NOBODY LOVES YOU (WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT)
John Lennon
I'LL SCRATCH YOUR BACK AND YOU'LL SCRATCH MINE
Oh wonderful, wonderful.
-"19!"
-"Do it the other way"
NOBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT,
NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE ON CLOUD NINE.
EV'RYBODY'S HUSTLIN' FOR A BUCK AND A DIME,
I'LL SCRATCH YOUR BACK AND YOU SCRATCH MINE.
I'VE BEEN ACROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE,
I'VE SHOWN YOU EV'RYTHING, I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE.
BUT STILL YOU ASK ME, DO I LOVE YOU?
WHAT IT IS? WHAT IT IS?
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS IT'S ALL SHOW BIZ,
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS IT'S ALL SHOW BIZ.
WHAT IT IS? WHAT IT IS? WHAT IT IS.
NOBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT,
NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE ON CLOUD NINE.
EV'RYBODY'S HUSTLIN' FOR A BUCK AND A DIME,
I'LL SCRATCH YOUR BACK AND YOU KNIFE MINE.
I'VE BEEN ACROSS THE WATER NOW SO MANY TIMES,
I'VE SEEN THE ONE-EYED WITCHDOCTOR LEADING THE BLIND.
BUT STILL YOU ASK ME, DO I LOVE YOU?
WHAT YOU SAY? WHAT YOU SAY?
EV'RY TIME I PUT MY FINGER ON IT, IT SLIPS AWAY,
EV'RY TIME I PUT MY FINGER ON IT, IT SLIPS AWAY.
WHAT YOU SAY? WHAT YOU SAY? WHAT YOU SAY? WHAT YOU SAY?
WELL, I GET UP IN THE MORNING
AND I'M LOOKING IN THE MIRROR TO SEE, OO-WEE!
THEN I'M LYING IN THE DARKNESS
AND YOU KNOW I CAN'T GET TO SLEEP, OO-WEE!
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR.
NOBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE OLD AND GREY,
NOBODY NEEDS YOU WHEN YOU'RE UPSIDE DOWN.
EV'RYBODY'S HOLLERIN' 'BOUT THEIR OWN BIRTHDAY,
EV'RYBODY LOVES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SIX FOOT IN THE GROUND.

NOBODY TOLD ME
John Lennon
- "Going on one"
- "Ok! A one, two, three, four!"
EV'RYBODY'S TALKING AND NO ONE SAYS A WORD,
EV'RYBODY'S MAKING LOVE FOR NO ONE REALLY CARES.

THERE'S A LITTLE YELLOW IDOL TO THE NORTH OF KATMANDU.
HEY NOW, EV'RYBODY'S FLYING AND NO ONE LEAVES THE GROUND,
WELL, EV'RYBODY'S CRYING AND NO ONE MAKES A SOUND.
THERE'S A PLACE FOR US IN MOVIES, YOU JUST GOTTA LAY AROUND.
NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,
NOONE TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,
NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,
STRANGE DAYS INDEED,
STRANGE DAYS INDEED,
MOST PECULIAR, MAMA!
WELL NOW, EV'RYBODY'S SMOKING AND NO ONE'S GETTING HIGH,
EV'RYBODY'S FLYING AND NEVER SEE THE SKY.

NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,
NOONE TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,
NOBODY TOLD ME THERE'D BE DAYS LIKE THESE,

THE DAY OF BRAHMA IS SET TO LAST ONE THOUSAND YEARS AND ITS NIGHT IS OF EQUAL LENGTH.
WELL, FOR US HUMAN BEING, THIS IS THE END OF THE YEAR NOW
AND OUR MINDS TURNS TOWARDS WHAT IS LAUGHABLY CALLED THE FUTURE.
NO MIND CAN COMPREHEND THE INFINITE AND ABSOLUTE ANON MUNSCH MARS STUNVELLY HUMPFF,
AS WE SAY IN THE HIMALAYAS.
NOW LET5 ME TELL YOU, MY RESOLUTION OF THE YEAR 1979 IS TO RENOUNCE COMPLETE EVERYTHING,
BUT COMPLETE LUXURY AND SELF INDULGANCE.
NOW I SUGGEST THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY DIFFICULT, VERY DIFFICULT INDEED.
I FEEL IT'S MY DUTY, NOT ONLY AS A HUMAN BEING BUT AS A PERSON
OR WAS IT NOT GEORGE FORMY WHO SAID THERE ARE FOUR BILLION THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION
MORTAL OR EARTH YEARS WHICH IS ONE DAY OF BRAHMA.
SO, ONE WAY OF LOOKING AT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TO LOOK AT IT AT ALL.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NOW.
SO WE'LL SETTLE DOWN, DEEPLY, I HOPE, AND COMFORTABLY IN AN EASY CHAIR
AND THEN, LAY BACK, PUT THE INCENSE ON, LIGHT THE CANDLES AND GIVE YOURSELF A HARD TIME.

MUCHO MUNGO, SWEET THING,
SWEETEST LITTLE THING I'VE EVER SEEN.
MUST HAVE BEEN A SWEET DREAM,
BROUGHT YOU HERE,
BROUGHT YOU THROUGH THE SORROW
AND THE TEARS.
C'EST LA, C'EST LA, C'EST LA VIE,
SAIL UPON THE OCEAN, SAIL WITH ME.
SAIL INTO TOMORROW EV'RY DAY,
SAIL IT TO THE SUNSHINE THROUGH THE HAZE.

SATIRE #1
LORD, TAKE THIS MAKEUP OF OFF OF ME.
I SAID, "LORDY, LORDY, LORDY, TAKE THIS MAKEUP OFFA ME."
IT'S BAD ENOUGH ON THE BEACH,
BUT IT'S WORSE IN THE SEA.
BECAUSE I'M KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR.
BECAUSE I'M LOOKIN' FOR MY MA.
I SAID, "MA, TAKE THESE GUNS AWAY FROM ME."
I SAID, "MA, TAKE THESE GUNS AWAY FROM ME."
I GOT SO THIN NOW, THEY'RE DRAGGIN' ME DOWN TO MY KNEES.
OH YEAH, MAN, DO YOU MR. JONES?
TOWN,
NOW I'VE BEEN HERE SO LONG, I ALMOST FORGOT MY NAME.
I SAID, "LORD I BEEN HERE SO LONG I ALMOST FORGOT MY NAME."
BUT AS LONG AS I KEEP TOURING,
I'LL ALWAYS BE IN THE GAME, FAME, BRAIN, SHAME AND FAME AND GAME, FAME, FAME....
SATIRE #2
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.
SATIRE #3

I'D JUST WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS MESSAGE.

-"In 1973, We didn't have this house, yet, That's when we bought this house"
-"Oh!"
-"Two years before you were born";
-"Oh, And I just wasn't coming with you? To find this house?"
-"No, well you weren't born yet. You wwere still in the sky."
-"Oh, and when I came back, was down hhere, what did I went in?"
-"A little, a little cardboard box. Wiith a little blanket in, little teeny tiny
teeny tiny little boy in a little tiny cardboard box. They used to have apples in it, hmm
You used to do this here."
-"A apple box!"
-"Well, a little cardboard box, you see. Like they bring groceries in. And it was you instead of the groceries.
