Johanna drove slowly into the city
The Hudson River all filled with snow
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger, oh oh oh

A thousand years in one piece of silver
She took it from his lily white hand
Showed no fear, she'd seen the thing
In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering

Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay!

His Honor drove southward seeking exotica
Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas, oh oh oh

I saw Johanna down in the subway
She took an apartment in Washington Heights
Half of the ring lies here with me
But the other half's at the bottom of the sea

Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Look outside at the raincoats gone, say oh
Ay ay ay ay! Ay ay ay ay!

Looks like J&E will be performing w/ the other novelty acts on xfactor...

lyrics

You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves
I'd gone to find some better wheels
4, 5 meters running round the bend
When the government agents surround you again

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Out of control but you're playing a role
Do you think you can go til the 18th hole
Or will you flip-flop the day of the championship?
Try to go it alone on your own for a bit

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Baby baby baby baby right on (X2)
Baby baby baby its a light on
Baby baby baby its a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on
Time (x5)
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Oooh, Let 'em go Di-Diane
If Diane Young won't change your mind
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Irish and proud, baby, naturally
But you got the luck of a Kennedy
So grab the wheel and keep holding it tight
Til you're tottering off into that good night

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

Baby baby baby baby right on (X2)
Baby baby baby its a light on
Baby baby baby its a lifetime
Baby baby baby baby right on
Time (x5)
Baby baby baby baby right on time

Nobody knows what the future holds
And its bad enough just getting old
Live my life in self-defense
You know I love the past cause I hate suspense

If Diane Young won't change your mind,
Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

I'm glad they've been included in the XF final and I hope they make the most of the 60+ seconds they get to remind everyone of what they're missing - in a credible way.

Eeekkk

I'm pretty nervous for them, but I hope they get a chance to show how they've improved and developed.. And I hope they enjoy it!

At least they've been acknowledged and invited to perform

Latest report mentions silver costumes and flying... this could be good.

Just saw the boys on X Factor, that was a surprise!! (Haven't been on here for a few days, so didn't see the post yesterday). Shame they were put in with all the dross though.....

Aw, I've missed those boys. That was so good finally seeing them back on XF. It's right they have finally got recognition as being entertaining and 'most memorable' but a shame they got lumped in with the joke acts when they've been such a very successful act outside of XF.

Can't wait for it to be posted... it was actually quite funny. Also looking forward to listening to sam/nicole's duet again, as John's mic was was hot and one could hear him talking in the background... hilarious!

Is that what I could hear?? I wondered what it was.

I was confused too, at first, I thought it was one of my neighbors.

Then he said something quite clear about Edward... fantastic!

aaaaand here it is.... other peeps heard quite early on then J&E at appx. 2:30...

I was a bit scared but I really enjoyed the performance. They totally stole the show. People on Twitter couldn't stop saying how this season's contestant haven't the personality the twins do

Also John in the judges table was just epic. Louis seemed serious but in that point, he lost it


BTW The twins have recorded a backstage funny video for the Xtra Factor that has been aired tonight too

Here's the xtra factor clip...

A nice write up about the twins at last nights show from Lindsay Parker

https://twitter.com/lyndseyparker/st...53412064215040

This is what I was talking about when I kept asking if the twins would do a music vid for each song on YL.

"Visual Album" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Lindsay gets it... and I think most Americans would too, given the chance. We like quirky.

is it removed?

Here's another one:

Yes, it's a shame they are still viewed as a novelty act in the UK... but it is what it is (& how they've been marketed). I guess J&E have finally accepted that they will never be taken seriously, in terms of music, in the UK and are therefore willing to participate in these types of performances just to maintain their presence in the public eye.

While I somehow understand their decision to participate, I do find it a pity that, after several recent interviews indicating they wanted to be taken more seriously, they have reverted to the 'bouncy clowns' meme.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the marketing of their upcoming album... will they even attempt the UK... or will they continue to rely on fan-spam to get them radio play there?

I was going through some articles dated after the Lipstick ESC... and found quite a few mentioning a potential deal w/ Disney. Even though it was quite a while ago, I wonder what happened with all of that. A Disney show in the US would have been the perfect format for J&E... singing, bouncy clowns.

thank you

To everyone going to Panto... I hope you have a wonderful, splendid, fun-filled, adventure! Woo-hop!!!

Jeddy Christmas!

It sounds like the panto is going down a storm! Videos are starting to appear - here's a good one:

Thanks so much for posting the vids and pics... they're wonderful!

Sue's vids are always great!

It looks like the twins are enjoying themselves immensely... I'm so happy for them and for all of the people who are in the audience. It looks like soooooo much fun!

Well-done!
