Fine Young Cannibals,

'Johnny Come Home' was the debut single release by British band Fine Young Cannibals, taken from their debut album Fine Young Cannibals.

It is similar to the style of many other of the band's hits, a mixture of rock and ska with Roland Gift's distinctive vocals, as well as a Jazz-type trumpet solo.

The single was released in 1985 and was one of the group's most popular hits. The song tells the gritty realistic story of a runaway youth, and alternates from the first-person narrative, explaining how his arrival in the big city has not turned out as he expected, to the view of the parents in the chorus, expressing their wish that he would come home.

Although it failed to reach the Top 40 in the United States, peaking at nuber 76, it was a good start for the group in the UK, peaking at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached number 9 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in the US.
