Lyrics 
I thought that I got over you
After you got under me
I thought that I could learn from you
And I could and I could
You taught me I’m an entity
Panadol & Morrissey
Up at 12 not in bed until 3
But we don’t give a monkeys

Its not an 80’s vibe
Its not a cheap soap opera
Its how we live our lives
It is golden, it is ours

And we harvest the time
We cherish the day
Don’t mind we look ridiculous
Hope we don’t look sane
We give it all we’ve got
And put the kids to shame
We are all laughing ,we are all laughing 
As we harvest our days

And now you cannot stand the sight of me
Tobacco stains and tragedy
More in common with newsnight than glee
Though my eyes still shine
From some gritty punk turned into vintage and twee
From back combed hair to comfy settee
You’ve got a mortgage and 3 cats to feed
But your legs look amazing

No we’ve not gone soft
Just do our hating from comfortable chairs
The gloves are always off
We are special, we are proud

And we harvest the time
We cherish the day
Don’t mind we look ridiculous
Hope we don’t look sane
We’ve mischief in our bones
And longing in our hearts
We are all dancing,we are all dancing
As we harvest our days

Harvest Our Days

Lyrics
Leave the gas on ,blow your brains out ,close the door 
Shrug your shoulders, pull the curtains and keep your emotions raw
Don’t go out much, hate your neighbours , buy a gun
Eat for England, sleep forever and weight a ton

They’re only feelings, they ain’t real they just float about
They’re just feelings, try to shut them out

Ain't it a marvellous life
Ain't it a marvellous life

Uncross your fingers, open your windows. go outside
Talk to strangers, listen to music and dress with pride
Smile at babies, turn off the TV, get a cat
Walk for breakfast, dance past midnight, be happy and fat

We all have choices, some we can take and some we can’t
If we all have choices lets lay down our arms

Ain't it a marvellous life
Ain't it a marvellous existence

They’re only feelings, they ain’t real they just float about
They’re just feelings, try to shut them out

Ain't it a marvellous life
Ain't it a marvellous life

Johnno Casson’s album 'Window Shopping' (produced by Wim Oudijk) was recently released on Folkwit Records.

Full Biography:-

London born/Colchester based Singer/Songwriter also performing as 'Snippet' https://soundcloud.com/snippet and Old Tramp https://soundcloud.com/oldtramp

Johnno was born in a wonderfully multi cultural Hackney,London and grew up to the sounds of British Pop music,lovers rock,ska & funk echoing around his head.
In recent years he has taken the time honoured route of moving from the East End to Essex and is now firmly based in Colchester. 

In a wonderfully chequered career Johnno has wore many hats,bought many T Shirts,had all sorts of jobs from the shop floor to the corporate boardroom and throughout has continue to make vibrant British Pop music.

Formerly the lead singer in Deep Joy (who worked with Andrew Weatherall,James Lavelle ,Adrian Sherwood and toured with The Farm )
Colchester artist Johnno may be also known to you as Snippet , the funky folky wonky pop multi instrumentalist, who has delivered an extremely well received range of vibrant releases in the last few years in the shape of 4 e.p's and the debut album ‘Slowly slowly catchee monkey’. In the process Snippet became the most played artist in the history of BBC Introducing and was described by Q Magazine as “reminiscent of early Beck”.

Whilst preparing for a run of Snippet live shows, Johnno found time to write an album's worth of new songs with a new acoustically minded sound and decided to release this under his real name of Johnno Casson.

Many people have said Johnno has an innate ability to deliver quirky, intelligent and infectious songs. On Johnno's forthcoming album 'Window Shopping' he takes a sidestep from the bouncy left-field electro pop music of Snippet into a collection of beautiful, personal, melancholic, honest & acoustic flavoured songs which capture the most interesting nuances he finds in people, in his own experiences and life in all its seeming simplicity. 

This is music with a bitter-sweet bite that lingers like that a big kid spoiling for a fight at the end of the school day without seeing that you have a light saber behind your back,this is a light that just refuses to go out, refuses to lose its shine or turn its back on you.  A sense of longing never felt this good.
