Blue Suede Shoes
Carl Lee Perkins
Well, it's a one for the money, two for the show,
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, you can knock me down, step in my face,
Slander my name all over the place;
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, you can burn my house, steal my car,
Drink my liquor from the old fruit jar.
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.
Well, hey!
Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off my blue suede shoes.

Yer Blues
John Lennon
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Wanna die yeah wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
Cold Turkey
John Lennon
Temperature's rising
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 no body
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
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying 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
Instant Karma
John Lennon

Mother
John Lennon
Mother, you had me I never had you
I wanted you but you didn't want me
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, 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, goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk so I tried to run
So I got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Hold on
John Lennon
Hold on John, John hold on

I Found out
John Lennon
I told you before, stay away from my door
Don't give me that brother, brother, brother, brother
No!
I found out!
Now that I showed you just what I've been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus don't come from the sky
Now that I found out I know I can cry
I found out!
Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand
Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man
I heard something about my ma and my pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star
I found out!
Old Hare Krishna ain't got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with with pie in the sky
There ain't no guru who can see through your eyes
I found out!
I seen the junkies I've been through it all
I've seen religons from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
Can't do you no harm feel your own pain
I found out!
Working Class Hero
John Lennon
As soon as your 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
When 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be
There's room at the top I'm 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
Working Class Hero is something to be
Yes , 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 me
Isolation
John Lennon
People say we got it made don't they know we're so afriad
We're afraid to be alone, everbody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
All the world is a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But the again you're not to blame
your just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afrain of everyone, afraid of the sun
Isolation
The Sun will never disappear
But the world my not have many years
Isolation
Remember
John Lennon
Remember when you were young
How the hero was never hung
Always got away
Remember the man
Used to leave you empty handed
Always , always let you down
If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind
Remember, remember Today
Don't you worry
'Bout what you've done
Don't feel sorry
'Bout the way it's gone
Remember
When you were small
How people seemed so tall
Always had their way
Remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom
Always, always playing a part
If you ever feel sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Remember, remember today

John Lennon
Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love

We talked of womens liberation
And how the hell we could get thing done

And neither one of us knew just why
Well well well oh well

Imagine
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 religon too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In 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 some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Crippled Inside
John Lennon
You can shine you're shoes
And wear a suit
You can comb your hair
And look quite cute
You can hide your face
Behind a smile
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
You wear a mask
And paint your face
You can call yourself
The human race
You can wear a collar
And a tie
But the one thing you
Can't hide is when you're
Crippled inside
Well now you know that your
Cat has nine lives babe
Nine loves to itself
But you only got one
And a dog life ain't no fun
Mamma take a look outside.
You can go to church
And sing a hymn
Judge me by the color
Of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
Jealous Guy
John Lennon
I was dreaming of a past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt
I'm sorry that i made you cry
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling inscure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
It's So Hard
John Lennon
You got to live
You got to love you got to be
Somebody you got to shove
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down
You got to eat
You got to drink
You got to feel something
You got to worry
It's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down
But when it's good it's oh so good
And when i hold you in arms baby
Sometimes i feel like going down
You got to run
You got to hide
You got to keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes i feel like going down
Give Me Some Truth
John Lennon
I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight-short sighted-arrow minded hypocritics
All i want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of reading things by nuerotic-pyschotic-pig headed politicians
All i want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No 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 rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things from tight lipped-condescending -mommies little chauvinists
All i want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes of schizophrenic - ego - centric - paranoic - prima - donnas
All i want is the truth
Just give me some truth
Oh My Love
John Lennon
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
Everything is clear in my heart
Isee the clouds, oh i see the sky
Everything 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
Everything is clear in my heart
Everything is clear in our world
I feel life, oh i feel love
How Do You Sleep?
John Lennon
So sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jum when your mamma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you've gone it's just another day
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something all those years
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
How?
John Lennon
How can I go forward when I don't know which way Im facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I 'm not sure of?
Oh no, oh no.
How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
O oh no, oh no.
How can I give love when I don't know what it is Im giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Oh no, oh no.
You know life can be long
And you got to be strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough.
Oh no, oh no.
How can we go forward when I don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no, oh no.
Oh Yoko!
John Lennon
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 on
In the middle of the bath
In the middle of the bath I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
Mmy love will turn you on
In the middle of a shave
In the middle of a shave I call your name
Oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will turn you on
In the middle of a dream
In the middle of a dream I call your name

Woman is the Nigger of the World
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 it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won’t be 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 is above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better screem about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother then
We tell her home is the only place she would 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 belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)
We insult her everyday 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 dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don’t belive me take a look to the one you’re with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
New York City
John Lennon
Standing on the corner
Just me and Yoko Ono
We was waiting for jerry to land
Up come a man with the guitar in his hand
Singing "have a marijuana if you can"
His name was Davis Peel
And we found that he was real
He sangs"The pope smokes dope everyday"
Up come a police man shoved us up the street
Singin, "power to the people today!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
Well we went 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 preachman trying to be a teacher
Singing "God’s a red herring in grag!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
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 ud 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 Ny?...Que pasa NY?NYC down in the village
What a bad-ass city!
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
John Sinclair
John Lennon
It ain’t fair, John Sinclair
In the stir of breathing air
Won’t you care for John Sinclair?
In the stair of breathing air.
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me.
They give him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta.....gotta, set him free.
If he had been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He’d be free, they’d let him be
Breatthing air, like you and me
They gave me ten for two
What more can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta....gottta set him freee.
Was he jailed for what he done?
Representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
From the clutches oof the man
Let him free, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids.
They gave me ten for two
What more can the bastards do?
Gotta, gotta...gotta set him free..
Come Together
John Lennon
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger 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 me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
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
Hound Dog
Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time;
you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said that you was highclassed,
that was just a lie;
when they said that you was highclassed,
that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught no rabbit,
you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time;
you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time.
You ain't never caught no rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time;
you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine.
Well, they said that you was highclassed,
well, that was just a lie;
well, they said that you was highclassed, babe,
you know it's a lie.
You ain't never caught no rabbit,
you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time;
you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,
cryin' all the time.
Elvis, I love you!!
You ain't never caught no rabbit
you ain't no friend of mine.
Mind Games
John Lennon
We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games together
Projecting our images in space and in time
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games together
Raising the spirit of peace and love
(I want you to make love, not war
I know you've heard it before)
Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)
John Lennon
When I'm down really yin
And I don't know what I'm doing
Aisumasen Yoko
All I had to do was call your name
And when I hurt you and cause you pain
Darling I promise I won't do it again
Aisumasen Yoko
It's hard enough I know just to feel your own pain
All that I know is just what you tell me
All that I know is just what you show me
When I'm down real sanpaku
And I don't know what to do
Aisumasen Yoko san
All I had to do was call your name
Yes, all I had to do was call your name
One Day (at a Time)
John Lennon
You are my weakness, you are my strength
Nothing I have in the world makes better sense
Cause I'm the fish and you're the sea
When we're together or when we're apart
There's never a space in between the beat of our hearts
Cause I'm the apple and you're the tree
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for you
You are my woman, I am your man
Nothing else matters at all, now I understand
That I'm the door and you're the key
And every morning I wake in your smile
Feeling your breath on my face and the love in your eyes
Cause you're the honey and I'm the bee
One day at a time is all we do
One day at a time is good for us two (you too)
Intuition
John Lennon
My intentions are good, I use my intuition
It takes me for a ride
But I never understood other people's superstition
It seemed like suicide
And as I play the game of life
I try to make it better each and every day
And when I 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
I 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 everywhere
Out the Blue
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 me
Every day I thank the Lord and Lady
For the way that you came to me
Anyway it had to be two minds
One destiny
All my life's been a long slow knife
I was born just to get to you
Anyway I survived long enough
To make you my wife
Like 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 me
