Silver Spoon by Stevie Jones and The Wildfires Lyrics

Johnny never really had to try
All the things he wanted came to him every time
Fifteen he got given new three guitars
His seventeenth birthday he got a brand new car

Johnny went to all the fests and gigs
Download, Reading, 02 with all the best tickets
Daddy knew a few folk who worked on TV
With access all areas in with VIPs

He never had to try
Oh never had to try
Johnny never really had to try

Johnny liked music over Chemistry
French Maths English and Geography
He played a song to applause in assembly
He was never nervous it all came naturally

He never had to try
Oh never had to try
Johnny never really had to try
He recorded songs on his PC
Copied chords and ideas, borrowed melodies
Sent a song to his friend
At the BBC
Who gave it to a DJ on a CD
Well a family friend in PR heard about his song
Called a friend who knew a friend who knew Jools Holland
The Sunday papers did a piece on this new bright thing
Johnny got the call from a record company

He never had to try
Oh never had to try
Johnny never really had to try

Hey

Airplay royalty cheques interviews reviews
Session band with one big coach to the next venue
Don’t speak to anyone in his dressing room
Everyone comes to him
And never has to try

He never had to try
Oh never had to try
Johnny never really had to try
He never had to try
Oh never had to try
Johnny never really had to try
So raise a glass to all of us here
We try all our lives
Johnny's got it all
And he never has to try
