John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founder members of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Together with Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to raising his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.

Plot
In 1964 a reluctant John Lennon is persuaded by manager Brian Epstein to meet Freddie, the father who abandoned him 17 years earlier, with the press in attendance. The meeting is short and bitter. Three years later Epstein is dead and John invites Freddie to his mansion but again things turn sour, due to Freddie's drinking and insulting Mimi, the aunt who raised John. The Beatles set up Apple records but the press are hostile and Lennon's comment that 'we're more popular than Jesus' doesn't help. Rows with long-suffering wife Cynthia lead to marital breakdown and John's meeting Japanese performance artist Yoko Ono. Family history is repeated as Lennon leaves Cynthia and their son Julian for Ono, by whom he has a second son, Sean. In 1969 John returns his M.B.E. in protest at England's support for the Vietnam War while his stunts with Yoko Ono to promote peace alienate the press. Some months later he disbands the Beatles to the other members' annoyance and, after arguments with Paul McCartney, sees a therapist, who regresses him to the day Freddie left him. He learns that Freddie needs his help to write a biography, leading to one last showdown between father and son.

A Hilarious Rock Comedy
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
A soul full of anger - but nothing to show
A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go
Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know
Don't turn around - don't turn around
Torn between lovers - both mothers as well
A mind a prison - a heart in a cell
If only the screams could be heard from this hell
Don't turn around - don't turn around
You were surprised by a girl in the sky
who changed everyone
And as your life became so mystified
There was a lonely heart - left by the side
Tomorrow could never be just one more day
Confused by an image - refusing to stay
The child in your mind always wanted its way
Don't turn around - don't turn around
Then on a day in your life
still remembered by everyone
There was a man with a gun at his side
You and your monkey had nowhere to hide
He was the man that was sent from the rye
Don't turn around - don't turn around
So many things on his mind
I'm not sure if he knew
Why he blew you away
I can't decide if it's true
What he thought on that day
Don't be afraid when the day turns to night
Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights
Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight
They say life begins at 40
Age is just a state of mind
If all that's true
You know that I?ve been dead for 39
And if life begins at 40
Well, I hope it ain't the same
It's been tough enough without that stuff
I don't wanna to be born again
Well, I tried to sweep the slate clean
With a new broom every day
If that don't work
I'll jerk around until my next birthday
Yeah, life begins at 40
Age is just a state of mind
Well, if all that's true
You know that I?ve been dead for 39
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?
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
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Just one kiss, kiss will do
Why death? Why life?
Warm hearts, cold darts
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
I'm bleeding inside
It's a long, long story to tell
And I can only show you my hell
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
Just one touch, touch will do
Why me? Why you?
Broken mirror, white terror
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love
I'm shaking inside
It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell
Ringing in my soul
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling
It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere
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

Written by John Lennon
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?
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

(Alright Boys, this is it, over the hill)
One, two, three, four...
We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even wanna 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,
It's something you just better do:
Free the people now,
Do it, 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.
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
We don't care what rules you're playing,
We don't even want to play your game,
You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
and 666 is your name.
So while you're jerking off each other,
You bear this thought in mind,
Your time is come - you better know it,
But maybe you just can't read the sign.
Free the people now
Do it, 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 now
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, now
Do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it...
ok...
and two and three and four, hey!
Hold on, hold on!
Well, it?s one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go cat, go
But don?t you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes
You can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name
All over the place
Do anything
That you want to do
But uh, uh, honey
Lay off of them shoes
Don?t you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes
You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
Do anything
That you want to do
But uh, uh, honey
Lay off of them shoes
Don?t you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of them blue suede shoes
Well, blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes, hey
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes, yeah
Blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off of my blue suede shoes
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
...

Move over Ms. L.

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
My mummy's dead

Though it's been so many years
My mummy's dead

So much pain

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!
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
i'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.
Well, i've been across to the other side,
i've shown you ev'rything, i got nothing to hide.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What it is? What it is?
All i can show you is it's all show biz,
all i can tell you is it's all show biz.
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
i'll scratch your back and you knife mine.
Been across the water now so many times,
i've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away,
ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away.
What you say? What you say? What you say?
Well, i get up in the morning
and i'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!
Then i'm lying in the darkness
and i know i can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey,
nobody needs you when you're upside down.
Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday,
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs.
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something happening cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got.
They're starving back in China so finish what you got.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed
strange days indeed.
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner
and no one seems to lose.
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu.
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound.
There's a place for us in movies you just gotta stay around.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed
most peculiar
Mama.
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's Ufo's over New York and I ain't too surprised.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed
(Instrumental)
Love is real, real is love,
Love is feeling, feeling love,
Love is wanting to be loved.
Love is touch, touch is love,
Love is reaching, reaching love,
Love is asking to be loved.
Love is you,
You and me,
Love is knowing,
We can be.
Love is free, free is love,
Love is living, living love,

So long ago.
Was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know.
It seemed so very real,
seemed so real to me.
Took a walk down the street.
Through the heat whispered trees.
I thought I could hear.
Hear.
Hear.
Hear.
Somebody call out my name (John)
as it started to rain.
Two spirits dancing so strange...
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Dream, dream away.
Magic in the air.
Was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe.
More I cannot say.
What more can I say?
On a river of sound.
Through 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! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
Ah! Bowakawa, pousse pousse
So this is Christmas,
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one's just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
Chorus:
A very merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
Chorus (2x)
And, so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And, so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
Chorus (4x)
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas!
The food is cold
Your eyes are cold
The window's cold
The bed's cold
Give me something that's not cold, come on, come on
Give me something that's not cold, come on, come on
Give me something that's not cold, come on, come on
Give me, give me, give me
The chair's hard
Your voice is hard
The money's hard
The living's hard
Give me something that's not hard, come on, come on
Give me something that's not hard, come on, come on
Give me something that's not hard, come on, come on
Give me, give me, give me
I'll give you my heartbeat
And a bit of tear and flesh
It's not very much but while it's there

In the world's eye
We were Laurel and Hardy
In our minds
We were Heathcliff and Cathy
In a moment of wisdom
We were a wizard and a witch
In a moment of freedom
We were Don Quijote and Sancho
In reality
We were just a boy and a girl
Who never looked back
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
How do I tell you

How can I tell you

And frogs that turn into prince, we believe in moons that smile to us
When we hurry home before midnight strikes

And we're so happy every day
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us
Tra, la, la, la, la
I'm in your pocket, you're in my locket
And we're so lucky in every way
We make a wish, and let it come true for us
Tra, la, la, la, la
We believe in houses built in the sky
And love that lifts us high, we believe in sun that looks over our
Shoulders and brings our shadows together
Tra, la, la, la, la
Yes, our hearts are one
Our bodies too, and it's so good every time
We make a wish and let it come true for you too
Tra, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday, my love
I'm your angel, I'll give you everything
In my magic power, so make a wish
And I'll let it come true for you

>From Liverpool to Tokyo
What a way to go
>From distant lands one woman one man
Let the four winds blow
Three thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sun
Love has opened my eyes
Love has blown right through
Wherever you are, you are here
Three thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of surprising sun
East is east and west is west
The twain shall meet
East is west and west is east
Let it be complete
Three thousand miles over the ocean
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me
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
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head,i'm still yawning.
When I 'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed float up stream.
Please don't wake me,no don't shake me,
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping.
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy. I don't mind,
I think they're crazy.
Running everywhere at such a speed.
Till they find,there's no need.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm on my way.
And after all, I'm only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window,
Taking my time,lying there and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for the sleepy feeling.
Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away.
And after all, I'm only sleeping.
Keeping an eye on the world going by my window.
Taking my time,when I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head,i'm still yawning.
When I'm in the middle of a dream,stay in bed,float
Up stream.
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me, leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping.
You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
You broke my heart
When you said, "We part"
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
Boogie, babe
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
Look out
Farewell, goodbye
Although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
You're the one to blame
Boogie, babe
Ain't that a shame?
Ain't that a shame?
You made me cry
When you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame?
#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...
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, You know I need someone
Help
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never thought I needed any help in any way
Now that these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
And now I find I changed my mind, opened up the door, so
Help me if You can, I'm feelin' down
And I do appreciate You bein' 'round, You know I do
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't You please, please help me, help me, help me?
Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won
Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won
Ha da doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo doo
Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over
And dear John
Put the TV on, have a snack
Wash your mother's back
The race is over
Well, I don't wanna be a soldier, mama, I don't wanna die

All you need to do
Is to say this little word
I know it sounds absurd
But it's true
The magic's in the mantra
We'll give you all the answers
So swallow this
That's all you've got to do
Everything you need is here
And everything that's not here
Is not there
And yet there's something missing
In this God almighty plan
Could it be you need a woman?
Well all you need to do
Is to say this little word
I know it sounds absurd
But it's true
The magic's in the mantra
We'll give you all the answers
So swallow this
That's all you've got to do
But still
You're so suicidal
Something is wrong
This can't be it
Something is wrong
Something is wrong
Something is wrong
Something is wrong
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
How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of?
Oh no, oh no
How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough
How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Oh no, oh no
You know life can be long
You've got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough
How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Hold on John, John hold on
It's gonna be alright
You gonna win the fight
Hold on Yoko, Yoko hold on
It's gonna be alright

When you're by yourself
And there's no-one else
You just tell yourself

Hold on world, world hold on
It's gonna be alright
You gonna see the light
When you're one
Really one
You get things done
Like they never been done
So hold on

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you, you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you've gone you're just another day
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep?
How do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
How do you sleep?
It's just like Heaven being here with you
You're like an angel too good to be true
But after all, I love you, I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
I love you, I do
No one can love you like I do
When you are near me my heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on my own two feet
Because I love you, I love you, I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
I love you, I do
No one can love you like I do
Please, never leave me blue and alone
If you ever go I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you, I love you, I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
I love you, I do
No one can love you like I do
Do the Oz, do the Oz

Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
i'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.
Well, i've been across to the other side,
i've shown you ev'rything, i got nothing to hide.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What it is? What it is?
All i can show you is it's all show biz,
all i can tell you is it's all show biz.
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
i'll scratch your back and you knife mine.
Been across the water now so many times,
i've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away,
ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away.
What you say? What you say? What you say?
Well, i get up in the morning
and i'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!
Then i'm lying in the darkness
and i know i can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey,
nobody needs you when you're upside down.
Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday,
ev'rybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
So, this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
(La la la) (La la la) (La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Without you I'd be all alone (La la la)
Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
I keep hearin'
That the end is nearin'
Every other week there's another villian
John Lennon tried to help stop the killin'
The sorry thing is that nobody listened
The city and country they divided
They pointin' their fingers
Their callin' each other liars
And it's ashame
Traded on Jesus' name
And since the ages of Abel and Cain
Pleasure and pain
Heroin and cocaine
The father's insane
The son is kinda strange
The self inflicted shotgun blast
These croked politicians
They ordering the killin' of
Of innocent civilians
They build another prison
For the children to fill them
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone
(La la la) Say without you I'd be all alone

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?

You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little toys,
Your eyes have seen the world,
Though your only four years old,
And your tears are streaming,
Even when your smiling,
Please never be afraid to cry,
You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little ploys,
Your mind has changed the world,
And your now forty years old,
You got all you can carry,
And still somehow empty,
Don't ever be afraid to fly,
All you beautiful boys,
Creating multiple plays,
You like to fence in your world,
And settle down when you're old,
You can run from pole to pole,
And never scratch your soul,
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Yeah
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Got to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bone
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, oh
Well, I told her mama and her papa, too
Just exactly what I'm gonna do
We're gonna get married on a night in June
Rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon
Well, yeah
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, hey
Huh hey, hey, hey
Well, she's my one and only, she's my hearts desire
She's a real up setter, she's a real live wire
Everybody's watching when my baby walks by
She's so good looking, really catches the eye
Huh oh
Let 'em in
Well, now I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
Yeah, yeah, underneath the apple
Making love, yeah
Making love, making love, harder
Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless spirits depart
Still we're deep in each other's hearts
Some people say it's over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year's echo
Bless you whoever you are
Holding her now, be warm and kind hearted
And remember though love is strange
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
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 for your battered mates
Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken
Look in the mirror and see your shattered fate

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,
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,
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
I had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It's good to be alive
And when I'm deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It's then I realize it's only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
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
There are places I 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 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 love you more
In my life I love you more
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right in the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon your gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of?
Laughing in the face of love
What on Earth you tryna do?
It's up to you, yeah, you
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right in the face
You better get yourself together darling
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see?
Laughing at fools like me
Who on Earth do you think you are?
A superstar? Well, right you are
And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Everyone, c'mon
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Everyone you meet
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on Earth are you there
When you're everywhere
Gonna get your share
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
C'mon and on and on, on, on
Yeah, yeah, alright
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
On and on and on, on and on
And we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on
Like the moons and the stars and the sun
Yeah, we all shine on

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
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
Listen, the snow is falling over town
Listen, the snow is falling everywhere
Between Empire State building
And between Trafalgar Square
Listen, the snow is falling over town
Listen, the snow is falling over town
Listen, the snow is falling everywhere
Between your bed and mine
Between your head and my mind
Listen, the snow is falling over town
Between Tokyo and Paris
Between London and Dallas
Between your God and mine
Listen, the snow is falling everywhere
Snow, dream
Snowfall
Snow, fly
Listen
Listen
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
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

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
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
Well, it was Sunday Bloody Sunday
Oh, when they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs filled the free derry air
Is there any one amongst you, dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lids
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
When you claim to be majority, well, you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority on this sweet emerald isle
When Stormont bans our marches, they've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer, it's those mothers turn to burn
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Oh, you Anglo pigs and Scotties, sent to colonize the north
You wave your bloody Union Jack and you know what it's worth
How dare you hold to ransom, a people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the Irish put the English back to sea
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day, alright
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Well, it's always Bloody Sunday in the concentration camps
Keep falls road free forever from the bloody English hands
Repatriate to Britain, all of you who call it home
Leave Ireland to the Irish, not for London or for Rome
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday is the day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
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 all right
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 I know I mean a 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
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
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands
Goddamn, goddamn
If you could keep voices like flowers
There'd be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
In the 'Pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of old Ireland
If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like Galway Bay
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would be one big Blarney stone
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids and the IRA
As the bastards commit genocide
Aye, genocide
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
Wish, you'd wish you was English instead
Standing in the dock at Southampton
Trying to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac said, ?You've got to 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 going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say, ?You can make it O.K.
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 going to crucify me
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The news people 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 going to crucify me
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said, ?Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you but your soul, think!?
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake 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 going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns 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 going to crucify me
The way things are going
They're going to crucify me
They're really rocking in Boston Deep in the heart of Texas On down the Frisco Bay All over Saint Louis In Philadelphia PA And down in New Orleans All the cats want to dance with Sweet little sixteen Sweet little sixteen She's just got to have Framed autopraphs About half a million Her wall is filled with pictures She gets them one by one Becomes so excited Oh mommy mommy Oh watch her at the run boy Somebody steal the show Please may I go You know it's such a sight to see I beg of you Please say it to mommy Oh daddy daddy It's alright with you Sweet little sixteen She's got the grown up blues She's sporting in high heeled boots Tight dresses and lipstick Oh but tomorrow morning She'll have to change her trend Become sweet sixteen And back in class again In Philadelphia PA On down in New Orleans They're really rocking in Boston Deep in the heart of Texas And down the Frisco Bay All over Saint Louis All the cats want to dance with sweet little sixteen
No bed for Beatle John!
Beatle John Lennon lost his hospital bed yesterday to a patient
It happened at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London
Where John was keeping vigil in the room
Where his girlfriend, Yoko Ono
Is being kept under observation
When he realized his bed was needed for an urgent case
John sent out for a sleeping bag
And last night
He was once more happily kicked out alongside Yoko
In the sleeping bag
Yoko who expects her baby next February
Will remain in the hospital for another few days
A Beatles spokesman said
There is a good chance for the baby's survival
The Beatles win battle of the nude LP!
The Beatles have won their fight to put out an LP record
With a sleeve showing John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the nude!
EMI, the world's biggest recording company
Whose artists includes the Beatles
Refused to handle the LP called 'Two Virgins'
Because of the sleeve
So did the group's American outlet, Capitol Records
But the record with its controversial sleeve
Will be released in both countries next month
An official of The Beatles Apple company said last night
The sleeve has not been censored or altered in any way
We are pleased it is being distributed
But it may be that some record shops
Will still refuse to handle it
The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go
So won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
I'll make you happy, baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you 'til eternity
So won't you, please?
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
So come on and be
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my little baby
(My one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darlin'
(Be my, be my baby)
Be my baby now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa oh oh oh
Be my, be my baby
(Be my little baby)
My one and only baby
Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby
Be my, be my baby
My one and only baby
Be my, be my baby
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
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
To know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her
Everyone said there'll come a day
When I, I'll walk alongside of her
Yeah, just to know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her
You know that I do, you know that I do
Yeah, 'an I do, oh, I do
Why, why can't she see
How, how blind can she be?
Someday she'll see
That she was meant just for me, oh yes
To know, know, know her
Is to love, love, love her
Just, just to see her smile
Makes my life worthwhile
Yeah, just to know, just to know her
You know is to love, love, love, love her
You know that I do, you know that I do
Yeah, I do
Two, three, four!
Yeah, we're rock and roll people, born to pick the news
Yeah, we're rock and roll people
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to
Don't tell me where your head is, man
I can see your shinin' shoes
Don't play the Virgin Mary
We all know you've been screwed
Rock and roll people, born to be the news
Yeah, we're rock and roll people
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to
My father was a mother
My mother was a son
Don't play the dog for dinner
We all been twenty-one
We're rock and roll people, born to be the news
Yeah, we're rock and roll people
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to
Don't ask me what the time is
Or how much space I need
Don't play the Mona Lisa
You'll know where she's been
Well, rock and roll people, born to be the news
Yeah, we're rock and roll people
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to
Sweet, sweet rock and roll
Sweet, sweet rock and roll
Sweet, sweet rock and roll
Sweet, sweet rock and roll
Sweet, sweet rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Uh huh, uh
Hey!
Two, three, four!
We're the rock and roll people, born to pick the news
Yeah, we're rock and roll people
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to
Don't ask me where your head is, man
I can see your shinin' shoes
Don't play the Virgin Mary
We all know you've been screwed
Well, rock and roll people, born to pick the news

Okay!
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who 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 had 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, got out of bed
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
Ahh, ahh, ahh
I read 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
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives
Shoot the prisoners in the towers
Forty-three poor widowed wives
Attica, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Media blames it on the prisoners
But the prisoners did not kill
Rockefeller pulled the trigger
That is what the people feel
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Free the prisoners, jail the judges
Free all prisoners everywhere
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
They all live in suffocation
Let's not watch them die in sorrow
Now's the time for revolution
Give them all a chance to grow
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Come together join the movement
Take a stand for human rights
Fear and hatred clouds our judgment
Free us all from endless night
Attica State, Attica State
We're all mates with Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
We all live in Attica State
Attica State, Attica State
(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)
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
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
Don't be afraid
It's just the wind and light
Don't be afraid
This house is very strange
In the morning we'll be gone, don't be afraid
We'll watch the dawn till the sun comes up
Drinking coffee from our favorite cup
Girl, you've been good to me, so don't be afraid tonight
Don't be afraid
It's just the cats at play
Don't be afraid
They do it night and day, very strange
They've gone by the morning, so don't be afraid of me
We'll dream around till the dawn comes up
Drinking coffee from our favorite cup
Girl, you've been good to me, don't be afraid tonight
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Mr. Hyde, he's really gone away
Won't be back till next full moon
So we can bill and spoon
In June and croon, bewoon, bewoon, be
Can you stand it?
Don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oh, she does, yeah, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do
Oh, she do, yeah, she does
Don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And 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
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And from the first time that she really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
Don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down
And don't let me down

(Alright Boys, this is it, over the hill)
One, two, three, four...
We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even wanna 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,
It's something you just better do:
Free the people now,
Do it, 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.
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
We don't care what rules you're playing,
We don't even want to play your game,
You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
and 666 is your name.
So while you're jerking off each other,
You bear this thought in mind,
Your time is come - you better know it,
But maybe you just can't read the sign.
Free the people now
Do it, 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 now
Stop the killing now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, now
Do it, do it, do it, do it now
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it...
ok...
and two and three and four, hey!
Okay, Yoko
peace -
peace -
let's hope for peace,
let's hope for peace,
peace -
let's hope for peace,
peace -
let's hope for peace.
(peace, peace, peace, peace...)
Peace -
let's hope for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!)
Peace -
let's hope for peace,
peace -
let's hope for peace.
Oh, John, let's hope for peace
for our children,
for our country,
for our world,
for our future,
oh, John, let's hope for peace,
let's hope for peace.
Peace -
peace, peace,
let's hope for peace.
Oh, John -
peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. Everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor square marches in london. The end product of it was just newspaper stories about riots and fightings. And we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them. And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment with their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning for thousands of years. They know how to play the game violence and it's easier for them when they can recognise you and shoot you. They don't know how to handle humour, peaceful humour and that's our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
John: haven't a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. That's why we're trying to do it. In other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that, that's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and nobody has really tried it, you see. And that's what we're trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?
John: how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?
John: i'd die of fright.
Yoko: i don't think that should happen. You talk as if something's going to happen aside of us. We are all in this you see. We are all in the same society and in the same world and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. Like any violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in the world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. So we share everything, so that's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during the second world war? Don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible than the others?
John: no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. No. The whole world, if the whole world was really aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you know, well, which is almost impossible, i'm sure, but as much as possible and if the whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, i'm sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time before they made any decision about what to do. I'm not quite sure of the facts, you know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier, but they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money, their territory.
Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I don't think so because...
Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I think i was out talking to one of the austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack anybody else. They were always on the defensive side, i don't know whether that's true.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, that's bad, i agree that silence is bad. But i mean there isn't one european country that hasn't had its hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what they did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. So that's why we're here. We want to talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people who are going to be the next generation. They're going to be the next world, you know, and we just want to say we are with them. We're not preaching or anything like that. We want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just
announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work for the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is the best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything, all the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going to be bad, you know. And it will be exactly like you said. One morning, we find in the newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: i agree with you, but don't you see, i mean, it's a fact that by through your behaviour, i think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get suspicious. They don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a tablecloth protesting against wars. They don't think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay, go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. In a way, we're saying we want peace and we're staying in bed for peace, but i'm as violent as the next man, and i'm sure Yoko is just as violent just as well. We're violent people, you know. I prefer myself when i'm non-violent. I prefer me friends when they're non-violent. It just makes for easier living and if we have to have violence, let's channel it, you know. I don't know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. But i don't want to be involved in their violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. You can just go out in the street now and take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you see. Just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would, because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do, but look at John and Yoko they're doing worse, so i can do it, you know. That's all we're trying to do, you see.
Questioner: so you're putting courage, also, into the world?
John: we hope so.
Yoko: i hope so.
John: okay.
Stay in bed!
John: look there's a fly flitting around. Just makes you laugh.
Yoko: what time is it?
John: what's the time?
Yoko: what?
John: 9:30.good morning. I was saying about bagism,you see, you get in this bag and you jump out the window. Next thing you know, you got a policeman on your head. You want tea?
Yoko: you know what i want, John?
John: what; what, what, what. Oh, give us a chance! You want one before i do. Yes, our name got round a lot. Could i have room service, please. Do you want toast?
Yoko: just tea. Which do you want, coffee or tea?
John: tea.
Yoko: tea.
John: two tea's please. Yeah, 902 and some toast. Yeah, brown toast.
Good morning. Yeah, yeah. I know and some toast. Brown toast. Yeah. Thank you. Bye, bye.
Alright then....
John: hello, dog. It's beautiful no, no, no. It'll just take a lot of looking after. Well think about you, amsterdam. It's a lovely dog, huh.
Yoko: yes, it's lovely.
John: thank you very much.
Visitor: here you are.
John: thank you. You gonna take him off me now'!
Visitor: yeah, if you don't mind. Thank you very much.
John: i thought you were giving
visitor: bye, bye. Bye, bye. No, no.
John: i sort of was under that impression. She gave us the dog and then went away. Very nice.
Yoko: it's rather sort of really swinging though. Don't you think so?
John: the thought of the long haired beatle in the 19th century sanctuary. Please stop this nonsense. Go home. We don't like people like you. Go to a doctor to be normal, you get this? Go to a doctor to be normal. We're seeing a psychiatrist today, so maybe he'll fix us up then. Bloody marvellous. We don't get through on some level, as you notice. Was under marijuana. Beautiful, beautiful. Keep smoking. Nothing illegal beautiful, beautiful. Hey, those kids are as hard as the real press.
Yoko: yes, amazing.
John: amazing. They're just as tough as the real press. Very sexy. It's a boy, it's a boy.
Questioner: why are you staying in bed for 7 days?
John: ah, because...
Questioner: well, first of all, let me say congratulations on your marriage and that in dutch is gefiliciteerd met je getrouw.
John: oh, dank u wel, oh, chocolat!
Questioner: how about explaining this mission you are on at this moment!
John: well, you start...
Yoko: well, because we thought of this idea about staying in bed for 7 days for protest against violence in the world.
Questioner: did you think of its geographical situation as being the centre of europe?
John: no, i didn't realise, is it? Oh, fantastic! It was magic then, you see, cause the way...
Questioner: well, they call it the centre of europe. It's an advertising campaign for an airline.
John: okay, well give us a free ticket and we'll be all right.
Various people: stand up! Bend over towards us.Stand up on your knees, maybe. Turn up, turn up on your knees.As soon as we can ......(unhearable) ....but we need you here

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've 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

People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing.
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin.
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kinda strange.
"Surely, your not happy now, you no longer play the game."
People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinda of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall.
"Don't you miss the big time, boy. You're no longer on the ball."
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round.
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the merry-go-round.
I just had to let it go.
Ahhh...People ask me questions, lost in confusion.
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions.
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind.
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round.
I really love to watch them roll.
No longer riding on the marry-go-round.
I just had to let it go.
I just had to let it go.

Woman, I can hardly express my mixed emotions and my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt. And woman,
I will try to express my inner feelings and thankfulness
for showing me the meaning of success.
Ooh, well, well, doo doo doo doo doo.
Ooh, well, well, doo doo doo doo doo
Woman, I know you understand the little child inside a of man.
Please remember, my life is in your hands, and woman,
hold me close to your heart. However distant don't keep us apart.
After all it is written in the stars.
Ooh, well ...
Woman, please let me explain. I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again :
I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah, now and forever.
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
There may not be much difference
Between Chairman Mao and Richard Nixon
If we strip them naked
There may not be much difference
Between Marilyn Monroe and Lenny Bruce
If we check their coffins
There may not be much difference
Between White House and Hall of People
If we count their windows
There may not be much difference
Between Raquel Welch and Jerry Rubin
If we hear their heartbeat
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
There may not be much difference
Between Eldrige Cleaver and Queen of England
If we bottle their tears
There may not be much difference
Between Manson and the Pope
If we press their smile
There may not be much difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing
There may not be much difference
Between you and me
If we show our dreams
We're all water from different rivers
That's why it's so easy to meet
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate together
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
There's no difference!
There's no difference!

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

By neurotic, psychotic
Pig headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard
Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap
It's money for dope, money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard
Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap
It's money for dope, money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending
Mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now
I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric
Paranoiac, prima-donas
All I want is the truth now, now
Just gimme some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied
Son of Tricky Dick is gonna Mother Hubbard
Soft soap me with just a pocketful of soap
It's money for dope, money for rope
Ah, I'm sick to death of hearing things

Narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

Written by Yoko Ono
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,
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When you rock and roll
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzy
When we do the stroll
Come on, Miss Lizzy
Love me before I grow too old
Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine, baby

Here in this lonely room
Late in the afternoon
Dreaming my life away
Don't answer the telephone
I'm not home receiving you
Here in the afternoon
Alone in some stranger's room
What am I doing here at all?
No need to overdo it
I'm bleeding now
I'm bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now
Oozing out
Dripping down
Table's silent shout
Stop the bleeding now
Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
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
Here come ol' flat top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker 'cause he's so hard to please
He wear no shoeshine, he got walrus gum boot
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together, right now, over you
He bag production, he got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker, he got early walkers
He say, "Hair, belief, under his knee"
Hold you in his arms 'til you can feel his disease
Come together, right now, over me
He roller coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say, "One and one, and one is three"
Got to be good lookin' 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together, right now
Over me, over you, over there
Come together, come together
Come together, come together

She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Got to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bone
Huh
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, oh

Just exactly what I'm gonna do
We're gonna get married on a night in June
Rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon
Well, yeah
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we're gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree, hey

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
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
You can comb your hair and look quite cute
You can hide your face behind a smile
One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives
Nine lives to itself but you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun, mama take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives
Nine lives to itself but you only got one

And nowhere is the place to be,
Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko,

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,

The two of us are really one,
"Hello!"
Doo, doo, doo-doo
Well, do you wanna dance, hold my hand?

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

Brought you here
Brought you through the sorrow
And the tears
C'est la, c'est la, c'est la vie
Sail upon the ocean, sail with me
Sail into the moment every day
Sail it to the sunshine through the haze
The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees

When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair

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

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
Here we go again
Here we go again and again
Wond'rin' how it all began
Wond'rin' will it ever end
Round and round we go

Though I know we've been this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go again
Here we go again
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
Round and round we go

Though I know we've seen this place before
Someone keeps on moving the door
Here we go again

And so dear friends
You just have to carry on
Oh my love, for the first time in my life

Oh my love, for the first time in my life
My mind can feel

Everything is clear in my heart

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

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
Sanity

Let go, let go, cut it out!
Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
It's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come, yeah
Oh oh oh oh, old dirt road
Ain't no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah
Breezing through the deadwood on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay
I said, "Uh, hey Mr. Human can ya rainmaker too?"
He said, "I guess it's okay ya know the only thang we need is water
Cool, clear water, water, water, water"
Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
Better than a mudslide mamma when the morning comes, yeah
Oh oh oh oh, old dirt road
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
So long, so long, bye bye, bye bye, keep on keeping on

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
Two, three, four
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well
Know I love you, baby, please don't go, well, well
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
Know I need you, baby, please don't go
You know I love you, baby, please don't go, well
You know I love you, honey child

Nothing that I wouldn't do for you right now
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
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
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
(Happy Xmas Kyoko

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 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
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 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,

Written by Yoko Ono
It's been very hard,
But it's getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,
The leaves are shining in the sun,
And smiling inside,
You and I watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by,
But we don't care,
We want to know,
We want to know in each other's eyes,
That hard times are over, over for sometime,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for a while,
It's been very rough,
But it's getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,
The streams are twinkling in the sun,
And I'm smiling inside,
You and I walking together 'round the street corner,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Okay start again silly boy, take four
All my little plans and schemes
Aren't like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all we really were doing
Was waiting for love
No need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes it's real
Yes it's real love
It's real
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
No need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love
Yes it's real
Yes it's real love
It's real
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
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
-"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"
-"oh!"
-"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
was you instead of the groceries.
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 all right?
All right, all right
You say you 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're all doing what we can
But if you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right?
All right, all right
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 better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right?
All right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right!

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?
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 what bore 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!

I want you to know now

But if he loves you more, go with him
All of my life, I've been searchin for a girl

Breaks my heart and leaves me sad

But the angel of destruction keeps on houndin' me all around
But I know in my heart
That we never really parted, oh no
They say the Lord helps those who helps themselves
So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind
'Cause I know deep inside I was never satisfied, oh no
Lord, help me, Lord
Please, help me, Lord, yeah yeah yeah
Help me to help myself
Help me to help myself
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
