about

Jimmy Jones is based on someone I knew at high school. Superstar, macho, athlete, played rugby, school prefect but enjoyed bullying. He joined the army, married the pretty girl but 5 years later left her for another guy.
This all happened around the early 80s so I tried to bring in that post-punk new wave vibe of the time.

lyrics

Jimmy, he’s gonna get you
Gonna get you good,
Gonna test your teenage manhood
You know he’ll get you down, he’s all around
Playground terrorist, friendship arsonist
Up-tight, short-sighted, bully boy

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jones, sit around getting stoned
D’ya, d’ya, d’ya know - he’s gonna get you

Jimmy, he’s gonna teach you
Teach you things you’re not gonna learn in high school
But the lessons you’ll learn, are the lessons he learned
From his up-tight, short-sighted, bully dad who was
The neurotic, psychotic hardest man in Killyleagh

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jones, sit around getting stoned
D’ya, d’ya, d’ya know - he’s gonna get you

Jimmy, what’s that you’re saying
No one wants to hear that homophobic bullshit
But what goes around, is what comes around
So say it loud you’re gay and proud,
Say it loud you’re gay and proud

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jones, sit around getting stoned
D’ya, d’ya, d’ya know - he’s gonna get you.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Jones, sit around getting stoned
D’ya, d’ya, d’ya know…

Hands off baby, nobody can save you,
Save you from whaat's going on
Macho baby, isn't gonna change you
Change you from what's going down
