a number and that jukebox started to play:

“Baby, Baby, Baby, I get down on my knees for you,
If you would only love me yes love me like you used to do .
We have a love, a love, a love you don’t find every day,
So
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Don’t,
Let it slip away.”

You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.
You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling.

I was sitting outside Johnny's cafe, listening to An Unchained Melody,
I'd hungered for his love a while, and hoped he'd hungered for me.
He said "What are you having? Cos that seat of yours don't come for free."
I said "What I'm needing you don't serve, I'll settle for a cup of tea”.

So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, let it slip away.
So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, let it slip away.
So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, let it slip away.
So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, let it slip away.
