Victory Square lyrics

Oh, me name is wailin' Johnny
Way-hey, Johny Boreen
At Cordova and Carrall,
was formed in the marrow
Of whiskey and amphetamines

They call me wailin' Johnny
Way-hey, Johnny Boreen
A mile from the shore,
by these heroes of yours
I'll be there,
hands in the air

Victory Square in all its glory
Way-hey, Johnny Boreen
The pubs and the junkers,
skids and the punkers
Have always been good to me

But the citizens deplore me
Way-hey, Johnny Boreen
So cruel and fickle
Without a nickel to spare
Hands in the air
Victory Square

My brothers and my sisters
Way-hey, Johnny Boreen
This world will defame them
and money will claim them
And cast them right out to sea

Say a prayer for wailin' Johnny
Way-hey, Johnny Boreen
At Cambie and Hastings,
I shall be wasting a prayer
Hands in the air
Victory Square
