Artist #1- John Lennon

Songs and ratings, with one being the lowest, five being the highest.

John Lennon:

1. Working class hero-***

fav lyrics:

When they're tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function, you're so full of fear!

The rebel in me wants me to dedicate this to the parents! Kinda mean, i know, but kinda true too!

2.Jealous guy-**

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast...
I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy..
I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide..

Jealousy till a certain point is cute. But i never want to be that guy!

3.New York City-*

Yeah peppy track guy, i cant relate to you much.

4.Mind Games-*

blah

5. John Lennon - Nobody Loves You When You're Down And Out-****

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine

Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

My favourite track so far!

6.Stand by me-****

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me..

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me..

A smooth, romantic number. Although personally, I like the Percy Sledge version much better.

7.Beautiful Boy-****

adorable lullaby! :)

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and bet

i promise i'll sing this to my kids, if i have any.. and lotsa times :)


8. Grow old with me- *

sissy.

only lyrics i like:

Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true

9.give peace a chance-****

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism!

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Revolution, Evolution, Masturbation, Flagellation, Regulation,
Integrations, mediations, United Nations, congratulations!

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
John and Yoko, Timmy Leary, Rosemary,
Tommy Smothers, Bobby Dylan, Tommy Cooper,
Derek Taylor, Norman Mailer, Alan Ginsberg, Hare Krishna
Hare Hare Krishna!

All we are saying, is give peace a chance!

10.Imagine-****

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one!

So here's John Lennon with his best, my favourites being:
Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Stand by me,
Beautiful boy,
Give peace a chance,
Imagine.

adios.

  1. i got a best of beatles list as well

    1. octopus' garden
    infact the lines

    I'd like to be under the sea
    In an octopus' garden in the shade

    were so stuck in my
    head for some time

    2.Strawberry Fields

    Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
    It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
    It doesn't matter much to me.
    Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
    Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
    Strawberry Fields forever.

    personal favorite

    3.Helter Skelter


    When I get to the bottom
    I go back to the top of the slide
    Where I stop and turn
    and I go for a ride
    Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Do you don't you want me to love you
    I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
    Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
    and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

    Go helter skelter
    helter skelter
    helter skelter

    4.Michelle

    blah blah

    5.All thru' the day I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
    All thru' the night I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
    Now they're frightened of leaving it
    Ev'ryone's weaving it,
    Coming on strong all the time,
    All thru' the day I me mine.

    Even those tears I me mine, I me mine, I me mine.
    No-one's frightened of playing it
    Ev'ryone's saying it,
    Flowing more freely than wine,
    All thru' your life I me mine.

    Can't help it, i am so self obsessed.

    Any ways, hope you like em.

    peace pz
