Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Checking the sky to see if there's no clouds.
There's no clouds,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Mrs. lennon, o' mrs. lennon,
Making the tea and watching the sea.
There's no waves,
O' then, i guess it must be alright.

Silver spoon, o' silver spoon,
I lost my silver spoon.

And our children, o' our children,
Did they have to go to war?
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always killed you know.

Husband john extended his hand,
Extended his hand to his wife.
And he finds, and suddenly he finds
That he has no hands.

They've lost their bodies!
They've lost their bodies!
Yes, they lost their bodies.

Neither of them, o' neither of them
Never left each other.
Yes, my love, it's okay,
Half the world is always dying you know.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When my body's full of fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When my body's so cold?

Nothing short of the softest word can reach me now.
Nothing but the warmest heart can touch me now.

Will you hold me, will you hold me,
When my mind is full of fears?
Will you kiss me, will you kiss me,
When my mind is so down?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
Nothing in the world can open my heart but some kindness.

Will you touch me, will you touch me,
When i'm shaking in fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me,
When i'm trembling with tears?

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
And nothing in the world can open my heart but your kindness.

Mountains may move, river may run,
But you make me be myself, you make me be.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one?

Stars may move, time may run,
But you make me free myself, you make me free.
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you're the one, you're the one?

In the world eye we were laurel and hardy,
In our minds we were heathcliff and cathy.
In a moment of wisdom we were a wizard and a witch,
In a moment of freedom we were don quixote and santo.
In reality we were just a boy and a girl who never looked back.

How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How do i tell you?
How could i tell you?
How could i tell you?
You're the one,
You're the one,
You're the one,

You're the one.

Where do we go from here.
Where do we go from here,
Where do we go from here.
If we sweep the bottom of the rivers
We find bodies that shouldn't be there.
If we sweep the courts and offices
We find heads that shouldn't be there.

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here? where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
If we sweep the shelters and asylums,
We'll find women that shouldn't be there.
If we sweep the dark streets and alleys,
We'll find dealers that shouldn't be there.

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.

Why do we miss you so if you're just a speck of dust?

Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for god and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror?
Are we getting ready for god and terror?
Are we getting tired of blood and horror? (where do we go from here?)
Are we getting ready for god and terror? (where do we go from here?)

Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Dingdong hell, pussy in the well,
Cats on the hill, ready to kill.
Ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to, ready to,

Where do we go from here?

I know you now for a thousand years,
Your body still feels nice and warm to me.
The sun is old, the winter's cold,
The lake is shining like a drop of buddha's tears.
The mountains lie in a distance
Like the future we'd never reach
And i kept my warmth with your body close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking on the hillside like a leftover timebomb.

I know you now for what you are,
And my mind still goes through ups and downs with yours.
The moon is clear, the room is bare,
The bed is shining like an old scripture
That's never been opened before
And i keep my warmth with your mind close.

The world must be dead,
We must be the only heads
Ticking in a farmhouse like a forgotten timebomb.

One day we discovered that the clock was not ticking anymore,
And our bodies kept spreading rapidly like a very, very fine tissue
Until it stretched over the whole wide world.

Yang yang holds on to a giant phone,
Yang yang's soft voice goes on and on,
I hate you, i hate you, where did it go wrong?
Yangyang goes talking to himself on the phone.

Yang yang sends his men pebbles and stones,
Yang yang rips his women down to the bones.
I own you, i own you, so give us a song,
Yangyang goes talking to his world on the phone.

Yang yang's born with a phone cord 'round his neck,
Yang yang never fails to stick to his kick.
I want you, i want you, you're making me sick.
But yangyang, the chord's never long enough
To reach your mommy's trick.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, snap out,
Give up, cut out,
Tune up and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

No kick is good enough for lifetime substitution,
No brick will give you a lifetime consolation.
And whether you dig it or not,
We outnumber you in population.
And leave your private institution,
Get down to real communication,
Leave your scene of destruction
And join us in revolution.

Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang yang yang yang,
Yang yang, wake up,
Give up, cut out,
Come out and join us,
Join the revolution,
Join the revolution.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

It's sad that air is the only thing we share,
No matter how close we are there's always air between us.
It's also nice that air's something we all share,
No matter how far apart we are an air links us.

It's sad that past is something we can never share,
No matter how close we are the past is between us.
But it's also nice that without the past
We'd have never known each other,
No matter how far apart we are it brought us together.

Yes, it's very nice to have someone to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our past but we have our future to share.

It's sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear,
No matter how close we are it's easy to despair.
It's also nice that you and i know it's what we all share,
No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care.

There's something very nice to have something to share,
There's something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share.

Yes, there's something very nice to have something to care,
There's something very nice to have someone to share.
We may not share our language but we have the world to share.

He was the king of the zoo, (king of the zoo)
Yes, he was, oh, he was,
Ooooh. (ooooh)

Facing his crowd, his head high and proud,
While they threw breadcrumbs, laughing through their gums.
(doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

He was the king of the zoo, (king of the zoo)
Yes, he was, oh, he was,
Ooooh. (ooooh)

When the gates was closed at night
And no one was in sight,
He would pace around what was called his ground.
Dreaming of the land in his minds eye,
Roaring, roaring to the dark sky.

He was a show (show) stopper,
A mind (mind) topper,
He was a dreamer, (he was a dreamer) he was a king.
Yes, he was, (yes, he was) oh, he was, (oh, he was)
Ooooh, that he was.

Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper,
Show stopper, mind topper.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between chairman mao and richard nixon
If we strip them naked.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between marylin monroe and lenny bruce
If we check their coffins.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between white house and hall of people
If we count their windows.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between raquel welch and jerry rubin
If we hear their heartbeat.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between eldridge cleaver and the queen of england
If we bottle their tears.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between manson and the pope
If we press their smile.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing.

There may not be much diff'rence
Between you and me
If we show our dreams.

We're all water from diff'rent rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet.
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Some day we'll evaporate together.

Hey!

What's the diff'rence?

It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain, (it's gonna rain)
It's gonna rain like you've never seen before.
(it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain)
It's like the heaven packed out, the sky fell out,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
You give me a bowl of pits.
The pits will grow into trees one day,
I'm getting my cherries anyway. (maybe so, maybe so)
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

You say life is a bowl of cherries,
While trying to hide your bowl of pits.
Don't tip my bowl, don't crush my cherries,
One day you'll get your trees and all. (yes, i know, yes i know))
I'm just living on tiptoe, (tiptoe)
Feeling like so-so, (so-so)
Trying not to step on your eggs.
'cause i know, it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.
Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

Shake your vessels, break your pretzels,
It's gonna rain, it's gonna rain.

Early in the morning i feel my pillow,
I listen to the soundless phone.

My thighs are sweaty, freezing inside,
Our bed's empty as ever.

What a bastard you are,
Leaving me all night missing you.

Slowly the door opens, you stand for a while,
See if i'm asleep or just closing my eyes.

I quickly get up and throw my pillows,
Throw an ashtray filled with butts.

Where were you all night if i may ask you so?
Though i don't care at all, i'd just like to know.

Right! you weren't near the phone to call me from,
Or is it you were afraid to wake me up?
I'm sick and tired of listening to the same old crap.

You know half the world is occupied with you pigs,
I can always get another pig like you.
You've heard of female liberation, well, that's for me,
You'll see me walk out one day and then where will you be?

But don't you be too happy,
I ain't walking out yet to give you satisfaction,
I'm first gonna find something other than the walls
To have some human conversation.

Then i'll glow, i'll be happy inside, my limbs will relax.
And i can walk out into the world, singing with my people.

But now i couldn't even move my muscles to go near the door,
I've been sitting here too long and my legs are numb.

Are you listening, you jerk, you pig, you bastard,
You scum of the earth, you good for nothing?

Are you listening?

Oh, don't go, don't go, please, don't go,
I didn't mean it, i'm just in pain.

I'm sorry, i'm sorry.

The door is closed, she's left alone,
Making herself a breakfast.
Her hands are shaking, her eyes looking out,
Watching the trees grow day by day.

What a bastard the world is,
Taking my man away from me,
Taking the world away from me.

Female lib is nice for joan of arc,
But it's a long, long way for terry and jill.

Most of us were taught not to shout our will,
Few of us are encouraged to get a job for skill.
And all of us live under the mercy of male society,
Thinking that their want is our need.

Catman, you're looking cool today,
We say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my hangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So keep your high-heel boots and your knee-high mind,
Come up to my pad and see my work,
Go for a meal and hear my joke,
Or get in a bag and take a poke,
But don't be too clever or we'll kick your fillies in.

Look out, look out,
The rosies are coming to town.
Look out, catman, look out, catman,
The rosies are flashing along.

Catman, we feel a fool today,
I say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my wangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So leave your well polished tail and your uptight suit,
Show us some funnies that are better than daddies,
Or bake us some cakes that are better than mommies,
Or give us your witties that are trapped in your willies,
But don't be too clever or we'll scratch your goodies out.

Watch out, watch out,
The rosies are riding the town.
Watch out, catman, watch out, catman,
The rosies are slashing about.

Catman, shining your tools today,
They say, catman, umm, catman, umm.
My name is rosy and my fangs on you,
Catman, umm, catman.
So save your thigh high thoughts and your banana skin,
We'll burn your pansies and give you a bug,
We'll squeeze your lemon and give you a mug,
We'll cut your daisies and give you a slug,
And don't be too clever or we'll blow your sillies off.

Keep out, keep out,
The rosies are passing the town.
Keep out, catman, keep out, catman,
The rosies are bashing around.

Coochy coochy coo, bunny bunny boo, patti patti poo,
Catman! catman! where are you?

Don't be a prune, catman, give us all you've got.
Your blueberry eyes and your evergreen lies.
'cause after all, by this fall you might grow too old,
And you can't ask your mommy to use an old fruity in her pie.

Patter cake, patter cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as slow as you can.
Pat it, and prick it, and mark it with 'o'
And put it in the oven for me and my mo.

Batter cake, batter cake, baker's girl,
Fake me a cake as fast as you curl.
Bat it, and whip it, and mark it with blood
And throw it in the oven with trickles and mud.

Wetter cake, wetter cake, baker's boy,
Make me a cake that's sweet as your toy.
Wet it, and slick it, and mark it with 'p'
And leave it in the oven for lizzie and me.

Catman! catman!
Hey, dumballs, get me a pair of rubber dolls, will you!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

Man -
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!
Catman!

"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, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

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.

Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,
Ooh - well, well, doo doo doo doo'n'doo,

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.

Once a friend told me of his experience,
That he had loved somebody and in pain,
He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her
And that he was glad that it was over.

He had talked and made love like an expert,
But i had never seen his soul.
And his eyes had a sort of dead smile
As if he wanted me to believe
That he was still alive.

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to chinatown for noodles.

That was many years ago, in another life,
Why do i remember it now?
When i'd heard his story, i'd heard it like a car accident
That i would never be in myself

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to chinatown to noodle.

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la dee la dee la da
Dee la la la

Now that i see my car slipping down the cliff
And i'm desperately looking for the brake...
Don't let it happen to me,
Please, don't let it happen to me,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die...

Remember, when you were young,
How the hero was never hung,
Always got away.

Remember, how the man
Used to leave you empty handed,
Always, always let you down.

If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind-ind,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.

And don't feel sorry
The way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.

Just remember when you were small
How people seemed so tall,
Always had their way, hey, hey.

Do you remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom,
Always, always playing a part.

If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad,
Remember, remember today, hey, hey.

And don't feel sorry
'bout the way it's gone.
Don't you worry
'bout what you've done.

No, no, remember,
Remember,
The fifth
Of november!

Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy,
Direct not to your family,
Waste not on your enemy.
If you turn it to love,
It'll bring you happiness,
Bless you for your anger,
It's a sign of rising energy.

Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability,
Direct not to your family,
Direct not to yourself.
If you turn it to love,
It'll give you happiness,
Bless you for your sorrow,
It's a sign of vulnerability.

Bless you, bless you, bless you,
For the times you feel no love.
Open your heart to breath and live,
In time you'll find love in you.

Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity,
Direct not to your family,
Direct not to the world.
If you turn it to love,
You'll find your happiness,
Bless you for your greed,
It's a sign of great capacity.

Bless you, bless you, bless you,
Bless you for what you are.
Just remember you are loved,
Remember, i love you.

Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I want to climb the sphinx under the moon.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Let's love each other, let's love each other,
No matter how we struggle, we die tomorrow.
I want to caress the new york skyline
And love each other, love each other.

Let's forgive each other, forgive each other,
No matter how we have each other, it's a life that ends tomorrow.
Let's watch the water of the seine pass by
And let's forgive each other, forgive each other.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

Let's have a dream, let's have a dream,
No matter how hard it is, let's survive another day.
I wanna be blown by the willow in ginza.
Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Let's have a dream, let's have a dream.

Wanna love each other,
Wanna hold each other,
Wanna forgive each other,
Wanna meet, wanna meet, wanna meet,
Love, love, love, love,
I miss you!

Konnani kireina
Anatano me.

Your eyes, so beautiful,
Your eyes.

As recorded by david bowie


Fame, makes a man take things over.
Fame, let's him lose, hard to swallow.
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow.
Fame.

Fame,
It's not your brain, it's just a flame,
That burns your change to keep you insane.

Fame.

Fame, what you like is in the limo.
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.
Fame, what you need you have to borrow.
Fame.

Fame,
Now it's mine, it's just his line
To bind your time it drives you to crime.

Fame.

Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, baby?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really be, really, babe?

Is it any wonder
I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame.
Is it any wonder
You are too cool to fool?
Fame.

Fame,
Bully for you,
Chilly for me,
Got to get a raincheck on pain.

Fame.

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame,
Fame, fame, fame, - fame.

What's your name?

(fame, fame)
(fame, fame)

Yes, i'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything
In my magic power.
So make a wish and i'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

You're my fairy,
You give me ev'rything
I ever wanted from life.
Have i made a wish and is that why i have you?
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in pumpkins that turn into princesses
And frogs that turn into princes.
We believe in the moons that smile on us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, i'm so pretty,
You're so dizzy
And we're so happy ev'ry day.
Let's make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

I'm in your pocket,
You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in ev'ry way.
We make a wish and let it come true for us.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

We believe in houses built in the sky,
And love that lift us high.
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulder
And brings our shadows together.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Yes, our hearts are one,
Our bodies, too
And it's so good, mm, ev'rytime.
We make a wish and let it come true for you, too.
Tra-la-la-la-la.

Happy birthday, my love,
I'm your angel,
I'll give you ev'rything in my magic power.
So make a wish and i'll let it come true for you.
Tra-la-la-la-la-la.

Oh, my love, for the first time in my life,
My eyes are wide open.
Oh, my lover, for the first time in my life,
My eyes can see.

I see the wind, oh, i see the trees,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I see the clouds, oh, i see the sky,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

Oh, 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 feel.

I feel sorrow, oh, i feel dreams,
Ev'rything is clear in my heart.
I feel life, oh, i feel love,
Ev'rything is clear in our world.

-"the end of two middle aged"

The years have passed so quickly,
One thing i understood:
I'm only learning tell the trees from wood.


And i know just how you feel,
And i know now what i have done.
And i know that i'm guilty, yes, i am,
But i never could read your mind.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

And i know what's coming down
And i know where it's coming from.
And i know it's getting better all the time
Now we're sharing each others mind.

I know what i was missing,
But now my eyes can see.
Put myself in your place as you did for me.

Today,
I love you more than yesterday-hey,
Right now,
I love you more, right no-oo-oo-oo-ow.

Oooh - oh-oh-oh

No more cry, no more cryin'

Two, one, two, three, four.


People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

When i'm on the phone, i thank god,
My voice sounds smooth and clear without a trace of tear.
When i'm at work, i thank god,
I still have that smile ma used to say lit her day.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

When i'm with people, i thank god,
I can talk hip when i'm crying inside.
When i'm with friends, i thank god,
I can lit a cigarette when i'm choking inside.

People say i'm cool,
Ya', i'm a cool, chick baby.
Ev'ry day i thank god
That i'm such a cool, chick baby.

A friend lent me shades
So i could hide my eyes that day.
Was a snowy day,
The shades have seen a lot of things i didn't want to know myself.

Was like an accident, part of growing up,
People tell me.

But something inside me, something inside me died that day.

What do you do-oo? what can you do?
What do you do-oo? what can you do?

I'm waiting for a boat to help me out of here - mm,
Waiting for a boat to help me out.
The boat that reached my shore was a toyboat - mm,
Waiting for a boat to help me out.

I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen before - mm,
I'm dreaming of a lake i've never seen.
The lake i've seen last was a picture lake - mm,
Dreaming of a lake i've never seen.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

I'm thinking of a castle on a top a hill - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.
The castle i've been to was full of flies - mm,
Thinking of a castle on a top a hill.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

You who are,
You who are,
Help me out, help me out, help me out of here.

"okay."

The town's dawning, i'm the only one awake.
The streets are whistling, i light my fourth cigarette.
I think of my friends, they were once not so dead.
What are they thinking now?

One day i'll be just a little stone,
Nobody'll know that the stone had such emotions.
Anyway, i'm always on the run.
Someday i'll be remembered for the phone calls i never made,
Letters i never mailed,
And stories i never finished telling anyone.

The town's yawning, i let my dog walk me around.
He took a shoot and people smiled,
I tried the same and people frowned.
Yes, it's a dog, dogtown.

One day let's be a pair of trees,
Nobody'll know that the trees had such a history.
Anyway, we'd never be this lonely.
Someday i'll be remembered for the fine words i meant to keep,
A warm smile i meant to leave,
And a true song i meant to finish writing all my life.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge luck, peas porridge stuck,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets paid, some gets grades,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge loved, peas porridge spoiled,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets laid, some gets slayed,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown, dogtown,
Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown -.

The body is the scar of your mind,
The scar turns into a wind of pain.
It passes mountains after mountains,
It passes the cities and my country.

O'wind, o'wind,
Oh, oh, oh, wind, oh, oh...
Oh, o'wind.

But when it passed the world nine times,
The wind turns into a breeze.

O'wind, oh, oh, oh...
O'wind.

Wake up, wake up, the sun is saying,
I know you're still in dream land,
But just come back.
I know you're afraid of me and the days of the world,
But open your eyes and you'll see that i'm shining for you.

Wake up, wake up, the sky is up telling,
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
I know you're afraid of me and the best of the world,
Open your eyes and you'll see that i'm smiling for you.

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm,
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm...

Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me something that's not
Cold, come on, come on, come on!
Give me - ah!

And a bit of tear and flesh.
It's not very much but while it's there,
You can have it,
You can have it.

Potbelly rocker holding his joker
But don't know how to lay a poker.
He carries a guitar, holds on to his bars,
Trying to get his head for the future rock.

Potdizzy rocker gets a rockstockbroker
Who claims he's only a fumble harmer.
With his potfull of stars and handful of cars,
Trying to make his bread from the future stock.

Rocksuck doo-doo,
With a big fat choo-choo,
Don't be a coo-coo.
Gotta get ready for the future shock.

Pothappy rocker, a true blue lover.
His life is full of painful corners.
He blows his horn to the world of thorns,
Trying to make his bed for the future shock,

Potluck lulu
With a hot belly doo-doo,
Don't be a boo-boo.
Gotta get 'em ready for the future shock.

Well, i'm a-cookin',
Just a-cookin',
Cookin' in the kitchen of love,
Cookin' in the kitchen of love,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
I wanna do it, - cookin'.

Well, i'm a-truckin',
Just a-truckin',
Truckin' down the highway of love,
Truckin' down the highway of life,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
Come watch me do it, - truckin'.

Well, we're gonna have a party, (bring yourself)
We're gonna have a party, (just can't get enough)
We're gonna have a party and do some layin' down.

Well, i'm a-rockin',
Just a-rockin',
I'm rockin' in the cradle of love,
Rockin' in the cradle of life,
Lord, lord, ain't nothin' to it,
Come help me do it, - rockin'.

Well, we're gonna have a party,
I said, we're gonna have a party,
We're gonna have a party and do some playin' 'round.

Well, it's got to be high, it's got to be low,
'cause in between we just don't go.
Just gotta sing, (oh!) just gotta dance,
Just gotta listen to the band.

(hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey)
(hey, hey, hey - hey, hey, hey,

Come on, let's have a party and do some layin' down.

Oh, lord! i said we're gonna have such a beautiful party!

This is hell in paradise,
We're all asleep or paralyzed.
Why are we scared to verbalize
Our multicolor dreams?

When will we come to realize,
We're all stoned or pacified,
While the boogie men organize
Their multilevel schemes?

Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.

Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.

Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

This is hell in paradise,
None of us wish to recognize.
But do we want them to materialize
An endangered species?

Exorcise institution,
Exercise intuition,
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss
A fly is just a fly
Right, and we're together
A rose is a rose.

We were waiting for peter, the dealer,
He comes in the evening when we're fussing in bed.
He says, "good morning, here's your breakfast",
And give us plates of stone.
Take a pinta blood each from us to give to the poor.

We count the windows in the cities and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it in the cupboard when you're out.

We were waiting for peter, the wheeler,
He comes in the morning when we're fast asleep.
Gives us a trip that's spending hundred years in a day,
And takes a bone each from us to give to the dogs.

We count the wrinkles on the globe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
And leave it on the shelf when you rap.

We were waiting for peter, the blower,
He comes in when we're fixing snow on rock.
Gives us orange juice laced with sunshine and spring,
And takes a heart each from us to give to the world.

We count the memories that are lost and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Our minds are objects of constipation,
Our bodies are subject to dissipation.
So keep your intentions in a clear bottle
Throw it in the ocean when you go.

We were waiting for peter, the weaver,
He comes in a flash when we're wide awake.
Says the world can't give us answers
'cause it's stuttering in its mind.
Takes a head each off us to give us some peace.

We count the lights in the universe and tell each other,
Yes, life is a helluva lot of waiting time.

Temp'rature's risin', fever is high,
Can't see no future, can't see no sky.

My feet are so heavy, so is my head,
I wish i was a baby, i wish i was dead.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

My body is aching, goose pimple bone.
Can't see nobody, leave me alone.

My eyes are wide open, can't get to sleep,
One thing i'm sure of i'm in at the deep freeze.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Ah, ah.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Thirty-six hours rollin' in pain,
Prayin' to someone, free me again.

Oh, i'll be a good boy, please make me well,
I promise you anything, get me out of this hell.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

Oh,
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh -
Uh-ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Aaahhh -

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no,
Uh-ah, uh-ah, aha-ah-ah...
Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

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 agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

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.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.
Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

Round and round we go-oh-oh-oh,
Round and round we go-oh.

Here we go agai-ai-ai-ain,
Here we go agai-ain.

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car.
People watching her with tender eyes,
Friends whispering in kindly words,
Children running, waving hands,
Telling each other, how pretty she is.

Coffin car, she likes to ride a coffin car.
Friends making ways for the first time,
People throwing kisses for the first time,
Showering flowers, ringing bells,
Telling each other, how nice she is.

Coffin car, she's riding a coffin car.
Wives showing tears for the first time,
Husband taking their hats off for the first time,
Crushing their handkerchiefs, rubbing their nose,
Telling each other, how good she is.

Half the world is dead anyway,
The other half is asleep.
And life is killing her,
Telling her to join the dead.

So ev'ry day, she likes to ride a coffin car,
A flower covered coffin car,
Pretending she was dead.

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.

A thousand years of torture and hunger,
Drove the people away from their land.
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the british brigands!
Goddamned!
Goddamned!

If you could keep voices like flowers,
There's be shamrock all over the world.
If you could drink dreams like irish streams,
Then the world would be as high as the mountain of morn.

In the 'pool they told us the story
How the english divided the land.
Of the pain and the death and the glory
And the poets of auld eireland.

If we could make chains with the morning dew,
The world would be like galway bay.
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns,
The world would be one big blarney stone.

Why the hell are the english there anyway?
As they kill with god on their side!
Blame it all on the kids and the i.r.a.
As the bastards commit genocide!
Aye! aye!
Genocide!

If you had the luck of the irish,
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead.
You should have the luck of the irish,
And you'd wish you was english instead.
Yes, you'd wish you was english instead.

Our mother who art of the universe,
Hallow be thy name.
Thy wisdom reign, thy will is done,
As it is to be.

You gave us life and protection,
And see us through our confusion.
Teach us love and freedom,
As it is to be.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.

For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory forever.
For thy is our wisdom and power,
Glory.

For our future,
Oh, john, let's hope for peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Peace -
Peace, peace,
Let's hope for peace.
Oh, john -
Peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.

John: what we're really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the
Youth, especially the youth or anybody really that's interested in protesting for
Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybody's getting a
Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybody's talking about peace, but nobody's
Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor
Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about
Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna
Just to give people an idea, that there's many ways of protest and this is one of them.
And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for
Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we
Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment
With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and they'd been winning
For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and it's easier for
Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they don't know how to handle
Humour, peaceful humour and that's our message really.

Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?

John: haven't a clue.

Yoko: well, maybe it's still yet to happen, you see. that's why we're trying to do it. in
Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of
Peace through violence, that's what we're trying to do and if we succeed in that,
That's the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because it's never been done and
Nobody has really tried it, you see. and that's what we're trying to do.

Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?

John: how do you mean?

Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?

John: i'd die of fright.

Yoko: i don't think that should happen. you talk as if something's going to happen
Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same
World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any
Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in
The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasn't only
Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world
Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so
That's not gonna happen, if there's war suddenly, that's our fault, you know.

Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during
The second world war? don't you think that they're a little bit more responsible
Than the others?

John: no, not particularly.

Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was really
Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were
Really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you
Know, well, which is almost impossible, i'm sure, but as much as possible and if the
Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, i'm sure.

John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time
Before they made any decision about what to do. i'm not quite sure of the facts, you
Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they could've stopped it earlier,
But they waited until it's on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money,
Their territory.

Questioner: there's a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..

John: no. i don't think so because...

Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.

John: every nation will have a prototype. i think i was out talking to one of the
Austrian tv guys. i said can you name me one european country which hasn't sort of
Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didn't attack
Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, i don't know whether that's
True.

Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...

John: okay, that's bad, i agree that silence is bad. but i mean there isn't one european
Country that hasn't had its hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what
They did to india and south africa, you know.

Yoko: so let's so back to the future, you know. so that's why we're here. we want to
Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people
Who are going to be the next generation. they're going to be the next world, you
Know, and we just want to say we are with them. we're not preaching or anything like
That. we want to be with them and we're with them and in our way, we're just
Announcing that we're open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work
For the world peace, you see, and we're doing it now, in our own way, which we think is
The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as
Before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything,
All the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we
Don't really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, it's going
To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the
Newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.

Questioner: i agree with you, but don't you see, i mean, it's a fact that by through your
Behaviour, i think it's okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get
Suspicious. they don't think that this can be correct, people sitting under a
Tablecloth protesting against wars. they don't think...

Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay,
Go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.

Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?

John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, we're saying we want peace and we're
Staying in bed for peace, but i'm as violent as the next man, and i'm sure yoko is just as
Violent just as well. we're violent people, you know. i prefer myself when i'm non-
Violent. i prefer me friends when they're non-violent. it just makes for easier living
And if we have to have violence, let's channel it, you know.
I don't know how, you know, there's other people can work out how to channel it, or
Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but i don't want to be
Involved in their violence. i prefer to live in peace, you know.

Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and
Take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and you'll be in the news you
See. just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would,
Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do,
But look at john and yoko they're doing worse, so i can do it, you know.
That's all we're trying to do, you see.

Questioner: so you're putting courage, also, into the world?

John: we hope so.

Yoko: i hope so.

John: okay.


Stay in bed!

John: look there's a fly flitting around. just makes you laugh.

Yoko: what time is it?

John: what's the time?

Yoko: what?

John: 9:30.good morning. i was saying about bagism,you see, you get in this bag and you
Jump out the window. next thing you know, you got a policeman on your head. you want tea?

Yoko: you know what i want, john?

John: what; what, what, what. oh, give us a chance! you want one before i do. yes, our
Name got round a lot. could i have room service, please. do you want toast?

Yoko: just tea. which do you want, coffee or tea?

John: tea.

Yoko: tea.

John: two tea's please. yeah, 902 and some toast. yeah, brown toast.
Good morning. yeah, yeah. i know and some toast. brown toast. yeah. thank you. bye, bye.
Alright then....

John: hello, dog. it's beautiful no, no, no. it'll just take a lot of looking after. well
Think about you, amsterdam. it's a lovely dog, huh.

Yoko: yes, it's lovely.

John: thank you very much.

Visitor: here you are.

John: thank you. you gonna take him off me now'!

Visitor: yeah, if you don't mind. thank you very much.

John: i thought you were giving

Visitor: bye, bye. bye, bye. no, no.

John: i sort of was under that impression. she gave us the dog and then went away. very nice.

Yoko: it's rather sort of really swinging though. don't you think so?

John: the thought of the long haired beatle in the 19th century sanctuary. please
Stop this nonsense. go home. we don't like people like you. go to a doctor to be
Normal, you get this? go to a doctor to be normal. we're seeing a psychiatrist today,
So maybe he'll fix us up then. bloody marvellous. we don't get through on some level,
As you notice. was under marijuana. beautiful, beautiful. keep smoking. nothing illegal
Beautiful, beautiful. hey, those kids are as hard as the real press.

Yoko: yes, amazing.

John: amazing. they're just as tough as the real press. very sexy. it's a boy, it's a boy.
Questioner: why are you staying in bed for 7 days?

John: ah, because...

Questioner: well, first of all, let me say congratulations on your marriage and that
In dutch is gefiliciteerd met je getrouw.

John: oh, dank u wel, oh, chocolat!

Questioner: how about explaining this mission you are on at this moment!

John: well, you start...

Yoko: well, because we thought of this idea about staying in bed for 7 days for
Protest against violence in the world.

Questioner: did you think of its geographical situation as being the centre of europe?

John: no, i didn't realise, is it? oh, fantastic! it was magic then, you see, cause the way...

Questioner: well, they call it the centre of europe. it's an advertising campaign for an
Airline.

John: okay, well give us a free ticket and we'll be all right.

Various people: stand up! bend over towards us.
Stand up on your knees, maybe. turn up, turn up on your knees.
As soon as we can ......(unhearable) ....but we need you here

John: so, anyway a policeman came in and an elephant jumped on me head, so i said
What's going on and he said cabbages and the next moment i was on film, yeah.
Love, peace and bed!not forgetting jam of course.
Okay, guess now it's over?

Qustioner: are you cold?

John: no, no, no!

Questioner: yeah, music, you know, if you go back to the days of a, of a, let's see, where do we start now, we start with "do you love me?"

John: not, not particularly.
How about that?

John singing: good bye amsterdam, goodbye.
Stay in bed,
For bed-in,
For peace of the world,
Stay in bed,
Grow your hair.
Grow your hair.
Okay, good night.
Now it's time to say good night,
Good night, sleep tight.
Now the sun puts out his light.

Yoko: what a beautiful day it was though, very tiring, though. it's so turning like
Crazy, you know.

John: you can say that sort of hot?

Yoko: grow your hair.

John: bed peace.

Yoko: hair peace.

John: hair peace, bed peace.
Oh, yeah.

I was sitting in the field, feeling the grass.
Counting the stars as they come out.
Feeling (feeling) the breeze, (feeling the breeze)
Feeling (feeling) the spring. (feeling the spring)
Suddenly i noticed there wasn't light anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run to the light,
Run, run, run, run, run for your life.

I tumbled on roots, stumbled on stones.
Lost my marbles, stepped on my glasses.
Feeling (feeling) the air, (feeling the air)

Suddenly i noticed it wasn't fun anymore.

Run, run, run, run, run towards the light,

Walking on thin ice,
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air.
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?

I gave you my knife,
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?

I may cry some day,
But the tears will dry whichever way.
And when our hearts return to ashes,
It'll be just a story,
It'll be just a story.

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

Ooh-ahooh...

"i knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake,
'course it was winter when all this was ice.
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know.
They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew about it?"

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

No!!

Let me take my scarf off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't help me, (help me)
I can do it and you know it.
Don't touch me, (touch me)
I don't like it.

Let me take my blouse off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't help me, (help me)
I can do it and you know it.
Don't touch me, (touch me)
I don't like it.

You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what you promised,
I know you didn't keep it.

Let me take my pants off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't hold me, (hold me)
I don't want it.
You're thinking of rock hudson when we do it. (let's do it!)

Let me take my ring off,
No, no, no, yes, yes, yes.
Don't do it, (do it!)
I can't do it,
I'm seeing broken glass when we do it. (do it!)

You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what we promised,
But i know we didn't keep it.

You promised me, you promised me,
You promised me, you promised me.
I don't remember what we promised,
But i miss you!

Well, thank you, mr. jitters.
Thank you, mister jitters.

The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste from the filthy war in vietnam. and were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country. wow. sounds like a ballad to me, oh man.
Bankok, thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign ietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea for a ride in thailand. sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communicatin. oh lord, the boat was towed into thai waters by a german freighter and the thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst the only took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision.
Hey, that's deep man.

The chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar deng xiaoping. and said that the country's stable and its leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs., oh this should get me in the village bar.
Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinionsof the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. adding this is nothing terrible. it' bad enough, but its not terrible.
From a prison, richard nixon, on his second trip outside the united states, sent his fesignation with a smiling hand shake politician again. greedy crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little french.
They sure as hell didn't try it on pam nixon., mr. nixon is in paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on french television. they thought of going on to deliver a speech in england, he'll participate in the french collegue program and said he will answer questions in welsh.

That's pretty big mr. m. ahhh, i'm so cynical, i could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. they're gonna be sellin' my socks like judy garland. and i hope that they get a good price. i mean, with the inflation and the price of rice. man, i shouldn't worry, i own all my songs and i wrote them myself too.
I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000.000 fans, a posted system that never fails to land me in jail. and look through my mail. perhaps have a garage sale. and you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? stuck inside of a lexicon with the roger thesaurus blues again.
Sometimes i wish i was just george harrison, you know all the answers, oh my god, oh my god.

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.

Oh, 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 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 tryin' to catch your eyes,
Thought that you was tryin' to hide.
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

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,
Watch out,
I'm just a jealous guy,
Look out, babe,
I'm just a jealous guy.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a phone box round the corner.

I never had a chance to choose my own parents,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always trying not to eat
And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze.

I never had a chance to choose my own name,
I'd never know why i should be stuck with mine.
Mommy's always talkin' 'bout family pride
And daddy's always hiding 'bout his week-end rides.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a station wagon round the block.

I looked at the mirror and told myself,
I'm glad i still don't look like them at least.
Mommy's like a film star in a distorted mirror,
Daddy's like a guy who lost his stomach in the war.

I went to shake hands with the president in miami,
I went to a rock show to see mick jagger.
And you'd never believe it, surprise to my life,
They had paint on their faces just like mommy's.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Daddy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

Trying to talk to them is like eating tv dinner when you're angry,
Trying to get their love is like watching ice cream ad when you're hungry.
They gave me a watch that's guaranteed not to break
But my mommy and daddy broke up last fall.

Am i going crazy or is it just you, daddy?
Am i going nuts or is it just you, mommy?
Am i plain gone or is it the world?
Mommy, i'd rather have you dead than crazy.

All day long i felt like
Smashing my face in a clear glass window.
But instead, i went out
And smashed up a church yard round the corner.

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All i know is we're here today.

I've got nightmares i could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye,
We may go our separate ways some day,
But we know we shared our dreams today.

I've got nightmares i would never wish on you,
The kind that keeps me down all day.
So hold me tight till the sky is light
And tell me that it's all right.

(oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - oh-oh-oh)

Never say goodbye,
Never say goodbye.

Yoko!!
(it's getting light)

Mummy, mummy.

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's in constant hell.
No love or pill could keep her cool,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her heart.

And the wind of the past blows through her heart,
Reminding her of the people she killed.
Wind of now blows off her cool,
Telling her there's something she's missed.

You know the town of sapporo, she says,
Where the men talk rough and never sing.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

In this approximately infinite universe,
I know a girl who's raising constant hell.
No love or bottle could fix her good,
'cause there's a thousand holes in her head.

And the wind of the future blows through her head,
Saying there's no point of return.
The wind of the universe blows off her soul,
Telling her there's nowhere to go.

I wanna sleep, wanna sleep, she says,
And take her fix to bed.
Two bottles of loneliness
Patching the holes in her dream.

Recorded live at the madison square garden, new york, n.y. 30 august 1972


We go back in the past just once.
You might remember this better than i do, actually.

He got hair down to his knee.
Got to be a joker, 'cause he's so hard to please.

Shoot!

He wear no shoeshine,
He got walrus gumboot,
He got monkey fingers,
He shoot coca cola,
He say, "i know you, you know me.
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free."

Come together,
Right now,
Over you.

He bag production,
He got ono sideboard,
He one spinal cracker,
He got early what?
'cause he say hair beneath, under his feet,
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.

Come together,
Right now,
Over me.

(shoot!)
(shoot!)
(shoot!)

Ow!

He roller coaster,
He got early warning,
He got muddy water,
He one mojo filter,
He say, "one and one and one is three."
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see.

Come together,
Right now,
Over me,
Over you,
Over there.

Come together,
Come together,
Come together,
Come together, right!


Thank you, thank you.
I nearly got all the words right, too!

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 need. need, need her.

Just like a willow tree,
A breath of soaring, 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,
I love her,
I love her,
I love her,
I love her.

Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love,
Sweet, sweet - sweet, sweet love.


Ah, god, i love.

A one, a two, a one, two, three, four!

This here is the story about a househusband who, you know,
Just want to get out of the house, has been looking at you,
You, know, the kids, days and days, he's been watching the
Kitchen and screwing around or whatever it has to be till
He's gone crazy!

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 sky.

I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out,
I'm stepping out, yeh!

If it don't feel right, you don't have to do it.
Just leave a message on the phone and tell them to screw it.
And after all is said and done,
You can't go pleasin' ev'ryone so screw it.

Uh-uh-uh,

Goodbye.

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 it.

We make her paint her face and dance,
If she won't be a slave and say that she don't love us.
If she's real, we say she's tryin' to be a man,
While puttin' 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,
Oh yeah, better scream about it, yeah!

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.

Oh, 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.
Oh, woman is the slave to the slave,
Yeah, all right.

Hit it!

We insult her ev'ry day on tv,
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence.
When she's young, we kill her will to be free,
While tellin' her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb.

Oh well, 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 slaves,
Yes, she is,
If you believe, we'd better scream about it!
Uh, uh, uh, hey, hey.

We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance,
We make her paint her face and dance.

Greenfield morning i pushed an empty
Baby carriage all over the city.

Greenfield morning i pushed an empty
Baby carriage all over the city.

Make love, not war
I know, you've heard it before.
Make love, not war
I know, you've heard it before.

Love is the answer,
And you know that it's true,
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

-"alright, boys, this is it, over the hill!"

We don't care what flag you're waving,
We don't even want to know your name.
We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
All we know it that you came.
Your making all our decisions,
We have just one request of you,
That while you're thinking things over,
Here's something you just better do.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
Don't despair, paranoia's ev'rywhere.
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
So let's shout it aloud like a prayer.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

We understand your paranoia,
But we don't wanna play your game.
You think you're cool and know what you're doing,
666 is your name.

So while you jerking off each other,
You better bear this in mind;
Your time is up, you better know it,
But maybe you don't read the signs.

Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it (do it) now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Free the people now, (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill,
And you still gotta swallow your pill,
As you slip and you slide down the hill
On the blood of the people you killed.

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it)
Do! (do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
(do it, do it, do it, do it)

Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now)
(do it, do it, do it, do it)
Stop the killing!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it, do it)
(do it, do it) do it, do it, do it.
Bring on the lucie!
(free the people now) (do it, do it, do it)

To know, know, know her

Ev'ryone said there'll come a day
When i, i walk along side of her.

That she was meant just for me, oh yeah.

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,
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry 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,
Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.
Darling, darling, darling, darling, sean.


Good night, sean,
See you in the morning.

Forgive me, my love,
For hiding my soul from you.
It seems easier for us
If i don't show all of myself.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We lay an ocean between us.

Forgive me, my love,
For closing my eyes to our love.
It seems easier for us
If we thought this was just a play.

How am i gonna tell you how i miss you?
How am i gonna tell you how i need you?
Through pride and hurt and love and fear
We hold an ocean inside us.

Let me take your hand
And press it on my breast
And you will know that
The ocean is for you.

Multicolor dreams.

Multilevel schemes.

Underqualified for love,
Overqualified for life,
Sticking our heads in slime,
Thinking we're in our prime.

Mesmerized by mythology,
Hypnotized by ideology,
Antagonized by reality,
Vandalized by insanity,
Desensitized by fraternity,
Sanitized by policy,
Jeopardized by lunacy.

Penalized by apathy
And living in the world of fantasy.
Dancing on hot coal, waiting for the last call,
It's adam's ball, eve's call.

Wake up, shake up, check out, work out, speak out,
Reach out, it's time to, time to, time to,
To, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.

An endangered species?

Exorcise institution,
Exercise intuition,
Mobilize transition,
With inspiration for life.

It ain't fair, john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air.
Won't you care for john sinclair,
In the stir for breathing air?
Let him be, set him free,
Let him be like you and me.

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free.

If he'd been a soldier man,
Shooting gooks in vietnam,
If he was the c.i.a.,
Selling dope and making hay,
He'd be free, they'd let him be,
Breathing air like you and me.
Right on!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the judges do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

They gave him ten for two,
They got old lee otis too!
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free now!

Was he jailed for what he done
Or representing ev'ryone?
Free john now, if you can,
From the clutches of the man.
Let him be, lift the lid,
Bring him home to his wife and kids.
Alright!

They gave him ten for two,
What else can the bastards do?
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got,
We got, we got, we got, we got, we got to set him free, free!

Mother, you had me but i never had you.
I, i wanted you, you didn't want me.
So i, i just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.

Father, you left me but i never left you.
I needed you, you didn't need me.
So i, i just gotta tell you, mm,
Goodbye, goodbye.

Children, don't do what i have done.
I couldn't walk and i tried to run.
So i, i just gotta tell you,
Goodbye, goodbye.

Mama, don't go,

All the little girls and boys,
Playing with their little toys,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

All the little boys and girls,
Living in this crazy world,
All they really needed from you is maybe some love.

Why must we be alone?
Why must we be alone?
It's real love,
Yes, it's real.

I don't expect you to understand,
The king above heaven is in your hand.
I don't expect you to awake from your dreams,
Too late for pride now it seems.

All the little plans and schemes,
Nothing but a bunch of dreams,
All you really needed to do is maybe some love.

Hey, yoko!

Imagine a grapefruit and squeeze it on me.

Ah!

You say mustn't do this and that,
You say can't do this and that
While you're losing your pants in a bullet-proof car,
Losing your hair in a downtown bar.
Oh, forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you're my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh - listen!

You say mustn't have this and that,
You say can't have this and that
While you're losing your apple and squeezing our balls,
Losing your mind and crawling up the walls.
Oh, forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you're my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh -

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
Ooh - listen!

Ooh -
Oh yeah, do you wanna touch me, oh yeah
Do you wanna break your mind, boy?

?

You're a dildo, i'm a whore,
I'm a barbie, you're a hore.
Living in a glass house, having fun,
Lying in a glass house watching the sun.
Forget it, just forget it,
It's the curse, you are my curse, it could be worse.

I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
I'm just talking to the universe,
