From John Lennon Anthology (4 CD Boxed Set) (1998) by John Lennon

Working Class Hero (Lennon) - 4:21

As soon as your 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
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 despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

There's room at the top I'm 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
Working Class Hero is something to be

Yes , A Working Class Hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

God (Lennon) - 3:33

God is a Concept by which
We measure our pain
I'll say it again
God is a Concept by which
We measure our pain
Yes we do

I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in Tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in Kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me, Yoko and me, and that reality

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over

I Found out (Lennon) - 3:49

I told you before, stay away from my door
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother
No!
I found out!

Now that I showed you just what I've been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus don't 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 about my ma and my pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star
I found out!

Old Hare Krishna ain't got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with with pie in the sky
There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes
I found out!

I seen the junkies I've been through it all
I've seen religons from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
Can't do you no harm feel your own pain
I found out!

Hold on (Lennon) - 0:44

Hold on John, John hold on
It's gonna be alright
Hold on Yoko

Isolation (Lennon) - 3:47

People say we got it made don't they know we're so afriad
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone, everbody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
All the world is 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
your just a human, a victim of the insane

We're afrain of everyone, afraid of the sun
Isolation
The Sun will never disappear
But the world my not have many years
Isolation

Love (Lennon) - 2:46

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
Love is needed to be loved

Mother (Lennon) - 3:50

Goodbye, goodbye

Mother, you had me I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you but you didn't need me
So I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk so I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Remember (Lennon) - 2:46

This is the stiry, well

Remember when you were young
How the hero was never hung
Always got away

Remember 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 sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Remember, remember today

Imagine [Take 1] (Lennon) - 3:24

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religon too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Fortunately (Lennon) - 0:20

- "Yes, fortunately we both agree"
- "Unfortunately, not always."
- "In the end. I wonder what' gonna happen.""
- "Fortunately we dont know"

Oh My Love (Lennon) - 2:56

Oh my love for the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My eyes can see
I see the wind, oh i see the trees
Everything is clear in my heart
Isee the clouds, oh i see the sky
Everything is clear in our world
Oh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feel
I feel sorrow, oh i feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart
Everything is clear in our world
I feel life, oh i feel love

Jealous Guy (Lennon) - 4:12

I was dreaming of a past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt
I'm sorry that i made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling inscure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

Maggie Mae (Traditional, arranged by John Lennon) - 0:54

Oh, dirty maggie mae,
they have taken her away,
and she'll never walk down lime street any more.

Oh, the judge he guilty found her
of robbin' the homeward bounder,
that dirty, no good, robbin' maggie mae.

'Tis the part of liverpool
north of liverpool;
two pounds ten a week, that was my pay.
Oh, something down,

It'was down in kelly's pornshop, number nine.

Oh, dirty maggie mae,
they have taken her away,
and she'll never walk down lime street any more.

Oh, the judge he guilty found her

How Do You Sleep? (Lennon) - 5:22

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?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jum when your mamma tell you anything
The only thing you done was Yesterday
And since you've gone it's just Another Day
How do you sleep?
Ah 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 all those years
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

God Save Oz (Lennon, Ono) - 3:29

All we are saying is give peace a chance

And bye bye, bye byes.

New York City (Lennon) - 0:56

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!
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

Attica State [Live] (Lennon) - 4:28

What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives,
Shoot the prisioners in the towers
Forthy-three poor widowed wives

Media blames it on the prisioners,
But the prisioners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That’s what the people feel.

Attica, Attica state, we’re all mates with Attica state.

Free the prisioners, free the judges
Free all the prisioners everywhere,
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care

They all live in suffocation,
Let’s not wathc them die in sorrow,
Now’s the time for revolution,
Give them all chance to grow.

Attica state......

Come together join the movement,
Take a stand for human rights,
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement,
Free us all from endless night,

Attica state....
We are all mattes...
We all live in......
Attica, Attica, Attica state.

Imagine [Live] (Lennon) - 3:10

Bring on the Lucie (Freda People) (Lennon) - 4:08

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 desicions
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 now

Well we were caught with our hands in the air
Don't desapir paranoia is everywhere
We can shake it with love when we're scared
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer

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

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
Do it do it do it now
Bring on the Lucie

Woman Is the Nigger of the World (Lennon) - 0:39

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 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 is above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better screem about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother then
We tell her home is the only place she would 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)

We insult her everyday 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem 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

Giraldo Rivera - One to One Concert - 0:40

One sentence about the next act.

But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down
You got to eat
You got to drink
You got to feel something
You got to worry
It's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down
But when it's good it's oh so good
And when i hold you in arms baby
Sometimes i feel like going down
You got to run
You got to hide
You got to keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down

Come Together [Live] (Lennon) - 4:21

The Luck of the Irish [Live] (Lennon) - 3:42

If you have the luck of the irish,
You’d be sorry and wish you were dead
You shold 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 beutty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands! Goddman!
Goddman!

If you could keep voices like flowers
There’d be aharmock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams
like the 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, the death and the glory
And the poets of auld Eireland

If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like galeway Bay
Let’s walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would beone 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! Aye!
Genocide!

If you had the luck of the Irish
You should have the luck of the Irish
You’d be sorry and wish you were dead
And you’s wish you were english instead!
Yes you’d wish you was english instead!!

John Sinclair [Live] (Lennon) - 3:43

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?
Gotta, gotta...gotta set him free...

The David Frost Show - 0:54

-"We're just gonna... Welcome back, welcome back with John and Yoko, Yoko and John
This song is written by, the John Sinclair song, who wrote that song?
-"Ah, John Sinclair, I wrote this one. He spent two years in prison, virtually in isolation and solitary, in case he infiltrated the other prisoners or something. He didn't want any help for two years because he thought why bother, justice will let me out, my appeals will let me out......after two years he began to worry and he asked for some help. We went down, had a rally with 15.000 people. We weren't the only people there, Little Stevie Wonder, and Phil Ochs and Alan Ginsburg...a really big rally."
-"Big Stevie Wonder now!"
-"Big Stevie Wonder, yeah, and it was a beautiful show. Many people devoted their time to it and we came along, sang the songs we sang to you and this one, John Sinclair, which was the final one. By a stroke of good luck he was released on Monday.

One Day (At a Time) (Lennon) - 3:15

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
One day at a time is good for us two (you too)

I Know (Lennon) - 3:13

The years have passed so quickly,
one thing I understood:
I'm only learning tell the trees from wood.

And I know just how you feel,
and I know now what I have done.
And I know that I'm guilty, yes, I am,
but I never could read your mind.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday,
right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.
And I know what's coming down
and I know where it's coming from.
And I know it's getting better all the time
now we're sharing each others mind.
I know what I was missing,
but now my eyes can see.
Put myself in your place as you did for me.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday-hey,
right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.
Oooh - oh-oh-oh
No more cry, no more cryin'

I'm the Greatest (Lennon) - 3:28

When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool
My mama told me I was great

Then when I was teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great

And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me I was great

I was the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do
Is boogaloo, hey
I looked in the mirror
I saw my wife and kids
And you know what they told me I was great

Yes my name is Billy Shears
You know it has been for so many years
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do
I boogaloo, hey hey hey
I'm the greatest
And you better believe it baby
I'm the greatest in this world
In the next worlds and in any worlds

Alright, alright, alright...

Jerry Lewis Telethon - 2:01

-"John and Yoko, let's hear it! John Lennon, John Lennon, Yoko! Let's hear them, let's get a bow, John Lennon, John, Yoko!
(Audience) John! John! John! John!.....
-"John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John....I'll tell you what, Oh, cool it, cool it! I would suspect that John Lennon is probably one of the wisest showman I've ever met. He knows what he's doin'!
He did two things, he did two...shhhh! Please! He did two things tonight. He came here to help, one, I think this was the primary purpose of his visit. And, two, he meant to say something. I think he did both those things. He has split. Let's thank them very much!

A Kiss Is Just a Kiss (As Time Goes By) (Herman Hupfield) - 0:12

You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss
A fly is just a fly
Right, and we're together
A rose is a rose.

Real Love (Lennon) - 4:15

All my little plans and schemes
Lost 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 they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

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

Don't 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, yes it's real love...

You Are Here (Lennon) - 4:56

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
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
Three thousand light years from the land of the morning star

What You Got (Lennon) - 1:16

Don't wanna be a drag, everybody gotta bag
I know you know, 'bout the emperor's clothes

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Well it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up
Sunday morning I just gotta give it up
Come Monday momma and I just gotta run away
You know it's such a drag to face another day

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

You know the more it change, the more it stays the same
You gotta hang on in, you gotta cut the string

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know, you don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Nobody Loves You When You're Down and out (Lennon) - 5:39

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine

I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell 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
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine

I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

Shag on down to the union hall,
when the joint starts jumpin', I 'll have a ball.

Gonna rip it up,
gonna rock it up,

and ball the night.

Scared (Lennon) - 5:04

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

Steel and Glass (Lennon) - 4:48

(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

Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox) (Lennon) - 2:59

Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She get's 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

Bless You (Lennon) - 4:16

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
Now and forever our love will remain

Going Down on Love (Lennon) - 0:54

I don't want anything other than just strict following the bar, as it's written. The jumps on the letter A's in the breaks.
-".........?........"
Yeah, I do want 'em, I just don't want any fills from the guitars or anybody. Just play what you were playin'.
No "dee dee dum" or "dee dee doo" or "dee dee dee". We have enough of that goin' on.
Alright, just hold it to form."

Move Over Ms. L (Lennon) - 3:11

One, two, a one, two, three, four

Well now the underground and overjoyed they come on just the same
Don't wanna get too real man, just wanna play the game
I guess ya knew it all along we were just singing in the rain
Can't get hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet
And if it sinks, you know that all you really get is wet!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

Well now to err is something human and forgiving so divine
I'll forgive your trespasses, if you forgive me mine
Life's a deal, you knew it, when you signed the dotted line
They nail you to the paper, put a rope around your neck
And so we sing along, the boy stood on the burning deck!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

Well now momma poppa told me son you better watch your head
Your head is fulla snakes boy, you're better red than dead
They're starving back in China, that's what they always said!
Can't get head in the head shop, yer jeans are fulla crap
You're full of beans, you're in your teens, you lost your momma's road map!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

No need to over do it,

Stop the bleeding now,

Oozing out

Aghhh!…

Stop the bleeding now.

Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah yeah yeah

He said I guess it's O.K. ya know the only thing we need is water
Cool, clear water, water

No more weather on the old dirt road
Better than a mudslide mamma when the morning comes, yeah

Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
So long, so long
Bye bye

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,

Sean's Little Help (Lennon, McCartney) - 0:59

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.

- "Good"
- "That's my favourite song"
- "Very good"
- "Who was singing "I need somebody to love", you?
- "It was Ringo but Paul and I was singing with him."
- "What's this song called?"
- "What's it called? I've forgotten what it's called..."

What would you think if I sang out a song...

- "It's "sang out of tune"
- "Oh, "A Little Help From My Friends", that's what it's called!"

Serve Yourself (Lennon) - 3:50

You say you found Jesus Christ
he's the only one
you say you found Buddah
sittin' in the sun,
you say you found Mohammed
facin' to the east
you say you found Krishna
dancin' in the street.
Well, there's somethin' missin' in this god almighty stew
and it's your mother,
your mother, don't forget your mother, lad.
You gotta serve yourself
nobody gonna do it for you
you gotta serve yourself
nobody gonna do it for you
well, you may believe in devils and you may believe in laws
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 gotta serve yourself
ain't nobody gonna do it for you
you gotta serve yourself

So get right back here, it's in the bloody fridge!
God, when I was a kid, we didn't have stuff like this, T.V. Fuckin' dinners and all that crap!
You fuckin' kids, all fuckin' the same, want a fuckin' car now?

you say you've just found Buddah
and he's sittin' on his arse in the sun,
you say you found Mohammed
kneelin' on a bloody carpet, facin' east

you better get that straight into your fuckin' head!

You gotta serve yourself, you know that, who else is gotta do that for you
it ain't me, kid, I tell you that.

Well you may believe in Jesus
and you may believe in Marx
and you may believe in Marks and Spencers
and you may even believe in bloody woolworths
but there's something missin' in this whole bloody stew
and it's your mother, your poor bloody mother
she worked for you in the back bedroom
full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives
god, you can't forget that awful moment, you know
you should have been in the bloody war, lad, and you would know all about it
well, I'll tell you somethin',

It's still the same old story

well, there's something missin' in this god almighty stew
and it's your god damn mother, you dirty little git
now get in there and was your ears.

My Life (Lennon) - 2:37

My life, take it, it's mine to give.
Take it, let me live in you.
My life, take it, it's yours.
Do what you will, I dedicate it to you.

What's the use in waking
if you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way.
We'll make it any way.
Take it, my life,
my life is you.

What's the use in waking
if you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

I've only myself to...
I've only myself to (give to) you.

For better or worse I dedicate my life to you.
La-la-la-la....

Nobody Told Me (Lennon) - 3:33

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 cooking and nothing in the pot
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 nothing left 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 the movies you just gotta lay 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 a UFO 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 -- most peculiar, mama

Life Begins at 40 (Lennon) - 2:24

- "We'd like to welcome you here to the Dakota Country And Western Club
And in return for Miss Yoko Ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...
I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to me in the throes of my sleep
It's called "Life Begins At 40"

They say life begins at forty;
age is just a state of mind.
If all that's true,
you know, that I've been dead for thirty-nine.

And if life begins at forty,
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 ev'ry day
if that don't work,
I'll jerk around until my next birthday

yeah, life begins at forty,
age is just a state of mind.
Well, if all that's true
you know that I've been dead for thirty-nine.

I Don't Wanna Face It (Lennon) - 3:33

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 dish it out
But I just can't take it

Say 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

Well now you're lookin' for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
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!

I don't wanna face it I know
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it

I don't wanna face it

I just can't face it no more
Every time I look in the mirror
I don't see anybody there

Woman (Lennon) - 4:03

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of succsess,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However, distant don't keep us apart,

So let me tell you again and again and again,

Even after all these years,
I miss you when your not here,
I wish you were here my dear Yoko,

Even if it's just a day,
I miss you when your away,
I wish you were here today dear Yoko,

Even if it's just one night,
I miss you and it don't feel right,

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,

Even after all this time,
I miss you like the sun don't shine,
Without you I'm a one track mind dear Yoko,

After all is really said and done,
The two of us are really one,
The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko.

Watching the Wheels (Lennon) - 3:05

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 o.k. they look at me kind of 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 kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell 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,

People asking 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 merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

I'm Stepping out (Lennon) - 4:20

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 awhile
Ain't been out for days...

Borrowed Time (Lennon) - 3:58

When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power

When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear

Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

The Rishi Kesh Song (Lennon) - 2:28

- "Alright, the happy Rishi Kesh Song"

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.

Ev'rything you need is here,
and ev'rything 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?

Ah now, 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.

Uuh -

Something is wrong,
something is wrong,
something is wrong.

Sean's Loud (Lennon) - 0:35

- "Well, that's how I like it too"
- "Can't you make it more louder?"
- "I can't make it any louder than it is, it's on full you see."

Beautiful Boy (Lennon) - 4:13

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

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,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean.

Mr. Hyde's Gone (Don't Be Afraid) (Lennon) - 2:43

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 favourite 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, how 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 favourite cup.
Girl, you've been good to me, don't be afraid tonight.

Don't be afraid,
don't be afraid,
(scat sing) 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, be-woon, be-woon, be
can you stand it?

Only You (Buck Ram, Ande Rand) - 3:26

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,

When you hold my hand I understand
the magic that you do.

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

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

Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over, you've won.

The Great Wok (Lennon) - 3:15

Hello, hello, testing, testing...

At this time of year...oh, let me first introduce myself.
Maybe you have heard me before, i am the great wok.
And as you know, the great wok must be done.
Now, at this time of year when brahama is in brahma...
The day of brahma is set to last one thousand years and its night is of equal length.
Well, for us human being, this is the end of the year now
and our minds turns towards what is laughably called the future.
No mind can comprehend the infinite and absolute anon munsch mars stunvelly humpff,
as we say in the himalayas.
Now let5 me tell you, my resolution of the year 1979 is to renounce complete everything,
but complete luxury and self indulgance.
Now i suggest this is going to be very, very difficult, very difficult indeed.
I feel it's my duty, not only as a human being but as a person
or was it not george formy who said there are four billion three hundred and twenty million
mortal or earth years which is one day of brahma.
So, one way of looking at it is simply not to look at it at all.
And that's exactly what we're going to do now.
So we'll settle down, deeply, i hope, and comfortably in an easy chair
and then, lay back, put the incense on, light the candles and give yourself a hard time

Mucho Mungo (Lennon) - 1:26

Mucho mungo, sweet thing,
sweetest little thing I've ever seen.
Must have been a sweet dream,
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 tomorrow ev'ry day,
sail it to the sunshine through the haze.

Satire 1 (Lennon) - 2:22

Lord, take this makeup of off of me.
I said, "lordy, lordy, lordy, take this makeup offa me."
it's bad enough on the beach,
but it's worse in the sea.

Because I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Because I'm lookin' for my ma.

I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."
I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."
I got so thin now, they're draggin' me down to my knees.
Oh yeah, man, do you Mr. Jones?

Town,
now I've been here so long, I almost forgot my name.
I said, "lord I been here so long I almost forgot my name."
but as long as I keep touring,
I'll always be in the game, fame, brain, shame and fame and game, fame, fame....

Satire 2 (Lennon) - 4:36

Well, thank you, Mr. Jitters.
Thank you, mister jitters.

The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in Vietnam. And were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. Wow. Sounds like a ballad to me, oh man.
Bangkok, Thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign Vietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in Thailand. Sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communicating. Oh lord, the boat was towed into Thai waters by a German freighter and the Thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision.
Hey, that's deep man.

The Chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premier Deng Xiaoping. And said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernization and programs., oh this should get me in the village bar.
Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinions of the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. Adding this is nothing terrible. It' bad enough, but its not terrible.
From a prison, Richard Nixon, on his second trip outside the United States, sent his fesignation with a smiling handshake politician again. Greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little French.
They sure as hell didn't try it on Pam Nixon., Mr. Nixon is in Paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on French television. They thought of going on to deliver a speech in England, he'll participate in the French college program and said he will answer questions in welsh.

That's pretty big Mr. M. Ahhh, I'm so cynical, I could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. They're gonna be sellin' my socks like Judy garland. And I hope that they get a good price. I mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. Man, I shouldn't worry, I own all my songs and I wrote them myself too.
I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. And look through my mail. Perhaps have a garage sale. And you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? Stuck inside of a lexicon with the roger thesaurus blues again.
Sometimes I wish I was just George Harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god.

Satire 3 (Lennon) - 0:47

- "Just a minute! I'm just getting my jyamas
I'd just want to leave you with this message.

They say that the best things in life are free, except on TV, heh, heh, heh, heh...

Sean's in the Sky (Lennon) - 1:25

-"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?"
