Johnny Swallow: scandalous name?

[Nancy]

OK, maybe I just have a dirty mind, but couldn't the name "Johnny Swallow" have an alternate meaning? I mean, I know it is from a song and all, but seriously, am I the only one to have thought of this? Is the Johnny Swallo from the song a real person? Johnny Swallow, do you have any input on your name?

From a slang dictionary:
John Thomas: noun The penis. An old British well established but aging euphemism.

Johnny: noun A condom. Derives from the term French Letter via the archaic slang Frenchie and consequently Johnny Frenchman.

From the American Heritage Dictionary:
swallow: verb 1. To cause (food or drink, for example) to pass through the mouth and throat into the stomach 2. To put up with (something unpleasant) 3. To refrain from expressing; suppress 4. To consume or destroy as if by ingestion; devour

Well, since we're posting references to oral sex, here you go:

Better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy!

Yup, U2girl, "J Swallo" is a B-side. I looked it up and it said that Johnny Swallow was an "old friend" of the band. Lyrics:

Johnny Swallo
Stop watching
I take you by the hand

Stop inside
Paul and me
We walk by

Walking silent
I saw
It was burning

Village
On fire
Was a village on fire
