Lyrics

And the light goes dim and the good flows out
And it keeps me wondering, wondering what life’s about
I hit some lows and feel the spin
And it keeps me wondering, wondering how I can win

And when the darkness comes, I haven’t got a clue
I haven’t got protection, falling like a fool
My mind goes spinning round and I feel so bruised
It’ll strip my confidence, dignity, happiness before its through
And I feel the shame of it and I feel the strife
Oh God can you send me a plan for this life

So I reach for light to find my cure
Too tired of stumbling, stumbling, stumbling through the door

All I wanted, all I needed, all I got was nothing
All we hoped for, all we prayed for and all we got was nothing

I’ve had enough of my fickle foe
Too long been following, following everywhere I go
So I try to be kind and try to do good
No one warned me what I’d find in adulthood

So I reach for hope because it feels like home
Too long been stumbling, stumbling, stumbling on my own
So I turn to you to let me in, I’d rather just be poor and free than in a spin

And the good will out and a change will come and stop me worrying, worrying, worrying everyone
And I turn to you, my heart is flickering 
I’m wondering, wondering is this the end

(c)Johnno Casson - 2020

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
