Lyrics
JJ Was A Metalhead
JJ was a metalhead
Slayer, Sabbath, Priest
The studs, crosses, leather
The nature of the beast
Headbanging was his big thing
Air guitar close second
But things they did gradually change
As middle age beckoned
His long hair crept right up his back
Denims made way for khaki
Raw meat replaced by healthy options
Jagermeister by saki
Chorus
Whatever happened to our JJ
The metalheads all moan
He sold his soul to the devil
Now the only thing he sells...... is bank loans
Verse
The skulls and chains have disappeared
Hugo Boss makes him come alive
The devil horns are in the past
Now he does high fives
The metal riffs are never heard
No "Slaughter" or "Ace Of Spades"
These days JJ is totally hooked........
On Snow Patrol and Coldplay
Chorus
Whatever happened to our JJ
The metalheads they all moan
He sold his soul to the devil
Now the only thing he sells ......
is bank loans
