about

Gimme more more more! I wrote the lyrics to this song about fifteen minutes after taking a walk around a shopping mall. It almost wrote itself. Later, my band at the time (Chris Alford, Travis Lamb, Kenny Graeber) and I came up with a funky jam that seemed to fit. Note: anything on this track that sounds like a synthesizer is actually a harmonica played through digital effects.

lyrics

Well hello, my name is Johnny Q
And I've got a little song for you
And every word I say is true
Please don't interrupt me 'til I'm through

I love my fancy powerboat
I love my sheepskin leather coat
I love my wife 'cause she's six feet tall
Well, I love my things, I love 'em all

I need an antihistamine
So I can feel good (or feel "well", I mean)
I need to build a concrete wall
To hide my stuff, 'cause I need it all

I need a 10-foot satellite dish
So I can teach myself to fish
By watching Channel 209
"All fishing -- ALL the time!"

Gimme gimme,
Gimme gimme gimme
ALL

Gimme gimme,
Gimme gimme gimme
ALL

I'm really not a material boy
I rent to own, I'm self-employed
But I've got this mirrored paperweight
So I can watch myself evaporate
[masturbate]
[deteriorate]
[incinerate]

I'm not the type to contemplate
The meaning of my life...it's GREAT!
Now excuse me while I take this call...
Well, I like, I want, I need it all

Gimme gimme,
Gimme gimme gimme
ALL

Gimme gimme,
Gimme gimme gimme
ALL

Johnson incorporates rock, jazz, blues, funk, country, and world music, mixed with thoughtful lyrics, strong vocals, and virtuosic harmonica playing, to create a unique, modern concoction of sound. ... more
