John Lennon Anthology lyrics

Ain't She Sweet?
Oh no, ain't she ... no, hang on, injection
Oh me oh mum ain't that perfection?

I repeat now!

Ain't she nice?
Well, look her over once or twice.
Well, I ask you very ...........?...........,
Ain't she nice.

(Scat sing)

- "Ha ha ha"
- "Shall we record that, John?"

Uh,
ow!
Yeah.

The night we met I knew I needed you so,
and if I had the chance I never let you go.
So won't you say you love me,
I'll make you so proud of me,
we'll make them turn their heads ev'ry place we go.

So won't you, please, (be my, be my baby)
be my little baby, (my one and only, baby)
say you'll be my darling, (be my, be my baby)
be my baby now, (my one and only, baby)
oh, oh, oh.

Dear John,
don't be hard on yourself.
Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.
The race is over, you've won.

Dear John,

Give yourself a break.
Life wasn't meant to be run.

One sentence about the next act.
Yesterday I said I was concerned we weren't
Really raising enough money so he looked at me and said
Not only will we perform for free but we'll give you
$6

.....Last night, ah-hah-hah,
she was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah....
-oh gee! I'm worn out! Can we try another, can you hear what he's saying?

I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah,
she was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah,
up come a butcher with her ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah,
it's all da-da-da-down to goodnight vienna.

When I was a little boy
Way back home in Liverpool
My mama told me I was great

Then when I was teenager
I knew that I had got something going
All my friends told me I was great

And now I'm a man
A woman took me by the hand
And you know what she told me I was great

I was the greatest show on earth
For what it was worth
Now I'm only thirty-two
And all I wanna do
Is boogaloo, hey

(Instrumental)

John and Yoko, let's hear it!
John Lennon, John Lennon, Yoko!
Let's hear them, let's get a bow, John Lennon, John, Yoko!
(Audience) John! John! John! John!.....
John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John, Yoko, John....
I'll tell you what, Oh, cool it, cool it!
I would suspect that John Lennon is probably one of the
Wisest showman I've ever met
He knows what he's doin'!
He did two things, he did two...shhhh!

We'd like to welcome you here to the Dakota Country And Western Club
And in return for Miss Yoko Ono's wonderful gift of a very strange...
I'd like,this morning, to sing you a little ditty that occured to
me in the throes of my sleep
It's called "Life Begins At 4

-"Hmm, I think the piano maybe is better
I just realised the ......?..........hmm....hello, Yoko...Yeah!".

Well, he's long, long, lost john
long, long, lost john.

Lost john standing by the railroad track
a-waitin' for the freight train to come back.
The freight train come back but never made a stop
lost john thought he'd have to ride the top
Well, he's long, long, lost john

Oh, dirty maggie mae,
they have taken her away,
and she'll never walk down lime street any more.

Oh, the judge he guilty found her
of robbin' the homeward bounder,
that dirty, no good, robbin' maggie mae.

'Tis the part of liverpool
north of liverpool;
two pounds ten a week, that was my pay.
Oh, something down,
went down on number nine,
It'was down in kelly's pornshop, number nine.

Oh, I promise, yes, I promise you
I'll Never, never hurt you again.
Yes, I make a solemn promise
Oh yeah, I'll never hurt you again

'Cause love is the answer,
And you know that it's true
Oh yeah, Yoko.

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.

One, two, a one, two, three, four

Well now the underground and overjoyed they come on just the same
Don't wanna get too real man, just wanna play the game
I guess ya knew it all along we were just singing in the rain
Can't get hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet
And if it sinks, you know that all you really get is wet!

Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well

Don't be afraid,
it's just the wind and light.
Don't be afraid,
this house is very strange.
In the morning we'll be gone, don't be afraid.

We'll watch the dawn till the sun comes up,
drinking coffee from our favourite cup.
Girl, you've been good to me so don't be afraid tonight.

Don't be afraid,
it's just the cats at play.
Don't be afraid,
they do it night and day, how very strange.

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.

My life, take it, it's mine to give.
Take it, let me live in you.
My life, take it, it's yours.
Do what you will, I dedicate it to you.

What's the use in waking
if you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?

My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way.
We'll make it any way.
Take it, my life,
my life is you.

What's the use in waking

(P) - "So, here we go!"
(J) - "What? What?
(P) - "We're doing one"
(J) - "How's it going? How's it going?"
(P) - "Wait a minute, something's going, wait a minute!"
(J) - "Yeah! Yeah! I can't read this writing!"
(P) - "What is that tweetin' bird out there? For God's sake! There's a bird! God damn it out there!

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?

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.

- "Good"
- "That's my favourite song"
- "Very good"
- "Who was singing "I need somebody to love", you?
- "It was Ringo but Paul and I was singing with him."
- "What's this song called?"
- "What's it called? I've forgotten what it's called..."

What would you think if I sang out a song...

- "YEAH! I like it very loud!"
- "Well, that's how I like it too"
- "Can't you make it more louder?"
- "I can't make it any louder than it is, it's on full you see."

Here in this lonely room,
late in the afternoon
dreaming my life away-hey.
Don't answer the telephone,
I'm not home receiving you.

Here in the afternoon,
alone in some stranger's room,
what am I doing here at all?
No need to over do it,
I'm bleeding now,
I'm bleeding now.
Stop the bleeding now,
stop the bleeding now.
Oozing out
dripping down
table's silent shout.
Aghhh!

Stop the bleeding now.

-"We're just gonna...
Welcome back, welcome back with John and Yoko, Yoko and John
This song is written by, the John Sinclair song, who wrote that song?
-"Ah, John Sinclair, I wrote this one. He spent two years in prison
Virtually in isolation and solitary, in case he infiltrated the other
Prisoners or something. He didn't want any help for two years

Hello, hello, testing, testing...

At this time of year...oh, let me first introduce myself.
Maybe you have heard me before, i am the great wok.
And as you know, the great wok must be done.
Now, at this time of year when brahama is in brahma...
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

- "Alright, the happy Rishi Kesh Song"

All you need to do
is to say this little word,
I know it sounds absurd
but it's true.
The magic's in the mantra,
we'll give you all the answers
so swallow this,
that's all you've got to do.

Ev'rything you need is here,
and ev'rything that's not here,
is not there.
And yet there's something missing
in this god almighty plan,
could it be you need a woman?

Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright
It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no

Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright
Do it wrong or do it right 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm

I need a beginning
Right!
Here we go!
Rock and roll with it
When in doubt... fuck it!
No.. no... you can't not control your prick!
