Lyrics:-

We set out our stall
But our conversations mental
I’m not unhinged
More totally unique
I might be keen
But I'm not guided by my winkle
Its not obscene if this is all to do with love	

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

Our open arms have gone flying in the wind
I’m not religious but God deliver me a drink
I’ve always charmed the birds out of the trees
So why can’t I just once not practise what I preach

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But focus on me

I’ve always been the biggest pain in the arse
I’ll change for you ,ain’t you the lucky one

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

Lyrics by Johnno Casson © 2012

Lets talk about us

Truth

I came for the countryside and for the salty air
I came for the people found living here
I came for the feel and the open lands
I came to the sunset over Jaywick Sands

It’s a who ya doing and stay in touch
Good morning to a neighbour to thank you very much
So many decent people trying to make their way
From Chadwell St Mary to Layer De La Haye

And we just might have found a better life
Where the kids can grow up well
We walk around like were on holiday
I know that all is well
  
This is Essex
This is Essex
Yeah this is Essex
This is Essex
And this is home

I’m frilled by the night sky 
I see all the stars above
No place has everything 
But this place has everything I love
I love the way that strangers talk to you on the bus
From Brightlingsea to Mersea this is Colchester sending love

This ain’t fake no
This is real
So many special people with (Es)sex appeal
This ain’t no xenophobic overdrve
Or taking back the county to 1985

No this is Essex
This is Essex
Yeah this is Essex
This is Essex
And this is home
Yeah this is home
Every time I think about it 
This is home
I’m home

This is Essex

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

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.

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
