OTH Tour 2005 (Atlanta) "John & Junior" by Bethany Joy Galeott - livei

John and Junior sung by Bethany Joy Galeotti (nee Lenz) in Atlanta, Georgia during the OTH Tour in 2005.

Unfortunately the audio and video are slightly out of sync - sorry!

The footage was filmed by Roxy so full credit goes to her :-)

Lyrics:

You're everything I thought
I wanted as a young girl
Handsome and troubled
Worldly, wise and misunderstood
They call you a scholar
But they don't know the difference
And they call you Professor
But they don't know the subject

And it's all the same I suppose
When everyone's just living in lies
Oh, God, I swear sometimes its easier
To just deny what I know
And why I'm waiting
Well you still say

What you want
What you wish
What you crave
You've saved for more than this
John and Junior

What you've giv'n
How you pray
What this means
What awaits you more than
John and Junior

Go on, accuse me of
Existing in a castle
Go on and say I'll be
Finally woken and broken
When I'm sorely disappointed
With how life really is
How the real world is
But don't you see

You call me a dreamer
And I'll call you comfortable
While I'm on my adventure
You'll be safe with your ego
And you're hiding beneath the skin
Of an unlearned warrior
Oh, God, he makes being lost
Look so good and so good is
Better than nothing at all

But worse than the best will fail
And I'm still waiting
Yeah you keep saying my child

What you want
What you wish
What you crave
You've saved for more than this
John and Junior

What you've giv'n
How you pray
What this means
What awaits you more than
John and Junior

Oh, if you count
It'll go by so slow
But if I try then
Maybe I could follow
What I know
And why I'm waiting
You still say

What you want
What you wish
What you crave
What you've saved
For more than this
John and Junior

What you've giv'n
How you pray
What this means
What awaits you
More than John and Junior

I love it, i wished there was a studio version!

Besides can someone explain me who Junior? That's not a name right, i mean john is but what about junior???????

[bethanyjoymusic]

Joy said during the tour that the song is indirectly about John Malkovich and Robert Downey Junior so that's where the names come from :)

[Surishta]

Thanks for replying.....Joy or whoever you maybe: friend of Joy, or maybe its really you Joy but you talk about yourself in third person.......hmmmmmm........or maybe not....lol

But anyways thanks again for answering and this song is really AWESOME.

I just wished there was a studio version. I guess I'll put that on my Christmas List and believe Santa Claus will grant that to me after all i've been good this year just like all Bethany's fans who are wishing for it..........

[bethanyjoymusic]

No worries! I'm definitely not Joy or a friend of hers/ affiliated with her in any way, lol. I'm just a fan like yourself. I only know about the what Joy said about this song from fan accounts during the tour when she talked about it. I'd love it if this or any other old live Joy performance was recorded as well- maybe it will happen one day, you never know look at what happened with Quicksand!

[bjoyfan]

I fucking love this song. Joy sounds beyond amazing in this. <3

[eenz16]

I would so kill to have a studio version of this song... Joy is amazinggggggggg!!!!

[doonology]

SHE IS FANTASTIC! <3

ok my 2nd time to comment, i'm still obsessed with this song and still hoping and praying for a studio version, her lyrics are nothing short of a genius and her voice, is that of an angel, if i've ever heard one. Gah, she's simply amazing.
