Annotationen
Untypisch für Punk – eine 7 Minuten Nummer, die anfangs an Freejazz erinnernd unglaubliche einzelne Töne staksig in die Luft zeichnet. Dann spielt sich die Band warm, bis sich die beiden Gitaristen Tom Verlaine und Richard Lloyd zu einem flüssigen Powerpop aufschwingen, der ewig weitergehen könnte. Und wie sich die beiden Gitarren ergänzen, das ist nicht wie sonst Lead- und Rhythmus-Gitarre, sondern das sind zwei Teile vom selben Stück, wie Ying und Yang.

Lyrics
Now Little Johnny Jewel Oh, he's so cool He has no decision He's just trying to tell a vision But some thought that this was sad And others thought it mad They just scratching the surface; JJ can do the floor kiss Was he on display? No, no, not today All that guy ever said He said, "I want my little wing-head" He half-asleep at night Over his head, sensation of flight And he wake up dreaming... Dreaming... And he run down to the airport-- The rush. The roar And he crouched down behind a fence With a chest full of lights Then... He loses his senses Oh Little Johnny Jewel He's so cool But if you see him looking lost You ain't gotta come on so boss! And you know that he's paid; You know that he's paid the price All you gotta do for that guy... Is wink your eye
