Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
When the real thing goes wrong
And you can't get it on
And your love she has gone
And you got to carry on
And you shoot out the light
Ain't coming home for the night
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price
Somebody please, please help me
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down
Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well you know, you know, you know the price is right!
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Moonlight on the water
Sunlight on my face
You and me together
We are in our place
The Gods are in the heavens
Angels treat us well
Oracle has spoken
We cast the perfect spell
The queen is in the counting house
Counting out the money
The king is in the kitchen
Making bread and honey
No friends and yet no enemies
Absolutely free
No rats aboard the magic ship
Of perfect harmony
Now it begins, let it begin
Cleanup time, hey, cleanup time
Cleanup time, well, well, well
However far we travel
Wherever we may roam
The center of the circle
Will always be our home, yeah, yeah
Yeah, cleanup time
Cleanup time, cleanup time
Cleanup time, cleanup time
Beef Jerky, beef jerky, beef jerky
It's only sane to be insane
Psychotic builds a castle
And neurotic lives in it
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at the verge of calamity
O' sanity, o' sanity
What am I to do with you
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But you're always standing behind me like a devil in hell
O' sanity, o' sanity
Why don't you let me go
Let go, let go, cut it out!
(Instrumental)

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeah...better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeah...alright...hit it!
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is...if you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

And we'd like you to listen to a bit of our Wedding Album
Out soon on Apple, peace, goodbye, peace
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
I took my loved one out to dinner
So we could get a bite to eat
And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful, I could eat her
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
I took my loved one to a big field
So we could watch the English sky
We both were nervous, feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
We sat and talked of revolution
Just like two liberals in the sun
We talked of women's liberation
And how the hell we could get things done
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
I took my loved one to a big field
So we could catch the English sky
We both were nervous feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well
Well, well, well, oh well

Remember when you were young
How the hero was never hung
Always got away
Remember how the man
Used to leave you empty handed
Always, always let you down
If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind
Remember, remember, today
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done
Don't feel sorry
'bout the way it's gone
Remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall
Always had their way
Remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom
Always, always playing a part
If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Legs
What am I going to do with my legs
They're so hot
They won't stay on the cot
And they're screaming!
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Head
What am I going to do with my head
It's so light
It just gives me the fright
It's full of champagne and dreams
Sleepless night
All um umm
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
This brush must sell like crazy
I mean there's a lot of lonely people out there
I wanna go to the ball
I wanna give it all
I'll take it all
Sleepless night
All I'm asking for is...
What am I asking for?
Just as tight a$ you can make it
Hard and slow ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ you can shake it girl
Git it on and do your stuff
Tight a$ you can get it
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight's alright but if ya can't stand the heat
You better get back in the shade
Just as tight a$ an Indian rope trick
Long and tough ain't hard enough
Just as tight a$ a dope fiend's fix my friend
Git it up and do your stuff
Tight a$ you can boogie
Tight a$ got it made
Uptight's alright but if ya can't stand the heat
you better get back in the shade
Well tight a$ got me cornered
Tight a$ got me laid
Tight a$ strut your stuff so tough
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Standing on the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France
The man in the Mac
Said, "You've gotta go back"
You know, they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
"You can make it okay
"You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspeople said
"Say, what're you doing in bed?"
I said, "we're only trying to get us some peace"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cakes in a bag
The newspapers said
"She's gone to his head
"They look just like two gurus in drag"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acrons tied in a sack
The men from the press
Said, "we wish you success
"It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', been told a long time ago
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', been told a long time ago
I been told, baby, you been bold, I won't be your fool no more
Oh, big conniver, nothing but a jiver, done got hip to your jive
Oh, big conniver, nothing but a jiver, done got hip to your jive
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', won't be your fool no more
Oh, Malinda, she's a solid sender, you know you better surrender
Oh, Malinda, she's a solid sender, you know you better surrender
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', won't be your fool no more
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', been told a long time ago
Slippin' and slidin', peepin' and hidin', been told a long time ago
I been told, baby, you been bold, I won't be your fool no more
Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She gets me through this god awful lonliness
A natural high butterfly Oh I,
I need, need, need her
Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat and forget who I am
I need, need, need, need her
Well I was wondering how long this could go on, on and on
Well I thought I could never be surprised
But could it be that I bit my own tongue
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong
A bird of paradise
The sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind she blew my mind think that I
I love, love, love, love, love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
No one, I think, is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Always, no, sometimes, think it's me
But, you know, I know when it's a dream
I think, er, no, I mean, er, yes, but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever

(This is a story about your friend and mine
Who is it, who is it, who is it?)
There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk
You're mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Your phone don't ring no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall
Well your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied
Well your teeth are clean but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
We lost our green land

All the little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
All they really needed from you
Was, maybe, some love
All the little boys and girls
Living in this crazy world
All they really needed from you
Was, maybe, some love
Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real life
Yes, it's real
I don't expect you to understand
The kingdom of Heaven is in your hands
I don't expect you to wake from the dream
Too late for crying, now, that it seems
All their little plans and schemes
Ain't nothing but a bunch of dreams
All you really needed to do
Was, maybe, some love
Intro:
You say you found Jesus Christ
He's the only one
You say you've found Buddha
Sittin' in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Facin' to the East
You say you found Krishna
Dancin' in the streets
Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew
And it's your mother (your mother, don't forget your mother, lad)
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
Well you may believe in devils and you may believe in lords
But if you don't go out and serve yourself, lad, ain't no room service here
It's still the same old story
A bloody Holy War
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study war no more
A fight for God and country
We're gonna set you free
We'll put you back in the Stone Age
If you won't be like me - get it?
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
Well you may believe in devils and you may believe in lords
'But Christ, you're gonna have to serve yourself and that's all there is to it.
So get right back here it's in the bloody fridge. God, when I was a kid.
Didn't have stuff like this, TV-fuckin' dinners and all that crap.
You fuckin' kids are all the fuckin' same! Want a fuckin' car now...
Lucky to have a pair of shoes!'
You tell me you found Jesus Christ
Well that's great and he's the only one
You say you just found Buddha
Sittin' on his ass in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Kneeling on a bloody carpet facin' the East
You say you found Krishna
With a bald head dancin' in the street ('Well, Christ, now you're
being heard')
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you ('that's right, lad, you better get that straight
into your fuckin' head')
You got to serve yourself ('you know that, who else is gonna do it for you, it
ain't me I tell you that')
Well, you may believe in Jesus, and you may believe in Marx
And you may believe in Marks and Spencer's and you may believe in bloody
Woolworths
But there's something missing in this whole bloody stew
And it's your mother, your poor bloody mother ('she worked for you in the
back bedroom, full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives. God, you can't
forget that awful moment, you know. You should have been in the bloody
war, lad, and you would know all about it. Well, I'll tell you something.')
It's still the same old story
A Holy bloody War, you know, with the Pope and all that stuff
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study no more war
A fight for God and country, and the Queen and all that
We're gonna set you free
Bomb you back into the fuckin' Stone Age
If you won't be like me, you know, get down on your knees and pray
Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew
And it's your goddamn mother you dirty little git, now
get in there and wash yer ears!
NOTE: "[This song] was right after Dylan's song [...] "You
Gotta Serve Someone", you know - the lord, I suppose, you know.
So then he was kind of upset about that and it was a dialogue,
you know. In that sense it's fun, I mean you can hear it was
fun. He wasn't seriously against it. He showed his anger in
a way but also [...] his sense of humour." (Yoko Ono, 1998)
-"daddy, when did we have no house?"
-"when?"
-"when, when did we have no house and we rented this house?"
-"in 1973, we didn't have this house, yet, that's when we bought this house"

-"two years before you were born"
-"oh, and i just wasn't coming with you? to find this house?"
-"no, well you weren't born yet. you were still in the sky."
-"oh, and when i came back, was down here, what did i went in?"
-"a little, a little cardboard box. with a little blanket in, little teeny tiny
Teeny tiny little boy in a little tiny cardboard box. they used to have apples
in it, hmm
You used to do this here."
-"a apple box!"
-"well, a little cardboard box, you see. like they bring groceries in. and it

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out?
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
You say you've got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, you'll have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Alright?
Look at me
Who am I supposed to be?
Look at me
What am I supposed to be?
Look at me
Oh my love oh my love
Here I am
What am I supposed to be?
Here I am
What can I do for you?
Here I am
Oh my love oh my love
Who am I?
Nobody knows but me
Who am I?
Nobody else can see
Just you and me
Who are we?
Only you
can make this world seem right
Only you
can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
can thrill me like you do
and fill my heart with love for only you
Only you
can make this change in me
For it's true
you are my destiny
When you hold my hand, i understand
the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
my one and only you, only you
Only you and you alone

the magic that you do do
You're my dream come true
my one my one my one and only you
only you, only you, only you,
only you, only you, only you,
only you, only you, only you
Let me count the ways how I love you
It's like that gentle wind you feel at dawn
It's like that first sun that hits the dew
It's like that cloud with a gold lining telling us softly
That it'll be a good day, a good day for us
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Let me count the ways how I miss you
It's like that oak tree in my childhood garden
It's like that first summer I spent in Egypt
It's like that warm evening you read to me
Both knowing deeply
That it's a good time, a good time for us
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Let me count the ways how I see you
It's like that lake in the mountain you heard about
It's like that autumn sky that stays so blue
It's like that air around me that holds me gently
Whispering strongly that you're always there, always for me
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Out the blue you came to me
Every day I thank the Lord and Lady
For the way that you came to me
Anyway it had to be two minds
One destiny
All my life's been a long slow knife
I was born just to get to you
Anyway I survived long enough
To make you my wife
Like a U.F.O. you came to me
And blew away life's misery
Out the blue life's energy
Only people just know how to talk to people
Only people know just how to change the world
Only people realize the power of people
A million heads are better than one, so come on, get it on!
Well I know how we tried and the millions of tears that we cried
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
And we can't be denied with woman and man side by side
Make no mistake it's our future we're making,
bake the cake and eat it too!
We don't want no pig brother scene
Well it's long overdue there
ain't nothing better to do
Now we are hipper we been thru the trip
We can fly right on thru, there's nothing on earth we can do
Fish or cut bait it's our future
e're making all together now pull the chain!
You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea
When we're together or when we're apart
There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts
Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you
You are my woman, I am your man
Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key
And every morning I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee
One day at a time is all we do
Written by John Lennon
Standing on the corner
Just me and yoko ono
We was waiting for jerry to land
Up come a man with the guitar
in his hand
Singing "have a marijuana if you can"
His name was Davis Peel
And we found that he was real
He sangs"The pope smokes
dope everyday"
Up come a police man shoved
us up the street
Singin, "power to the
people today!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
Well we went to max's
Kansas City
Got down the nitty gritty
With the Elephants Memory
Band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono
Elephants Memory Band!
Well we played some funky
boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing "Long tall sally's
a man"
Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher
Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
Well we did the Staten
Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the fillmore and
Apollo for freedom,
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through
the village
But found that we had left it
back in london.
Well nobody came to bug us,
hustle ud or shove us
so we decided to make it
our home
If the man wants to shove
us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said,
"come!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
NYC down in the village
What a bad-ass city!
Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye
Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you but you didn't need me
So I just got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbye
Mama don't go
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering
Glimmering

When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind

Silent cloud
Touch me

Calls me
So I sing a song of love
For Julia

We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games together
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games together
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war

It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir of breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair?
In the stair of breathing air.
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me.
They give him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta.....gotta, set him free.
If he had been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breatthing air, like you and me
They gave me ten for two
What more can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta....gottta set him freee.
Was he jailed for what he done?
Representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
>From the clutches oof the man
Let him free, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids.
They gave me ten for two
What more can the bastards do?
Say please
Please
Please
Say please
We take turns conducting
You gotta eat, you gotta drink
You gotta feel something, you gotta worry
But it's hard, you know it's hard
Sometime I feel like going down
You gotta live, you gotta love
You gotta be somebody, you gotta shove
But you know it's hard, it's really hard
Sometime I feel like going down
But when it's good, it's really good
And when I hold you in my arms, baby
Sometime I feel like going down
You gotta run, you gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But you know it's hard, it's hard to get hard
Sometime I feel like going down
You gotta run, you gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But you know it's hard, it's so hard to get hard
There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
living for today yu-huh.
Imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do,
nothing to kill or die for,
and no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
living life in peace yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed or hunger,
a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.
(Can you let the musicians in?)
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
(This is the one I like best)
People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Written by Yoko Ono
Save your sweet talk for when you score,
Keep your monday kisses for your glass lady,
I want the truth and nothing more,
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,
You didn't have to tell a white lie,
You know you scored me for life,
Don't stick your fingers in my pie,
You know I'll see through your jive,
I want the truth and nothing more,
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,
When you were angry you had love in your eyes,
when you were sad you had a dream in your voice,
But now your giving me your window smile,
Written by John Lennon
Here in some stranger's room,
Late in the afternoon,
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it,
I'm losing you,
Somehow the wires have crossed,
Communication's lost,
Can't even get you on the telephone,
Just got to shout about it,
I'm losing you,
Here in the valley of indecision,
I don't know what to do,
I feel you sliping away,
I feel you sliping away,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
You say your not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad stuff,
So waht the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a bandaid on it?
And stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now,
I know I hurt you then,
But that was way back when,
And well, do you still have to carrey that cross?
Don't want to hear about it,
I'm losing you,
The years have passed so quickly
One thing I've understood
I am only learning
To tell the trees from wood
I know what's coming down
And I know where it's coming from
And I know and I'm sorry (yes I am)
But I never could speak my mind
And I know just how you feel
And I know now what I have done
And I know and I'm guilty
But I never could speak my mind
I know what I was missing
But now my eyes can see
I put myself in your place
As you did for me
Today I love you more than yesterday
Right now I love you more right now
Now I know what's coming down
I can feel where it's coming from
And I know it's getting better all the time
I told you before stay away from my door
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother
The freaks on the phone won't leave me alone
So don't give me that brother, brother, brother
I found out
Now that I showed you what I been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
Now that I found out I know I can cry
I found out
Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand
Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man
I heard something bout my ma and my pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star
I found out
Old hare Krishna got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with pie in the sky
There ain't no Guru who can see thru your eyes
I found out
I been through junkies I been through it all
I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
Can't do you no harm to feel your own pain
Say, you're looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
You're looking for oblivion
With one eye on the hall of fame
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well, I can ditch it out
But I just can't take it
You're looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You wanna save humanity
But it's people that you just can't stand
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well, I can sing for my supper
But I just can't make it
Oh, sing
Well, say, you're lookin' for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
But you always look the other way
I don't wanna face it, oh no
I don't wanna face it, no no, no no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it
Yeah, I don't wanna face it
I don't wanna face it, oh no
Face it
I don't wanna face it, no
Face it
Face it babe
I'll wait for you
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor mama, I don't wanna fly
Well, I don't wanna be a failure mama, I don't wanna cry
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Well, I don't wanna be a rich man mama, I don't wanna cry
Well, I don't wanna be a poor man mama, I don't wanna fly
Well, I don't wanna be a lawyer mama, I don't wanna lie
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, hey!
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Well, I don't wanna be a thief now mama, I don't wanna fly
Well, I don't wanna be a churchman mama, I don't wanna cry
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, hey!
Oh well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Well, I don't wanna be a sailor mama, I don't wanna fly
Well, I don't wanna be a failure mama, I don't wanna cry
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier mama, I don't wanna die
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know, I need someone
Help
(When)
When I was younger, so much younger than today (I never needed)
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now)
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured (and now I find)
Now I find, I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you, please, please help me?
(Now)
And now my life has changed in, oh, so many ways (my independence)
My independence seems to vanish in the haze (but)
But every now and then I feel so insecure (I know that I)
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you, please, please help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now)
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured (and now I find)
Now I find, I've changed my mind, I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you, please, please help me?
Help me, help me

Every man has a woman who loves him,
In rain or shine or life and death,
If he finds her in this lifetime,
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast,
Why do I roam when I know you're the one,
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying,
Every woman has a man who loves her,
Rise or fall of her life and death,
If she finds him in this life time,
She will know when she looks into his eyes,
Why do I roam when I know you're the one,
Why do I run when I feel like holding you,
Every man has a woman who loves him,
If he finds her in this lifetime,
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Ooh, she does
Yes, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Ooh, she do me
Yes, she does
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last?
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
And from the first time that she really done me
Ooh, she done me
She done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh, she done me
She done me good
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
Better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared
Don't be shy
Don't be shy
Don't be shy to tell
You may lose the chance to tell
Don't be shy
When your hearts are lit
Drop your survival kit
Then you never have to
Run or split
Sun in the east
Moon in the west
This boat's moving slow
There's no land in sight at all
Away we go
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
It's better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared
"Hello!"
Doo, doo, doo-doo
Well, do you wanna dance, hold my hand?

Beep! Beep!
Wow!
We don't care what flag you're waving
We don't even want to know your name
We don't care where you're from or where you're going
All we know is that you came
You're making all our decisions
We have just one request of you
That while you're thinking things over
Here's something you just better do
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Well we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't despair paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
We understand your paranoia
But we don't want to play your game
You think you're cool and know what you are doing
666 is your name
So while you're jerking off each other
You better bear this thought in mind
Your time is up you better know it
But maybe you don't read the signs
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Free the people now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Well you were caught with your hands in the kill
And you still got to swallow your pill
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed
Stop the killing (Free the people now)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Stop the killing (Free the people now)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Bring on the lucie
If you ever,
Change your mind
About leaving,
Leaving me behind
Oh, you better bring it to me,
Bring your sweet loving,
Bring it on home to me
yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I laughed,
Laughed when you left
But now I know,
I only hurt myself
Oh, you better bring it to me,
Bring your sweet loving,
Bring it on home to me
yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
Oh, you better bring it to me,
Bring your sweet loving,
Bring it on home to me,

You know I'll always,
Be your slave
Till I'm dead,
And buried in my grave
Oh, you better bring it me,
Bring your sweet loving,
Bring it on home to me,
yeah, yeah
Send me some loving,
Send it I pray
How can I love you,
When you're so far away
Send me your picture,
Send it my dear
So I can hold it,
And pretend you are near
Send me your kisses,
I can feel your touch
I need you, I need you so bad,
Don't you know I miss you so much
My days are so lonely,
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely,
Just waiting for you
Written by John Lennon
Even after all these years,
I miss you when your not here,
I wish you were here my dear Yoko,
Even if it's just a day,
I miss you when your away,
I wish you were here today dear Yoko,
Even if it's just one night,
I miss you and it don't feel right,
I wish you were here tonight dear Yoko,
Even if it's just an hour,
I wilt just like a fading flower,
Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko,
Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Even when I'm miles at sea,
And nowhere is the place to be,
Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko,
Even when I watch T.V.
There's hole where your supposed to be,
There's nobody lying next to me,
Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Even after all this time,
I miss you like the sun don't shine,
Without you I'm a one track mind dear Yoko,
After all is really said and done,
The two of us are really one,
Temperatures rising
Fever is high
Cant see no future
Cant see no sky
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run
My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Cant see no body
Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open
Cant get to sleep
One thing Im sure of
Im in at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again
Oh Ill be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me on the run
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
We're born in a prison
Raised in a prison
Sent to a prison called school
We cry in a prison
We love in a prison
We dream in a prison like fools
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
We live with no reason
Kicked around for no reason
Thrown out without reason like tools
We work in a prison
And hate in a prison
And die in a prison as a rule
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
We live in a prison
Among judges and wardens
And wait for no reason for you
We laugh in a prison
Go through all four seasons
And die with no vision of truth
Wood becomes a flute when it's loved
Reach for yourself and your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate
Be Bop A Lula
Well,
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby,
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll
She's the girl in the red-blue jeans,
She's the queen of all the teens,
She's the wo-woman that I know,
She's the woman that loves me so,
Say,
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby,
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll
She's the woman that's a-got that beat,
She's the woman with the flying feet,
She's the one that walks around the store,
She's the one who gets, more, more, more, more
Be bop a lula, she's my baby
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby,
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well
You know I love you baby, please don't go
Oh, you know I love you, honey child
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you right now
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well
You know I need you, honey, please don't go, well, well
You know I love you baby, please don't go
And you know I love you, honey child
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you right now
You know I love you, baby, please don't go
You know I want you, honey, please don't go, well
You know I want you baby, please don't go
You know I love you, honey child
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you right now
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well
You know I want you, honey, please don't go
You know I want you baby, please don't go
You know I want you, honey child
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you right now
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well
(Good night!
Good night, thank you!
Thank you
We'd like to thank Frank for having us on here
Yeah, he's great, isn't he? He's the greatest)
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient
'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
It's just the strangest thing
I've seen your face somewhere
An early evening dream
A past-life love affair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
In all my revelry
I thought I felt us there
A feather in my hand
A flower in your hair
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Do you know me at all?
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions
Of political prisoners in the world
Sister, there's a wind that never dies
Sister, we're breathing together
Sister, our love and hopes forever
Keep on moving, oh, so slowly in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything
But the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything
But equality
Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning
To your sisters and brothers in the world
Sister, you're still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million different races
But we all share the same future in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything
But the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything
But equality
Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions
Lyrics and Music by Herman Hupfeld;
1931 Warner Bros. Music Corp., ASCAP
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
I read the news today, oh, boy
About a lucky man who's made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights have changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today, oh, boy
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bad
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I saw the news today, oh, boy
Four-thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
#9 Dream
John Lennon
So long ago
Was it in a dream? Was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
It seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me
Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain
Two spirits dancing so strange
Ah! bwakawa pouss, pouss
Ah! bwakawa pouss, pouss
Ah! bwakawa pouss, pouss
Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, waht more can I say?
On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding
Ah! bwakawa pouss, pouss...
Forgive me my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness
Forgive me, if you could forgive me
Forgive me my little flower princess
For selfishness
Forgive me, forgive me
Well I know there is no way to repay you
Whatever it takes I will try to
The rest of my life I will thank you (thank you, thank you)
My little...
If you'll forgive me my little flower princess
Never too late unless you can't forgive...
Time is on our side
Let's not waste another minute
'Cause I love you my little friend
I really love you
Give me just one more chance
And I'll show you -- take up the dance
Where we left off
The rest of our life is the...my little
(I'm home)
When I'm down really yin
And I don't know what I'm doing
Aisumasen Yoko
All I had to do was call your name
And when I hurt you and cause you pain
Darling I promise I won't do it again
Aisumasen Yoko
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain
All that I know is just what you tell me
All that I know is just what you show me
When I'm down real sanpaku
And I don't know what to do
Aisumasen Yoko san
All I had to do was call your name
Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She gets me through this God awful loneliness
A natural high butterfly
Oh I, I need, need, need her
Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And, oh boy, you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat and forget who I am
I need, need, need, need, need her
Well, I was wonderin' how long this could go on, on and on?
Well, I thought, I could never be surprised
But could it be that I bit my own tongue?
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong
A bird of paradise
The sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind, she blew my mind
Think that I, I love, love, love, love, love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
My mummy's dead
I can't get through my head
Though it's been so many years
My mummy's dead
I can't explain
So much pain
I could never show it
Ah, remember this?
Why I must have been thirteen when this came out
Or was it fourteen? Or was it twenty-two?
I could have been twelve actually
Just because you left and said, goodbye
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darlin', I would rather let you go
Just because I want someone who's kind
With a heart as good and pure as mine
But maybe I am askin' for too much
Darlin', please don't ever break my heart
I know you think you're smart
Just runnin' around and breaking lovers hearts
Just because you left and said, goodbye, hey
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darlin', I would rather let you go
This is Dr. Winston O' Boggie saying goodnight
From record plant east, New York
We hope you had a swell time
Ev'rybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
Just because you left and said, goodbye
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
Even if my heart should tell me so
Darlin', I would rather let you go
Goodbye, so long
I was dreamin' of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out, babe
So, this is Christmas

Here we go again
Here we go again and again
Wond'rin' how it all began

Round and round we go

Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go again
Here we go again

So I say hello again
And nobody gives a damn
And nobody wants to hold your hand
Ev'ryone is an also-ran

Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here we go again

Round and round we go
Round and round we go
Here we go again
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While puttin' her down, we pretend that she's above us
You know, woman is the nigger of the world, yeah
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slave
Ah, yeah, if you believe me, scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her, home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Well, now, woman is the nigger of the world, yeah, she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slave
Yeah, if you believe me, you better scream
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
This is the one that I can never remember
But you get the message anyway
You know that woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is, if you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slave
Yeah, Connely was right, we scream it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
You know, we make her paint her face and dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
In the morning, wanna die
In the evening, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die, yeah, wanna die
If I ain't dead already

Fun and laughter for all, honky rock
A one, two, a one, two, three, four
If you knew, Peggy Sue
Then you'd know why I feel blue
About Peggy, my Peggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you, girl
Yes, I love you, Peggy Sue
Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, Peggy Sue

Oh, Peggy, my, Peggy Sue
Oh, well, I love you, girl
And I want you, Peggy Sue
This is a story about your friend and mine
Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk
Your mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all, hey
Steel and glass, steel and glass
Steel and glass, steel and glass
Your phone don't ring, no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall? Hey
Well, your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied, hey, hey
Well, your teeth are clean but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat, hey
Steel and glass, steel and glass
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling, stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling, stand by me
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, yeah! Scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag, ho!
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag
Scumbag, scumbag
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
As the years roll away
And the price that I paid
And the straws slips away
You don't have to suffer
It is what it is
No bell, book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh, no
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
I'm scarred, uh, huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just wanna stay alive
You don't have to worry
In Heaven or Hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess, I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't wanna see the red, raw meat
The green eyed, goddamn straight from your heart
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin' stone
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die for and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one
Woke up this morning, blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it
After all is said and done you can't go pleasin' everyone
So screw it
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out, baby
I'm stepping out
Baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed
Ain't nothing doing on TV, summer repeats
Put on my space suit, I got to look my best
I'm going out to do the city
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out, babe
I'm stepping out, boogie
I'm stepping out
Hold it down
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta get out
I'm stepping out, babe
Just a while
Ain't been out for days
Gotto do it tonight
Gimme a break, gimme a break
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Just for a while, just for the night
