"Milk And Honey" was the planned followup to John Lennon's and Yoko Ono's "Double Fantasy" album and work began on it during those same sessions. Unfortunately, John wasn't around to see it finished, but Yoko released the work in progress on Jan. 19, 1984 (US) and Jan. 23, 1984 (UK).
Track Listing
- I'm Stepping Out
John Lennon
Woke up this morning blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
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
After all is said and done you can't go pleasin' everyone
So screw it...
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out baby
I'm stepping out
Baby's sleeping the cats have all been blessed
Ain't nothing doing on TV (summer repeats)
Put on my space suit I got to look my best
I'm going out to do the city
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out babe
I'm stepping out (boogie)
I'm stepping out (hold it down)
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping out
Gotta gotta gotta gotta get out
I'm stepping out babe
Just awhile
Ain't been out for days...
- Sleepless Night
Yoko Ono
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Legs
What am I going to do with my legs
They're so hot
They won't stay on the cot
And they're screaming!
Sleepless night
The moon is bright
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
Head
What am I going to do with my head
It's so light
It just gives me the fright
It's full of champagne and dreams
Sleepless night
All um umm
All I'm asking for is
Three minute love
This brush must sell like crazy
I mean there's a lot of lonely people out there
I wanna go to the ball
I wanna give it all
I'll take it all
Sleepless night
All I'm asking for is...
What am I asking for?
- I Don't Wanna Face It
John Lennon
Say you're looking for a place to go
Where nobody knows your name
You're looking for oblivion
With one
Eye on the Hall of Fame
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it no no no no
Well I can dish it out
But I just can't take it
Say you're looking for some peace and love
Leader of a big old band
You wanna save humanity
But it's people that you just can't stand
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it no no no no
Well I can sing for my supper
But I just can't make it
Well now you're lookin' for a world of truth
Trying to find a better way
The time has come to see yourself
You always look the other way
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it no no no no
Well I can see the promised land
And I know I can make it!
I don't wanna face it I know
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it oh no
I don't wanna face it
I don't wanna face it
I just can't face it no more
Every time I look in the mirror
I don't see anybody there
- Don't Be Scared
Yoko Ono
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
Better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared
Don't be shy
Don't be shy
Don't be shy to tell
You may lose the chance to tell
Don't be shy
When your hearts are lit
Drop your survival kit
Then you never have to
Run or split
Sun in the east
Moon in the west
This boat's moving slow
There's no land in sight at all
Away we go
Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
It's better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared
- Nobody Told Me
John Lennon
Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed
Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Nobody told me there'd be days like these
Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama
- O' Sanity
Yoko Ono
It's only sane to be insane
Psychotic builds a castle
And neurotic lives in it
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at the verge of calamity
O' sanity, o' sanity
What am I to do with you
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But you're always standing behind me like a devil in hell
O' sanity, o' sanity
Why don't you let me go
Let go, let go, cut it out!
- Borrowed Time
John Lennon
When I was younger
Living confusion and deep dispair
When I was younger ah hah
Living illusion of freedom and power
When I was younger
Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend)
When I was younger ah hah
Everything simple but not so clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Now I am older
The more that I see the less that I know for sure
Now I am older ah hah
The future is brighter and now is the hour
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Good to be older
Would not exchange a single day or a year
Good to be older ah hah
Less complications everything clear
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
Without a thought for tomorrow

- (Forgive Me) My Little Flower Princess
John Lennon
Forgive me my little flower princess
For crushing your delicateness
Forgive me, if you could forgive me
Forgive me my little flower princess
For selfishness
Forgive me, forgive me
Well I know there is no way to repay you
Whatever it takes I will try to
The rest of my life I will thank you (thank you, thank you)
My little...
If you'll forgive me my little flower princess
Never too late unless you can't forgive...
Time is on our side
Let's not waste another minute
'Cause I love you my little friend
I really love you
Give me just one more chance
And I'll show you -- take up the dance
Where we left off
The rest of our life is the...my little
(I'm home)
- Let Me Count The Ways
Yoko Ono
Let me count the ways how I love you
It's like that gentle wind you feel at dawn
It's like that first sun that hits the dew
It's like that cloud with a gold lining telling us softly
That it'll be a good day, a good day for us
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Let me count the ways how I miss you
It's like that oak tree in my childhood garden
It's like that first summer I spent in Egypt
It's like that warm evening you read to me
Both knowing deeply
That it's a good time, a good time for us
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Let me count the ways how I see you
It's like that lake in the mountain you heard about
It's like that autumn sky that stays so blue
It's like that air around me that holds me gently
Whispering strongly that you're always there, always for me
Thank you, thank you, thank you
- Grow Old With Me
John Lennon
Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
God bless our love
- You're The One
Yoko Ono
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's 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 Quijote and Sancho
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 can I tell you
How could I tell you
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one...
