HERE WE GO AGAIN
By John Lennon and Phil Spector
Here we go again,
Here we go again and again,
Wond'rin' how it all began,
Wond'rin' will it ever end.
Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though I know we've been this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.
Here we go again,
Here we go again.
Here we go again,
Here we go again.
So I say hello again,
And nobody gives a damn,
And nobody wants to hold your hand,
Ev'ryone is an also-ran.
Round and round we go,
Where it's going, nobody knows.
Though I know we've seen this place before,
Someone keeps on moving the door.
Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh,
Round and round we go-oh.
ROCK AND ROLL PEOPLE
By John Lennon
Two, three, four!
Yeah, we're rock'n'roll people, born to pick the news.
Yeah, we're rock'n'roll people,
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to.
Don't tell me where your head is, man,
I can see your shinin' shoes.
Don't play the virgin, Mary,
We all know you've been screwed.
Rock'n'roll people, born to be the news.
Yeah, we're rock'n'roll people,
I just couldn't change it if I would choose to.
My father was a mother,
My mother was a son.
Don't play the dog for dinner,
We all been twenty-one.
Don't ask me what the time is
Or how much space I need.
Don't play the Mona Lisa,
You'll know where she's been.
Sweet, sweet rock and roll,
Sweet, sweet rock and roll...
Rock, rock, rock and roll,
Rock, rock, rock and roll...
Uh-huh-uh.
Hey!
Okay!

SINCE MY BABY LEFT ME
By Arthur Crudup
Okay! Okay! This is it, children!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
That's nice!
The story 'bout all of us,
Not one missing.
She leaves you,
Ain't got no sweet, no, no, no.
Yeah!
Since my baby left me (since my baby left me),
Never said a word (never said a word).
Was it something I done (was it something I done),
Something that she heard? (something that she heard?)
You know, she left me (yes, she left me),
Yes, she left me (yes, she left me),
My baby even left me, never said a word.
Tra la la (tra la la),
Tra la la (tra la la).
Now I stand at my window (now I stand at my window),
Wring my hand and cry (wring my hand and cry).
I hate to lose that woman (I hate to lose that woman),
Hate to say goodbye (hate to say goodbye).
You know, she left me (yes, she left me),
Yes, she left me (yes, she left me),
You know, she even left me, never said goodbye.
Never said goodbye!
Da da da (da da da)...
One of these mornings (one of these mornings),
Lord, it won't be long (lord, it won't belong),
You look for me and, baby (you look for me, baby),
And daddy will be gone (daddy will be gone).
You know, she left me (yes, she left me),
Yes, she left me (yes, she left me),
My baby even left me, never said a word.
Not a word!
Oh, so sad,
So sad...
TO KNOW HER IS TO LOVE HER
By Phil Spector
To know, know, know her is to love, love, love her.
Ev'ryone said there'll come a day
When I, I walk along side of her.
Yeah just to know, know, know her is to love, love, love her.
You know that I do,
You know that I do,
Yeah, I do, oh, I do.
Why, why can't she see?
Oh, how, how blind can she be?
Some day she'll see
That she was meant just for me, oh yeah.
To know, know, know her is to love, love, love her.
Just, just to see her smile,
Makes my life worthwhile.
Yeah, just to know, just to know her,
You know, is to love, love, love, love her.
You know that I do,
You know that I do,
Yeah, I do.
STEEL AND GLASS
By John Lennon
There you stand with your L.A. tan,
And your New York walk
And your New York talk.
Your mother left you when you were small,
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all.
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 you spread your lies,
But you can't pull strings if your hand are tied.
Hey, hey, hey.
Your teeth are clean
But your mind is capped,
You leave your smell like an alley cat.
There you stand with your toilet sand,
And your Mickey duck
And your Donald fuck.
Your daddy left when you was small,
You're gonna wish you wasn't born at all.
Now, now, now, now, now,
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
SCARED
By John Lennon
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared,
I'm 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, oh no!
I'm stoned, I'm stoned, I'm stoned,
I'm stoned-oned.
I'm stoned, I'm stoned, I'm stoned,
Ev'ry 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.
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me,
I guess you knew it right from the start.
Sing a lot about love and peace,
Don't wanna see the red raw meat,
The green eyed goddamn straight from the heart.
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired,
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being all alone.
No place to call my home,
Like a rolling stone.
OLD DIRT ROAD
By John Lennon and Harry Nilsson
Ain't no people on the old dirt road,
No more weather on the old dirt road.
It's better than a mudslide, mama, when the morning come.
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.
Trying shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind.
Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day,
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay.
I said, "Hey, Mister human, can you rainmaker too?"
He said, "I guess it's okay, you know the only thing we need is water,
Cool, clear water".
NOBODY LOVES YOU
(WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT)
By John Lennon
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.
Well, I've been across to the other side,
I've shown you ev'rything, I got nothing to hide.
But still you ask me, do I love you?
What it is? What it is?
All I can show you is it's all show biz,
All I can tell you is it's all show biz.
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine.
Been across the water now so many times,
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind.
But still you ask me, do I love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time I put my finger on it, it slips away,
Ev'ry time I put my finger on it, it slips away.
What you say? What you say? What you say?
Well, I get up in the morning
And I'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness
And I know I can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey,
Nobody needs you when you're upside down.
Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday,
Ev'rybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
BLESS YOU
By John Lennon
Three, four.
Bless you, wherever you are,
Windswept child on a shooting star,
Ah, ah.
Restless spirits depart,
Still we're deep in each other's hearts.
Ah, ah.
Some people say it's over,
Now that we spread our wings.
But we know better, darling,
The hollow ring is only last years echo, oh.
Well, now bless you, whoever you are,
Holding her now,
Be warm and kind hearted.
And remember, although love is strange,
Now and forever, our love will remain the same.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
