JOHN LENNON LYRICS
Scroll down for a selection of John Lennon lyrics...
John Lennon, born in 1942, was an English singer/songwriter, artist and peace activist. Although best known as the founder of The Beatles, he recorded many hits on his own during a successful solo career in the years after the band broke up. He was married twice and had two sons. In addition to making music, John and his second wife, Yoko Ono, spent several years staging odd public demonstrations of perfromance art, in support of various political causes. On December 8, 1980, one month after the release of his long-awaited comeback album, John Lennon, age 40, was shot to death at the entrance to his apartment building in New York City. His killer was a mentally ill fan who had gotten his autograph earlier that night.
Ballad of John and Yoko
Standing on the dock at southampton Trying to get to holland or france The man in the mac Said, youve gotta go back You know, they didn't even give us a chance
Christ, you know it aint easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
Finally made the plane into paris Honeymooning down by the seine Peter brown called to say You can make it okay You can get married in gibraltar, near spain
Christ, you know it aint easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton Talking in our beds for a week The newspeople said Say, whatre you doing in bed? I said, were only trying to get us some peace
Christ, you know it aint easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
Made a lightning trip to vienna Eating chocolate cakes in a bag The newspapers said Shes gone to his head They look just like two gurus in drag
Christ, you know it aint easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
Caught the early plane back to london Fifty acrons tied in a sack The men from the press Said, we wish you success Its good to have the both of you back
Christ, you know it aint easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me The way things are going They're gonna crucify me The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
**************************************************************** Beautiful Boy
Close your eyes
Have no fear The monster's gone He's on the run and your daddy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy 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 Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy
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
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy 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 Darling, darling, darling Darling sean
**************************************************************** Imagine
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 religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday 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 may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
**************************************************************** Watching the Wheels
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. 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
