"Pantera fans in love" and they issued a "Jonathan" on an album released in 2000,
"How to meet girls". This is a weird song which mixes references to Modern Lovers songs with paranoid fears to end like Jonathan as if it could be the ultimate trouble. Those lyrics are another piece of existentialism which to me is oozing literally from Jonathan early works.
JONATHAN
Straight out of Boston
To reinvent the modern rock and roll
He put down the cigarette and dropped out of B.U.
Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl
He could look right through the Cezans
If he had a girlfriend
A g-i-r-l-f-r-e-n
In the astral plane
Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl
Please God don't let me end up like Jonathan Richman
Turn the radio off (x4)
He was never called an asshole
As he would walk past the Fenway
Modern girls modern rock and roll
He's straight you're stoned
Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl
Please God don't let me end up like Jonathan Richman
Turn the radio off (x4)
Please God don't let me end up like Jonathan
Please God don't let me end up like Jonathan
Please God don't let me end up being like Jonathan Richman
