Johnny Thunders - Leave me alone (1978)

I don't where I'm goin'
I don't know where I've been
If ya help me darlin'
I'm gonna let you in

All greased (juiced?) up
I got nowhere to go
Seems like a quiet night
On the telephone

Dig it...

My little chatterbox
Boy you squawk a lot
C'mon, gimme some lips
Yeah, chatterbox
Do you remember?

Aw, leave me alone
Why don't you all go home?
No matter what you say
It's the other way
Aw, leave me alone
Aw, leave me alone
Aw, leave me alone
Aw, leave me alone

Dig it...

Cracking song. This was the tormented cry of my teenage years! Johnny Thunders couldn't half give it some! 🌋

Ah, the romance of slowly killing yourself in public. Amazing Walter made it to 71. But he was always the smarter one. RIP, my old teenage idols.

Let s go Johnny Thunders Genzale!! From Avellino Italy ( your parents)!

[glamcityrocker]

No one else like him ! Awesome rock song this bad ass guitar

[robertafierro]

These guys were what I thought was COOL. Arthur Kane turned out to be the GREATEST of them.all. He was a true musician. A REAL.ROCKER.

Johnny Thunders, a pesar de ser un drogadicto, era un genio de la musica y llevaba el punk en la sangre 😎😎❤❤

Reminds me of Chatterbox with the New York Dolls.

[ELIZABETHANNEBuonagura]

Head over to Flushing, Queens, that is where he is buried. RIP

Seitdem New York Dolls liebe ich ihn ich liebe seinen Sound schade dass er nicht mehr unter uns ist und auch so ein Gesang ging mir immer ans Herz Gerd Wessel

Of all places New Orleans. That would be the last place I would think of. Johnny was the essence of New York. 🎸🎸🎸🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ Thanks for the vids. Keep it alive, all you OG rock and rollers much pirate love. ☮️☮️🏴‍☠️🎸

Can’t people stop with all the heroin bullshit and just enjoy Johnny and this great tune. Okay yeah Johnny did heroin but he also inspired every single alt rock guitarist from Steve Jones to Peter Doherty. Let’s focus on that legacy!! Now leave him alone!

[frankdiscussion]

Chatterbox...he sang it with the NY Dolls

[A.M......]

Wow, that's Denis Lavant from all the Leos Carax films.

[leahflower]

[jano.e.]

I see what straight edge was a reaction to

[gretchenhagenlocher]

Such an Apropos place for Johnny's passing!🖤

This is a good advertisement for developing a healthy lifestyle. Just watch Johnny and don't do as he did.

I got in a fight with Johnny in a parking lot after show in Mpls. when I was 20 years old. He pissed me off and hit him over the head with a vintage Models Case. And damn if the bottle of hootch I had in there with rolls of film and other rock girl accouterments didn't daze him halfway to ground! Fortunately for Johnny in his already fkd up state a bouncer I'd known since I was 16 told me " that's enough!" In retrospect it's hysterical. Actually it was hysterical then to the truth! A bunch of ppl can say they got high with or screwed Thunders, I can say I beat him over the head for his BS with a 1950s Hookers Bag! ROCK AND ROLL! Gotta love
