Johnny and Mary lyrics:

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy, truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman

But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool
Johnny say's he'll live any where, when he earns time to

Mary combs her hair, says she should be use to it

Mary always edges her bets, she never knows, what to think
She says that he still acts, like he's being discovered

Scared that he'll get caught, without a second thought

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion
So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely

Mary counts walls, says she should be use to it

I've been listening to Placebo for about 15 years now. I was sold on the first song i heard and now i am hearing this song for the first time. I grew a lot sins then and right now i think this is the only think that makes me feel some worm inside. Thank you..

As a placebo fan I can't believe this is the first time I've heard Robert Palmer's song covered in such magnificent fashion, placeno's angst and unique sound brought me to shed a tear at the emotion and sound ❤️❤️👍👍

[xxDrain]

Placebo kinda set the tone for my whole reality, covers or not, the Placebo stuff got to me.

[balarama]

This has the angst and drive of Placebo of old, a wonderful cover.

[chanyphilly]

Until today, I had no idea Placebo had covered this, what a great find!!!

[denisechappell]

It's a classic and Placebo did a good job

[katevann]

Look for Robert Palmers Jonnyand Mary from 1980 ♡
I love this one too....

[Tomm]

How come after all those years this song appears right in front of me on a platter, when i've search it far and wide all those years! A great day it is!

[robertacanu]

Perfect punk version of johnny and mary *-*

[tomasgonzalezmarin]

OHHH I love Robert Palmer and this version of Johnny and Mary from Placebo. Many thanks!!

[maagosia]

I will recognise Brian Molko's vocal everywhere. So when I heard this in a commercial after first two words I knew it's Placebo‼️ As always awesome‼️

[kyliem]

I didn't realise so many artists had covered this Robert Palmer song.

[Melanie-kiyk]

i heard this song for the first time today and it made me so happy for some reason

[FunctionalJunkie_]

Everything placebo covers is masterful

[jorgeamchz]

Me gusta mucho esa canción Pero con su interpretación les quedó excelente. Saludos desde Guadalajara México

[pronzac]

Great cover, powerful and delicate at the same time

[julieross]

Been searching for the name of the original for decades, and finally managed to find it. Only then for a double surprise that my favourite band covered it. Love how Brian sings the first line...
