DISC ONE: ASCOT
WORKING CLASS HERO
By John Lennon
"Ah, she's gone to do it?"
"Let's go again"
"What is it?"
"I just wanted to do an..."
"Okay, I'll try it, okey?"
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 fucking crazy, you can't follow their rules.
When they 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.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
You think you're so clever and classless and free.
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile when you kill.
If you want to be like the folks on the hill.
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me,
If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me.
"How is the sound?"
GOD
By John Lennon
Ok!
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 Kennedys,
I don't believe in Buddah,
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's 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 just have to carry on,
The dream is over.
"Hey, it's incredibly strange in the end"
I FOUND OUT
By John Lennon
I told you before stay away from my door,
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother.
The kids on the phone won't leave me alone,
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother.
No!
I found out,
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.
Some of you sittin' there with your axe in your hand,
Don't get you nowhere, don't make you a man.
I heard something 'bout your ma and pa,
They didn't want you, so they made you a star.
Yeah!
Old hare Krishna got nothing on you,
Just drive you crazy with nothing to do.
Just keep you occupied with pie in the sky,
There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes.
I found this out,
I found out.
Now that I've found out 'bout dope and cocaine
Don't even wanted to see Mary Jane.
I've seen junkies, I've seen through them all,
I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul.
I found out,
I found out,
Yes! Yeah!
Well, I found out.
HOLD ON
By John Lennon
Well.
Hold on, John,
John, hold on it's gonna be alright.
Hold on, Yoko.
ISOLATION
By John Lennon
Isolation!
I don't expect you...
"That was a goon up, sorry"
"That's a shame!"
"Yeah"
"It was nice"
"It was"
"It was just going very well"
"I know!"
"Maybe we can paste them together"
"Yeah, that was very good, wasn't it!"
"Remember that line"
"Yeah, remember those bits, we'll keep 'em! What went wrong?"
"I didn't come in with you, it's my fault!"
"Oh, well alright, that's fine as long as I know what 'appened!"
People say we got it made,
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation.
We're afraid to be alone,
Ev'rybody got to have a home.
Isolation.
Just a boy and a little girl,
Tryin' to change the whole wide world.
Isolation.
The world is just a little town,
Ev'rybody tryin' 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 ev'ryone,
Afraid of the sun.
Isolation.
The sun will never disappear,
But the world may not have many years.
Isolation!
"Yeah, you see I concentrated less on the words and more on the vocal"
LOVE
By John Lennon
Love is reaching, reaching love,
"Ha, ha, I was thinking about me bung guitar note!"
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 needing to be loved.
MOTHER
By John Lennon
Goodbye, goodbye.
"Okey, start now"
Mother, you had me, but I never had you.
Oh, I wanted you, you didn't want me.
So I, I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Father, you left me, but I never left you.
Oh, I needed you, you didn't need me, oh no.
So I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.
Children, don't do what I have done.
Oh, I couldn't walk and I tried to run.
So I, I just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, oh, goodbye.
Mama, don't go,
Daddy, come home...
"Yeah, yes, yes... Well, that was more like it"
REMEMBER
By John Lennon
How the man use to leave you...
"It's going too fast, you fuckin' hell! Ha! Ha! Okey, now listen, now lookie here"
"This is the story of..."
"Rock Island Line!"
"This is the story!"
Well, remember, when you were young,
How the hero was never hung,
Always got away.
And, remember (heh-heh), how the man, woof!
Used to leave you empty handed,
Always, always let you down.
So if you ever change your mind, or the rhythm, ha-ha, just get on!
Don't lag behind! Ha, ha, bam-bam-bam-bam!
Remember, remember today.
And don't you worry
About what you've done.
And don't feel sorry
'Bout what's been said and done.
IMAGINE (Take one)
By John Lennon
"Can you be very quiet in the kitchen, please, thank you"
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people
Sharing for today, ah-ha-ah.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace, you-oo.
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.
Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world, you-oo.
"FORTUNATELY"
"Yes, fortunately, we both agree"
"Unfortunately, not always"
"In the end. I wonder what' gonna happen"
"Fortunately, we don't know"

JEALOUS GUY
By John Lennon
"One, two, three, four"
I was dreaming 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 my,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.
I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more.
I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside.
Mm-mm-mm....
I was tryin' to catch your eyes,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.
Watch out,
I'm just a jealous guy,
I'm just a jealous guy.
MAGGIE MAE
Trad. arr. by John Lennon
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,
Went down on number nine,
T'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?
By John Lennon
"Stop! Okey. One... Ready? One, two, one, two, three, four. No, no, we're going right in this time"
"Six!"
"One, two, one, two, three, four"
So sergeant Pepper took you by surprise,
You better see right thru that mother's eyes.
So dicks was right when they said you was dead,
Your one mistake you made was in your head.
Tell me, how do you sleep?
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king,
Jump when your mama tell you anything.
The only thing you done was "Yesterday",
And since you're gone you've just "Another Day".
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?
Tell me, babe, how do you sleep at night?
You was king...
Oh, 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.
A sound you make is muzak to my ears,
You must have learned something in all those years.
Oh, how do you sleep, brother?
Oh, tell me, how do you sleep at night?
Hit it!
Jump when your mama tell you anything...

LONG LOST JOHN
Traditional, arranged by John Lennon
"Hmm, I think the piano maybe is better, I just realised the... hmm....hello, Yoko...Yeah!"
Well, he's long, long, lost John,
Long, long, lost John.
Lost John standing by the railroad track
A-waitin' for the freight train to come back.
The freight train come back, but never made a stop
Lost John thought he'd have to ride the top.
I got it about at half past three,
You don't look out, she's gonna spew on me.
I'm gonna run, railroad bill
I'm gonna ru...
"Hello, Richard? Mo, Mo, I'm different, that's one of the problems with it"
DISC TWO: NEW YORK CITY
NEW YORK CITY
By John Lennon
Well, I was standing on the corner, just me and Yoko Ono,
We was holding Jerry Rubin by the hand...
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand,
Singing, "Have a marijuana, if you can".
Well, we was... his name was David Peel,
He sang, "The pope smokes dope all the day".
Up come a guitar man, tryin' to be a guitar,
Singing, "The pope smokes dope all the way".
New York City!
New York City!

Que pasa, New York?
Que pasa, New York?
ATTICA STATE (live)
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
"It is my pleasure and privilige at this very solumn moment to introduce a young man and his wife who saw fit to put down in music and lyrics so that it will never be forgotten in our country, by anyone, the tragedy of Attica State. There's no more that I can say, Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to introduce you to John and Yoko Lennon"
"I'd just like to say, it's an honour and a pleasure to be here at the Apollo and for the reasons we're all here. This song, Yoko and I wrote, is called 'Attica State'"
One, two, three, four!
What a waste of human power,
What a waste of human lives.
Shoot the pris'ners in the towers,
Forty-three poor widowed wives.
Attica state, Attica state,
We're all mates with Attica state.
Media blames it on the pris'ners,
But the pris'ners did not kill.
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger",
That is what the people feel.
Free the pris'ners, jail the judges,
Free all pris'ners ev'rywhere.
All they need is truth and justice,
All the want is love and care.
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.
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, Attica state,
We all live in Attica state.
"Thank you, aah, thank you, thank you, aah. Some of you, eh, wonder what I'm doing here with no drummers and no nothin' like that. Well, you might know I lost my me old band, or I left it. I'm puttin' a, I'm puttin' an elecric band together, it's not ready yet. Ah, things like this keep comin' up so, I just have to busk it. So I'm gonna sing you a song now you might know. It's called 'Imagine'"
IMAGINE (Live)
By John Lennon
Two, three, four.
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, ah-ha-ah.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace, you-oo.
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

I wonder if you can.
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.

Sharing all the world, you-oo.
"Thank you!"
BRING ON THE LUCIE (FREDA PEOPLE)
By John Lennon
"Stop! Stop!"
A 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 it that you came.
Your making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just got to 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's ev'rywhere.
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 know what rules you are playing
We don't even wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and you know what you're doing,
And 666 is your name.
So while you jerking off each other,
You bear this thought in mind;
Your time has come, you better know it,
But maybe you just can't read the signs.
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 gotta 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 I say it's picking up..."
"One and a two and a three and a four, hey!"
"That's it now, hold on, hold on... let's hear more bass in the earphones and more slide guitar and a touch less of the piano"
WOMAN IS THE NIGGER OF THE WORLD
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Woman is the nigger of the world,
Yes, she is, think about it.
Woman is the nigger of the world,
If you don't believe it, take a look at the one you're with.
IT'S SO HARD (live)
By John Lennon
You gotta eat,
You gotta drink,
You gotta feel something,
You gotta worry.
But it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
You gotta live,
You gotta love,
You gotta be somebody,
You gotta shove.
But you know it's hard,
You know, it's hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
But when it's good,
It's really good.
And when I hold you in my arms, baby,
Sometimes 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,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
But you know, it's hard,
It's so hard to get hard,
Sometimes I feel like going down.
"Thank you, mummy, thank you, daddy!"

He one holy roller,
He got hair down to his knee.
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please.
He wear no shoeshine,
He got monkey fingers,
He got hairy arsehole,
He one holy roller,
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 me.
He bag production,
He got walrus gumboot,
He ono sideboard,
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.
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 looking, he's so hard to see.
Come together, right now, stop the war!
Come together,
Come together,
Come together, right!
Come together, hey!
Come together.
"Thank you!"
HAPPY XMAS (WAR IS OVER)
By Yoko Ono and John Lennon
Happy Christmas, Kyoko.
Happy Christmas, Julian.
So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Another year over, 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 the rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas for black and for white,
For the yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight.
And so happy Christmas, we hope you have fun,
The near and the dear one, the old and the young.
THE LUCK OF THE IRISH (live)
By John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Ok, one, two, three, one two, three.
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!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!
If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as 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 Auld Eireland.
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 I.R.A.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye, aye! Genocide!
Okay!
You should have 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.
One more time!
You should have 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,
Hey, yes, you'd wish you were English instead.
"Thank you!"
JOHN SINCLAIR
By John Lennon
"Now we came here not only to help John and to spotlight what's goin' on.But also it show to the... to say to all of you, that aaah.. apathy isn't here and that we can do somethin'. Ok, so flower power didn't work, so what? We start again. This song I wrote for John Sinclair"
"OK, John Sinclair, nice and easy now... sneaky!"
One, two, a one, two, three, four.
It ain't fair, John Sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air.
Won't you care for John Sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air?
Let him be, set him free,
Let him be like you and me.
They gave him ten for two,
What else can judge Columbo do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free.
If he'd was a soldier man,
Shooting gooks in Vietnam,
If he was the C.I.A.,
Selling dope and making hay,
He'd be free, they'd let him be,
Breathing air like you and me.
Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing ev'ryone?
Free John now, if you can,
From the clutches of the man.
Let him be, lift the lid,
Bring him to his wife and kids.
Alright!
They gave him ten for two,
What else can the bastards do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!
"Ok, thank you all for coming, we're way over time, sorry we couldn't hear more music. John, if you're listening still in jail, man, I hope this help, we hope to see you here soon. Thank you all for coming and being so nice"
THE DAVID FROST SHOW
"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".
MIND GAMES (I PROMISE)
By John Lennon
Oh, I promise, yes, I promise you,

ONE DAY (AT A TIME)
By John Lennon
You are my weakness,
You are my strength,
Nothing I have in the world
Makes better sense.
'Cause I'm a fish and you're the sea.
When we're together
When we're apart,
There's never a beat 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-be doo,
One day at a time is good for you,
Oh, oh, oh-oh.
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 ev'ry 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-be-doo-be-doo,
One day at a time is good for you,
Us two,
You too,
Oh-oh.
'Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea,
'Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree,
'Cause I'm the door and you're the key,
'Cause I'm a honey and you're the bee.
I KNOW
By John Lennon
"The end of two middle aged"
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 now.
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.
Oooh.
No more cry, no more cryin'.
I'M THE GREATEST
By John Lennon
"OK, OK, shall we try another one? It's the intro that we're worst on now, a bit slow isn't it?"
"Yeah..."
"Yeah, too... on the Tom Tom's or something, about four, ok, shall we try it? OK boys, this is it!"
Hey, hey one, two, three, four.
When I was a little boy,
Way back home in Liverpool,
My mama told me I was great.
Then when I was a teenager,
I knew that I had got something going,
My baby told me I was great.
Now I'm a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And she told me I was great.
I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
And now I'm thirty-two,
And all I wanna do is boogaloo!
Hey!
Yeah, I look at myself in the mirror,
I see my wife and kids,
And they tell me you're great.
Now let me introduce to you
The one and only Billie Shears.
Ah, she's thirty-two,
And all she wants to do is boogaloo!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hear them say,
My mama told me I was great
Ho, ho, ho!
"Let's go again, go straight from the top. Ok, oh, that's ok... bang... two, three, four!"
GOODNIGHT VIENNA
By John Lennon
... Last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah...
Oh gee! I'm worn out! Can we try another, can you hear what he's saying?
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
Up come a butcher with her ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna.
Felt like a bohunk, but I kept up my cool, ah-hah-hah,
Green as a frog, man, I was back into school, ah-hah-hah,
Zipped up my mouth 'cause I was starting to drool, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna.
Git it up! Git it up!
Git it up! Git it up!
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna.
She said she loved me, but I knew she was lying, ah-hah-hah,
Felt like an arab who was dancing through zion, ah-hah-hah,
Don't call no doctor when you just feel like crying, ah-hah-hah,
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna.
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
She was so beautiful, it made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
Up came a doct.... with his needles in sight, ah-hah-hah,
It's all down to goodnight Vienna.
JERRY LEWIS TELETHON
"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"
By Herman Hupfield
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
By John Lennon
"OK, start again, silly boy. Take four!"
All my little plans and schemes
Gone like some forgotten dreams.
Seems that 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.
YOU ARE HERE
By John Lennon
"'Bout there was it? OK, let's count!"
One, two, three, four.
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.
From mystico to magico,
What a way to fly.
From...,
To village green,
Let in the light.
Love has opened up my mind,
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 right over the ocean.
Three thousand light-years
From the land of the morning star.
DISC THREE: THE LOST WEEKEND
WHAT YOU GOT
By John Lennon
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,
Baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.
You gave me the world, I throw it away,
... don't come ev'ry day.
Baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.
Well, you gave me the world, but I throw it away,
... don't come ev'ry day.
So, baby, baby, baby, give me one more chance.
Ooh.
NOBODY LOVES YOU
(WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT)
By John Lennon
I'll scratch your back and you'll scratch mine.
"Oh wonderful, wonderful"
"19!"
"Do it the other way"
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.
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 tell you is it's all show biz,
All I can tell you is it's all show biz.
What it is? What it is? What it is?
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.
I've 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 so away,
Ev'ry time I put my finger on it, it slips so away.
What you say? 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 you know I can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
One, two, three, four.
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.
"Alright, let's go and have a listen and break from it..."
WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT (home demo)

Well, she's the girl in the red blue jeans,
She's the queen over all the teens,
She's the one woman that I know,
She's the one that loves me so.
Say, be bop a lula, she's my baby,
Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe.
Be bop a lula, she's my baby love, my baby love, my baby.
Let's rock!
Well, she's the woman that's got that beat,
She's the woman with the flying feet,
She's the woman walks around the store, hah-hah
She's the one me yell for more, more, more, more.
Let's rock again!
"Oh, it's hot in here!"
RIP IT UP / READY TEDDY (MEDLEY)
By Robert Blackwell and John Marascalco
A one... a one, two, a one, two, three!
Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid,
Fool about my money, don't try to save.
My heart says, "Go! Go! Have a time!"
'Cause it's Saturday night and, baby, I feelin' fine.
I'm gonna rip it up,
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna shake it up,
Gonna ball it up,
Gonna rock it up,
And ball the night.
Got me a date and I won't be late,
Picked her up in my eighty-eight.
Shag on down to the union hall,
When the joint starts jumpin', I'll have a ball.
Gonna rock it up,
Gonna rip it up,
Gonna shake it up,
Gonna roll it up,
Gonna rock it up,
And ball the night.

Goin' to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie,
She's a rock and roll baby, she's the apple of my eye.
Now, the flat-top cats and the dungaree dolls
Headed for the gym to the sock hop ball
The joint's really jumpin', the cats are goin' wild
The music really send me, I dig that crazy style.
Yeah!
Gonna kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans,
Got a rock'n'roll babe, come on and see
I shuffle to the left, I'm shuffle to the right,
Gonna rock'n'roll 'to the early, early night.
"Yes?"
SCARED
By John Lennon
"I like the snake rattle, Arthur, hoo!"
Two, three, four!
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 slip away.
You don't have to suffer,
It is what it is.
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this.
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
I'm scarred, so scarred.
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
Ev'ry day of my life,
But I managed 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.
Singing about love and peace,
Don't wanna see the red raw meat,
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart.
Ow!
I'm tired, I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
For being so alone.
No place to call my own,
Like a rolling stone.
Hey!
"Okay!"
STEEL AND GLASS
By John Lennon
"Three"
"My wall collapsed"
"Well, it's up to you!"
"OK, eight!"
"Ba ba ba, okay, are you ready, Klaus? You old boggie you! Ok... humm... Alright, well, ok, let me then tune in with it..."
One, two, three, four
There you stand with your L.A. tan,
And your New York walk and your New York talk.
Your mother left you when you was small,
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all, mm.
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?
Mm, mm, mm, mm...
Your mouthpiece squawks
As you spread your lies,
But you can't pull strings when your hand are tied.
Your teeth are clean
But your mind is capped,
You leave your smell like an alley cat.
Now, now, now, now, now,
Now, now, now, now, aha.
"Stay in A"
"Alright!"
"Ok, ok, ok, well, that was the same as the last one!"
"It was better!"
"Better!?! Oh my God, it's better is it?
"Alright"
SURPRISE, SURPRISE
(SWEET BIRD OF PARADOX)
By John Lennon
"There's a break ev'ry time, there"
"No, oh, I thought it was you, som'body was hangin' over, maybe a foot on the pedal or something"
"Well, would you do it, Jim? Eh, I don't know what you do it on... yeah!"
"One, one, two, three, four"
Sweet as the smell of success,
Her body's warm and wet.
She gets me thru 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, forget who I am.
Oh I, I need, need, need her.
Well, I was wond'rin' how long this could go on,
On and on.
'Cause I thought I could never be surprised.
But could it be that I bit my own tongue?
Mm-hmm,
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong.
A bird of paradise,
Sunrise in her eyes.
God only knows such a sweet surprise,
I was blind, she blew my mind,
Think that I, oh, I love, love, love her.
Bless you, wherever you are,
Windswept child on a shooting star,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Restless spirits depart,
Still we're deep in each other's hearts.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Some people say it's over,
Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow, hollow ring is only last years echo.
Bless you, whoever you are,
Holding her now,
Be warm and kind hearted.
Ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed, ed.
Remember, though love is strange,
Now and forever, our love will remain.
GOING DOWN ON LOVE
By John Lennon
"Ok, hold it! Don't go da-da-da... we're having enough trouble, you know, just keepin' the rhythm without... 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"
"6"
"6, take 6"
"Two! This is it!"
One, two, three, four
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down.
MOVE OVER MS. L.
By John Lennon
"Ok, ok, give me a little more tape in the head on..."
A one, a two, a onre, two, three, four!
Well, now the underground and overjoyed, they come out just the same,
Don't wanna get too real, man, I just wanna play the game.
I guess you knew it all along we was 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 we 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.
Hey!
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!
Well, now momma, poppa, told me, son, you better watch your head,
Your head is full of snakes, you know, you're better red than dead.
They're starving back in china, well, that's what they always said!
Can't get head in the head shop, yer jeans is full of crap,
You're full of beans, you're in your teens, you lost your momma's road map!
Repeat!
All right!
"Ok, ok"

Bring it on home to me.
Yeh, yeh, yeh.
You know I laughed,
Laughed when you left.
But now I know, I've only hurt myself.
Alright!
You know I'll always be your slave,
'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave.
Send me some lovin',
Send it I pray.
How can I love you
When you're so far away?
Send me your picture,
Send it, my dear.
So I can hold it
And pretend you are near.
Send me your kisses,
I can feel your touch.
I need you, I need you so bad,
Don't you know I miss you so much?
My days are so lonely,
My nights are so blue.
I'm here and I'm lonely,
Just waitin' for you.

STRANGER'S ROOM
By John Lennon
"At this time... I just like to sing"
Here in this lonely room,
Late in the afternoon
Dreaming my life away-hey.
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 over do 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.
Ah!
Stop the bleeding now.
OLD DIRT ROAD
By John Lennon and Harry Nilsson
"Just keep on the road, you're the white line!"
Two, three, four...
And again... one, two, three, four.
Ain't no people on the old dirt road,
No more weather on the old dirt road.
Better than a mudslide, mama, when the morning comes, yeah,
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, old dirt road.
Ain't no diff'rence on the old dirt road,
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road.
Tryin' to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah, yeah.
Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day,
I saw a lazybonin' out in the hay.
I said, "Ah, hey, Mister human, can ya rainmaker too?"
He said, "I guess it's okay, you know the only thing we need is water,
Cool, clear water".
You say you're not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad stuff,
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a band-aid on it?
And stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now.
Uh-huh!
I know I hurt you then,
But hell that was way back when,
And well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Don't wanna hear about it.
I'm losing you, I'm losing you.
SEAN'S "LITTLE HELP"
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
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
By John Lennon
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,
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
Yeah, you may believe in devils and you may believe and laws,
But Christ, you 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, 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?
Lucky to have a pair of shoes?
You tell me you've found Jesus Christ,
That's great and he's the only one.
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 say you found Krishna
With his bald head, dancin' in the street,
Well, Christ now and you're bein' heard.
You gotta serve yourself,
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you, that's right lad
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
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.
I fight for god and country and the queen and all that
We're gonna set you free, yeah,
Bomb ya back into the fuckin' stone age if you won't be like me
You know, now get down on your knees and pray.
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.
Ha-ha-ha!
MY LIFE
By John Lennon
"Ok, but we like to, we like to have those things on record"
"Yeah, right"
"Let's not get so hysterical this time"
"No"
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.
I've only myself to...
I've only myself to (give to) you.
My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
When we both know together is the only way.
We're gonna make it any way.
Take it, my life,
My life is you.
NOBODY TOLD ME
By John Lennon
"Going on one"
"Ok! A one, two, three, four!"
Ev'rybody's talking and no one says a word,
Ev'rybody's making love for no one really cares.
There's nazis in the bathroom, just below the stairs.
Always something happening and nothing going on,
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,
Noone told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Most peculiar, honey, boogie!
Ev'rybody's runnin' and no one makes a move,
Ev'ryone's a winner and nothing left to lose.
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu.
Hey now, ev'rybody's flying and no one leaves the ground,
Well, ev'rybody's crying and no one makes a sound.
There's a place for us in movies, you just gotta lay around.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Noone told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Strange days indeed,
Most peculiar, mama!
Well now, ev'rybody's smoking and no one's getting high,
Ev'rybody's flying and never see the sky.
There's ufo's over new york and I ain't too surprised... into the middle.
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Noone told me there'd be days like these,
Nobody told me there'd be days like these,
Strange days indeed,
Most peculiar, most peculiar, I mean, I've never seen anything like it.
Hey hey hey
Roll it, roll it...
"Ok, let's do it now!"
LIFE BEGINS AT 40
By John Lennon
"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 birtday
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
By John Lennon
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.
You're looking for some peace and love,
The 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.
Earl slick!
Well, say you're looking for a world of truth,
Tryin' 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!
Ah, face it, face it, babe!
"I'm waiting for you!"
"My pick gets half the size!"
WOMAN
By John Lennon
One, two, three, four.
Woman, I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at 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.
Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man.
Please remember, my life is in your hand.
And woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart.
After all, it is written in the stars.
Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sadness or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.
I love you, now and forever...
DEAR YOKO
By John Lennon
A one, two, a one, two, three, four!
Oh well-a-hell-a-hell,
Even after all those years,
I miss you when you're not here,
I wish you were here, my dear Yoko.
Even if it's just a day,
I miss you when you're away,
I wish you were here today, dear Yoko.
Even if it's just one night,
I miss you and it don't feel right,
I wish you were here tonight, dear Yoko.
Even if it's just an hour,
I wilt just like a fading flower,
Ain't nothing in the world like our love, dear Yoko.
Oh, Yoko!
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go.
Oh, Yoko!
I'll never, never, never, never, never gonna let you go.
Oh!
Even when I'm miles at sea,
And nowhere is the place to be,
Your spirit's watching over me, dear Yoko.
Even when I watch TV,
Hole where you're supposed to be,
There's nobody lying next to me, dear Yoko.
And even after all this time,
I miss you like the sun don't shine.
Without you I'm a one track mind, dear Yoko.
Look out!
After all is really said and done,
The two of us are really one,
The goddess really smiled upon our love, dear Yoko.
Oh!
WATCHING THE WHEELS
By John Lennon
People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing.
They give me all kinds of warning to save me from ruin.
When I say that I'm okay,
Well, they look at me kind of strange,
Surely you're not happy now,
You no longer play the game.
Ah, and people say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away.
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me.
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall,
But don't you miss the big time, boy,
You're no longer on the ball.
I'm just sitting here making the wheels go round and round,
And I 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 look at me
As if I 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 just had to let it go.
I'M STEPPING OUT
By John Lennon
"Ok, who's got the rhythm? Ok, let's just... let's just hear the cassette then we'll get it, just any part of it".
Ok, a one, two, a one, two, three, four!
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.
If it don't feel right, you don't do it.
You just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
Well now, after all is said and done,
You can't go pleasin' ev'ryone so screw it.
Let's go to the doctor!
Called up the doctor, but he was sick to death,
He don't make house calls any more.
He's gone out dancin' to sweeten up his breath
Left a message on the floor
Latin!
If it don't feel right, well, don't do it.
You leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
Well now, after all is said and done,
You just can't please ev'ryone so screw it.
Last verse!
The baby's sleeping, the cats have all been blessed,
Ain't nothing doing on TV.
Put on my spacesuit, you know, I got to look my best,
I'm going out to do the city.
Hey!
I do take a chance
Like a dance in my pants.
BORROWED TIME
By John Lennon
"Read... ready for a little reggae, I think... yes... ok then, let's go"
"Welcome to Bermuda"
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living confusion and deep despair.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living illusion of freedom and power.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Full of ideals and broken dreams, my friend.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Ev'rything 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, uh-huh,
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.
Good to be older, uh-huh,
Would not exchange a singe day or year.
Good to be older, ah-hah,
Do not believe in those days I missed.
THE RISHI KESH SONG
By John Lennon
"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.
Something is wrong...
SEAN'S "LOUD"
"Yeah! I like it very loud!"
"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 (DARLING BOY)
By John Lennon
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three.
Close your eyes, have no fear,
The monster's gone, he's on the run,
And your daddy's here.
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.
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 have patience.
'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.
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,
And it's a hard row to hoe,
Yes, it's a long way to go, but in the meantime.
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
Ev'ry day, in every way
It's getting better and better.
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,
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
By Buck Ram and Ande Rand
(Oo-oo-oo)
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.
Oh-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...
GROW OLD WITH ME
By John Lennon
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,
God bless our love.
God bless our love,
God bless our love.
DEAR JOHN
By John Lennon
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.
And dear John,
Put the TV on, have a snack.
Wash your mother's back.
The race is over.
THE GREAT WOK
By John Lennon
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 let 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
By John Lennon
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
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
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.
Bankok, 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 communicatin. 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 premiar Deng Xiaoping. And said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation 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 hand shake 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 collegue 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
"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..."
SEANS "IN THE SKY"
"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 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".наверх
