Her loves like bee stings, bruising my heart
It always takes my breath away, pulse off the chart
All the meetings and cheating, just tear us apart
Don’t play on those mood swings, sending bee stings to my heart

I’ve got a runny nose and itchy feet
She’s got an upwardly mobile reputation to keep
I’ve got a wing and a prayer and that’s all I need
Getting those goosebumps ,I guess that all I need
(Repeat chorus)
She has a most excellent way of attracting me
She knows I’ve always had a weak spot for delightful company
She’s used to getting what she wants and not being told
Don’t pull on my heart strings
I’m some weakling or fool

God knows not everybody’s perfect
God knows not everybody’s right
We put our heart and soul in black and white
Now it’s driving us up the wall and its taking a heavy toll on both of us

Lyrics
Far too busy at work, forgetting to smile, so people think you’re moody
Putting on a front, when all you want to do, is lay down and sleep
I don’t need to try so hard to please everybody
I should take some time for myself and bring the goodness back

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while it’s still obtainable

Always running for trains and chasing my tail and people think I’m relaxed
Always good for a laugh or am I fooling myself, that I think I’m entertaining
Sometimes I am, sometimes I’m poor, sometimes I need to be shown the door
Sometimes I’m warm, sometimes I’m not, sometimes I’m just impatient 

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while there’s still a grain of hope

Baton down the hatches love, I’m letting go the tears
Hold my hand here comes the brighter years 

I just want to get my sparkle back while it’s still intact
I just want to get my sparkle again while it’s still obtainable.

Get my sparkle back

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
