GOING DOWN ON LOVE
By John Lennon
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees.
Going down on love,
Going down on love,
Going down, going down, going down.
When the real thing goes wrong,
And you can't get it on,
And your love, she has gone,
And you got to carry on,
And you shoot out the light,
Ain't coming home for the night,
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price.
Somebody please, please, help me,
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred.
Something precious and rare,
Disappears in thin air,
And it seems so unfair,
Nothin' doin' nowhere,
Well, you burn all your boats,
And you sow your wild oats,
Well, you know, you know, you know the price is right.
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to get down, down on my knees,
Got to, got to get down, down on my knees,
Oh!
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.
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 dry spell come, yeah,
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 to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day,
I saw a human being 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, water".
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, yeah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, old dirt road.
Ah!
Mm, good night.
Keep on keeping on...
So long,
So long,
Bye, bye,
Bye,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on keeping on,
Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on,
Keep on, keep on, keep on.
WHAT YOU GOT
By John Lennon
"One!"
Hey, hey!
Don't wanna be a drag,
Ev'rybody 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, give me one more chance.
All right!
Well, it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up,
Sunday morning, I just gotta give it up.
Come Monday, mama, 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, give me 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, give me one more chance.
Come on, babe!
Hey, hey!
All right!
BLESS YOU
By John Lennon
Mm-mm.
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,
Hey, hey.
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, oh.
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.
Mm-mm,
Hey, hey.
"We'll take a listen".
SCARED
By John Lennon
"Sneaky!"
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, oh no!
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
I'm scarred, oh no.
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred,
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, 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 home,
Like a rolling stone.
Stand even!
Hey, yeah!
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...
SURPRISE, SURPRISE (SWEET BIRD OF PARADOX)
By John Lennon
Hey!
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 and forget who I am, boy.
I need, need, need, need, need her.
Well, I was wond'rin' 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...
Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love...
Ah, god, I love.
STEEL AND GLASS
By John Lennon
"Nine, nine"
"Huh, huh, huh, huh, this is the story about the old friend of mine"
(Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?)
There you stand with your L.A. tan,
And your New York walk and your New York talk.
Your mother left you when you were small,
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all.
Hey!
Steel and glass...
Mm, mm.
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 hand are tied.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Well, your teeth are clean
But your mind is capped,
You leave your smell like an alley cat.
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'll scratch mine.
I've been across to the other side,
I've shown you ev'rything, 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.
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.
And 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.
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.
YA YA
By Morris Robinson, Clarence Lewis and Lee Dorsey
"Okay, we're just sittin' in the la la. Okay, we'll do that"
One, two, three, four.
Sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for the ya ya, ah-mm-mm.
Sittin' in the la la,
Waitin' for the ya ya, ah-mm-mm.
It may sound funny,
But it's all right, honey, ah-ha-mm.
Hey, baby, worry, don't make me worry, ah-ha-ha,
Hey, baby, hurry, don't make me worry, mm-ha-ha.
It may sound funny, but it's only...наверх
