   About Matt Johnston
It seems like centuries since we spent a summer on the open sea. We were trying to study fishes, but we didn't catch a single thing. We were children then, but now we're a couple of fools - it's been a long time coming, now I'm coming on back to you.

The mountains over my house block out all the sun. I've been taking my vitamins, but I don't think they're going to be enough. I need the light you give me, because I'm tired of the gloom - it's been a long time coming, now I'm coming on back to you.

Babe, will you take care of me like the Devil said he could? He made broth out of my body and blood, he said it tasted good. Now I'm forsaking the devil like I always knew I would - it's been a long time coming, now I'm coming on back to you.

And now I'm riding on the night bus, sleeping at sixty miles an hour. The whole world is a motorway, the aislelight is a dying star, and I'm just one of thirty lonely lovers locked inside this tomb - it's been a long time coming, now I'm coming on back to you.

Yo Matt,

Barry Maclean here. I'm doing the 'Matt role' at Transmission this Thursday! Any tips?

Kindly the people here at the Tolbooth took me in from the streets and gave me some work. They must have not liked my busking.

Here, is the extent of my work... check these out.

yeah i hadn't seen you or the ads before. the ads sounded good. their second last song was awesome, but i can't remember what it was called or anything. i'd recognise it if i heard the chorus again, though... had two girls in front of me chatting loudly through their whole set though.
kind of annoying!
