Johnny Hates Jazz

In 1987 kocht ik het singletje Shattered Dreams van Johnny Hates Jazz. Een goed nummer van een band met een voor mij leuke, opvallende naam. Ik zag dat de band nog steeds bestaat en niet onverdienstelijk klinkt.

Voor wie het origineel niet kent:

So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side

And now you’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

You said you’d die for me

Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong

And now you’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

You’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

From this empty heart

I thought it was you
Who said they’d die for love

And now you’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

You’ve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart

Oh, no, no, no
You said you’d die for me

Oh, for
Die for me

So much for your promises

So much for your promises
