INSTANT KARMA
By John Lennon
Three, four
Instant karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you right on the head.
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead.
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love?
What on earth you tryin' to do?
It's up to you, yeah, you!
Instant karma's gonna get you,
Gonna look you right in the face.
Better get yourself together, darlin',
Join the human race.
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughing at fools like me?
Who on earth do you think you are,
A superstar? Well, all right, you are!
Well, we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Well, we all shine on,
Ev'ryone, come on!
Instant karma's gonna get you,
Gonna knock you off your feet.
Better recognize your brothers,
Ev'ryone you meet.
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear.
Why on earth are you there?
When you're ev'rywhere, come and get your share.
Well, we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Yeah, we all shine on,
Come on and on and on, on, on.
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Well, we all shine on,
Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
Yeah, we all shine on,
On and on and on, on and on...
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
By John Lennon
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
Say we want a revolution,
We'd better get it on right away.
Well, get yer on your feet
And into the street, singing
A million workers workin' for nothin',
You better give 'em what they really own.
We got to put you down
When we come into town singing
I gotta ask you comrades and brothers,
How do you treat your own woman back home?
She's got to be herself,
So she can give us help singing:
Now, now, now, now!
Oh well, power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people!
Power to the people, right on!
WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT
By John Lennon
Whatever gets you through the night,
'Salright, 'salright.
Bet your money or your life,
'Salright, 'salright.
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers,
Oh no, oh no.
Whatever gets you through your life,
'Salright, 'salright.
Do it wrong or do it right,
It's alright, 'salright.
Don't need a watch to waste your time,
Oh no, oh no.
Hold me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
I won't do you no harm.
Trust me, darlin', come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen to me,
Come on, listen, listen.
Whatever gets you to the light,
'Salright, 'salright.
Out the blue or out of sight,
'Salright, 'salright.
Don't need a gun to blow your mind,
Oh no, oh no.
No. 9 DREAM
By John Lennon
So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, I know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.
Took a walk down the street,
Thru the heat whispered trees,
I thought I could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name (John),
As it started to rain (John),
Two spirits dancing so strange.
Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air?
I believe, yes, I believe,
More I cannot say,
What more can I say?
On the river of sound,
Thru the merry-go-round, round,
I thought I could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.
Ah, bowakawa pousse, pousse...
MIND GAMES
By John Lennon
We're playing those mind games together,
Pushing the barrier, planting seeds.
Playing the mind guerrilla,
Chanting the mantra peace on earth.
We all been playing those mind games forever,
Some kind of druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerrilla,
Some call it magic the search for the grail.
Love is the answer,
And you know that for sure.
Love is a flower,
You gotta let it, you gotta let it grow.
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Faith in the future out of the now.
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas,
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind.
Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever,
Projecting our images in space and in time.
Yes is the answer,
And you know that for sure.
Yes is surrender,
You gotta let it, you gotta let it go.
So keep on playing those mind games together,
Doing the ritual dance in the sun.
Millions of mind guerrillas,
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel.
Keep on playing those mind games forever,
Raising the spirit of peace and love.
Love.
I want you to make love, not war,
I know you've heard it before.
I want you to make love.
LOVE
By John Lennon
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.
IMAGINE
By John Lennon
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.
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.
JEALOUS GUY
By John Lennon
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.
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,
Look out, babe,
I'm just a jealous guy.
(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER
By John Lennon
Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown, we have grown.
Although our love is still special,
Let's take a chance and fly away
Somewhere alone.
It's been too long since we took the time,
No one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly.
But when I see you, darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over (over),
Starting over (over).
Ev'ry day we used to make it, love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy?
It's time to spread our wings and fly,
Don't let another day go by, my love,
It'll be just like starting over (over),
Starting over (over and over and oh).
Why don't we take off alone?
Take a trip somewhere far, far away.
We'll be together all alone again,
Like we used to in the early days.
Well, well, darling.
Look out!
(Over and over and over)
Starting over (over and over and over).
WOMAN
By John Lennon
"For the other half in the sky"
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.
Ooh well, well,
Ooh well, well.
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 sorrow or pain.
So let me tell you again and again and again.
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah, now and forever,
I love you, yeah, yeah.
I'M LOSING YOU
By John Lennon
Ah!
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,
I'm losing you.
Somehow the wires have crossed,
Communication's lost,
Can't even get you on the telephone-ah!
Just got to shout about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Well, here in the valley of indecision,
I don't know what to do,
I feel you slipping away,
I feel you slipping away.
I'm losing you, I'm losing you.
Well, now, you say you're not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad, bad, 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.
Well! Hey!
Well, well, well, I know I hurt you then,
But hell, that was way back when,
Well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Rock it!
Don't wanna hear about it.
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.
Don't wanna lose you now!
Well!
Well, long, long, long, gone,
Long, long.
BEAUTIFUL BOY (DARLING BOY)
By John Lennon
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 be patient.
'Cause it's a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe,
Yes, it's a long way to go but in the meantime.
Before you cross the street, take my hand,
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing.
Well, 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.
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,
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.
Ah, 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 just had to let it go,
I just had to let it go.
DEAR YOKO
By John Lennon
Oh well-a-hell-a-hell,
Even after all these 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 one hour,
I wilt just like a fading flower,
Ain't nothing in the world like our love, dear Yoko.
Oh, oh, Yoko!
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go.
Oh, oh, Yoko!
I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go (no, sir!)
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,
There's a hole where you're supposed to be,
There's nobody lying next to me, dear Yoko.
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.наверх
