Click on the title for lyrics.
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 aloneIt’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 – starting overEveryday 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 – starting overWhy don’t we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We’ll be together on our own again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling
Repeat 1 & 2Written 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…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…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 oneWritten by John Lennon & Yoko Ono
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 goPeople asking questions lost in confusion
Well tell them there’s no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and look at me as if I’ve lost my mind
I tell them there’s no hurry…
I’m just sitting here doing timeI’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 goWritten by John Lennon
I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose controlI didn’t mean to hurt you
I’m sorry that I made you cry
I didn’t want to hurt you
I’m just a jealous guyI was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering insideI was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my painWritten by John Lennon
Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be deadWhat in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you trying to do
It’s up to you, yeah youInstant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darling
Join the human raceHow in the world you gonna see
Laughing at fools like me
Who in the hell do you think you are
A super star well, right you areWell we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Everyone come onInstant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognise your brothers
Everyone you meetWhy in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you’re everywhere
Come and get your shareWell 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 onYeah, 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 onWell we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sunWell we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sunWell we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sunWritten by John Lennon
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won’t be afraid
No I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by meAnd darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by meIf the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by meAnd darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by meWhenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by meDarling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by meWritten by Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller
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 beThey 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
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beWhen they’ve tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beKeep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to beThere’s room at the top they’re telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to beYes, a working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow meWritten by John Lennon

Oh my love or the first time in my life
My eyes are wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My eyes can seeI see the wind, oh I see the trees

I see the clouds, oh I see the sky
Everything is clear in our worldOh my love for the first time in my life
My mind is wide open
Oh my lover for the first time in my life
My mind can feelI feel sorrow, oh I feel dreams
Everything is clear in my heart

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you onIn the middle of the bath
In the middle of the bath I call your name
Oh Yoko, oh Yoko, my love will turn you onIn the middle of a shave

Nobody loves you when you’re down and out
Nobody sees you when you’re on cloud nine
Everybody’s hustlin’ for a buck and a dime
I’ll scratch your back and you scratch mineI’ve been across to the other side
I’ve shown you everything, 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 bizNobody loves you when you’re down and out
Nobody knows you when you’re on cloud nine
Everybody’s hustlin’ for a buck and a dime
I’ll scratch your back and you knife mineI’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
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime 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, ooo wee!
Then I’m lying in the darkness and I know I can’t get to sleep, ooo wee!Nobody loves you when you’re old and grey
Nobody needs you when you’re upside down
Everybody’s hollerin’ ’bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the groundWritten by John Lennon
Everybody’s talking and no one says a word
Everybody’s making love and no one really cares
There’s Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There’s always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They’re starving back in China so finish what you gotNobody told me there’d be days like these
No one told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed-most peculiar, mamaEverybody’s runnin’ and no one makes a move
Everybody’s a winner and no one seems to lose
There’s a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody’s flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody’s crying and no one makes a sound
There’s a place for us in movies you just gotta stay aroundNobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed-most peculiar, mamaEverybody’s smoking no one’s getting high
Everybody’s flying and never touch the sky
There’s UFO’s over New York and I ain’t too surprisedNobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed-most peculiar, mamaWritten by John Lennon
Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless spirits depart
Still we’re deep in each other’s heartsSome people say it’s over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year’s echoBless you whoever you are
Holding her now
Be warm and kind hearted
Remember altho love is strange
Now and forever our love will remainWritten by John Lennon
You might remember this better than I do, actually.

Standing on the corner
Just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for Jerry to land
Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
Singing, “Have a marijuana if you can.”
His name was David Peel
And we found that he was real
He sang, “The Pope smokes dope every day.”
Up come a policeman shoved us up the street
Singing, “Power to the people today!”NYC…NYC…NYC…
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?Well we went down to Max’s Kansas City
Got down the nitty gritty
With the Elephants Memory Band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!
Well we played some funky boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing, “Long Tall Sally’s a man.”
Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher
Singing, “God’s a red herring in drag!”NYC…NYC…NYC…
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?Well we did the Staten Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom,
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through the Village
But found that we had left it back in London
Well nobody came to bug us,
Hustle us or shove us
So we decided to make it our home
If the Man wants to shove us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said, “Come!”NYC…NYC…NYC…
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?NYC Down in the Village
What a bas-ass city!
Que pasa, New York? Que pasa, New York?Written by John Lennon
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 skyI’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping outIf it don’t feel right don’t do it
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it
After all is said and done you can’t go pleasin’ everyone
So screw it. . .Baby’s sleeping the cats have all been blessed
Ain’t nothing doing on T.V.
Put on my space suit I got to look my best
I’m going out to do the cityI’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m stepping outWritten by John Lennon
From Liverpool to Tokyo
What a way to go
From distant lands one woman one man
Let the four winds blowThree thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of the rising sunLove has opened up my eyes
Love has blown right through
Wherever you are, you are here
Wherever you are, you are hereThree thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of surprising sunEast is east and west is west
The twain shall meet
East is west and west is east
Let it be completeThree thousand miles over the ocean
Three thousand light years from the land of the morning starWritten by John Lennon
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep despair
When I was younger
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear(I was) Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrowNow I am older
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 hourLiving on borrowed time…
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day in a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complication everything clearLiving on borrowed time…
Written by John Lennon

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
Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to your heart
However distant don’t keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars ooh wellWoman please let me explain
I never mean(t) to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again(I love you now and forever)
Written 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 kinda druid dude lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grailLove is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it, you got to let it growSo keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future outta the now
You just can’t beat on those mind guerillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we’re playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in timeYes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love(I want you to make love not war, I know you’ve heard it before)
Written by John Lennon
Out the blue you came to me
And blew away life’s misery
Out the blue life’s energy
Out the blue you came to meEveryday l thank the Lord and Lady
For the way that you came to me
Anyway it had to be two minds one destinyOut the blue you came to me
And blew away life’s misery
Out the blue life’s energy
Out the blue you came to meAll my life has been a long slow knife
l was born just to get to you
Anyway I survived long enough to make you my wifeOut the blue you came to me
And blew away life’s misery
Out the blue life’s energy
Out the blue you came to meLike a U.F.O. you came to me
And blew away life’s misery
Out the blue life’s energy
Out the blue you came to meWritten by John Lennon

Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you but you didn’t want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbyeFather, you left me but I never left you
I needed you but you didn’t need me
So I just got to tell you
Goodbye goodbyeChildren, don’t do what I have done
I couldn’t walk and I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye goodbyeMamma don’t go
Daddy come homeWritten by John Lennon
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster’s gone
He’s on the run and your daddy’s hereBeautiful
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful BoyBefore you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and betterBeautiful
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
Because it’s a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes it’s a long way to go
But in the meantimeBefore you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you’re busy making other plansBeautiful
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful BoyDarling
Darling darling
Darling SeanWritten by John Lennon
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is…think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it…do something about itWe make her paint her face and dance
If she won’t be a slave, we say that she don’t love us
If she’s real, we say she’s trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she’s above us
Woman is the nigger of the world…yes she is
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeh…better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she’s too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world…yes she is
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave to the staves
Yeh (think about it)We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she’s young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumbWoman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is…if you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes she is…if you believe me, you better scream about it.Repeat:
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance.Written by John Lennon

The dream is overWritten by John Lennon
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
I’m scarred, I’m scarred, I’m scarred
Every 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 heartI’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin’ stoneWritten by John Lennon
So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to meTook a walk down the street
Through the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain
Two spirits dancing so strangeAh! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, pousséDream, 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 a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfoldingAh! böwakawa poussé, poussé…
Written by John Lennon
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
Somehow the wires have crossed
Communication’s lost
Can’t even get you on the telephone
Just got to shout about it
I’m losing youHere 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 youYou 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 bandaid on it?
And stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding nowI know I hurt you then
But hell that was way back when
Well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Don’t want to hear about it
I’m losing you
I’m losing youI don’t want to lose you now.
Well, no, no, no.Long, long lost John
Written by John Lennon
People say we got it made
Don’t they know we’re so afraid?
Isolation
We’re afraid to be alone
everybody got to have a home
IsolationJust a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
IsolationI don’t expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you’re not to blame
You’re just a human, a victim of the insaneWe’re afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation.Written by John Lennon
Temperature’s rising
Fever is high
Can’t see no future
Can’t see no skyMy feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was deadCold turkey has got me on the run
My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can’t see no body
Leave me aloneMy eyes are wide open
Can’t get to sleep
One thing I’m sure of
I’m in at the deep freezeCold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me againOh I’ll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hellCold turkey has got me on the run
Written by John Lennon
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people’s superstitions
It seemed like suicide
And as l play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when l struggle in the night
The magic of the music seems to light the way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me everywhere
Well my instincts are fine
l had to learn to use them in order to survive
And time after time confirmed an old suspicion
It’s good to be alive
And when I’m deep down and out and lose communication
With nothing left to say
It’s then I realize it’s only a condition
Of seeing things that way
Intuition takes me there
Intuition takes me anywhereWritten by John Lennon
I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight-short sighted-narrow minded hypocriticsAll I want is the truth
Just gimme some truthIve had enough of reading things
By neurotic-psychotic-pig headed politiciansAll I want is the truth
Just gimme some truthNo short haired-yellow bellied son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for ropeI’m sick to death of seeing things
From tight lipped-condescending-mommies little chauvinistsAll I want is the truth
Just gimme some truthI’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic-ego-centric-paranoiac-prima-donnas
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truthWritten by John Lennon

-Okay start again, silly boy, take 4
All my little plans and schemes
Gone like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for youJust like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all we really were doing
Was waiting for loveNo need to be alone
No need to be aloneIt’s real love
It’s real,
Yes it’s real love
It’s realFrom this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for loveThought I’d been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for youNo need to be afraid
No need to be afraidIt’s real love
Yes it’s real,
Yes it’s real love
It’s realWritten by John Lennon
