Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.
No Bed For Beatle John
No bed for beatle john
Beatle, john lennon,
Lost his hospital bed yesterday, to a patient
It happened at queen charlottes hospital, london
Where john was keeping vigil in the room
Where his girlfriend yoko ono,
Is being kept under observation
When he realised his bed was needed for an urgent case,
John sent out for a sleeping bag,
And last night
He was once more happily kipped down, alongside yoko,
In the sleeping bag.
Yoko, who expects a baby next february
Will remain in the hospital for another few days
A beatles spokesman said
There is a good chance for the babys survival.
The beatles win battle of the nude lp
The beatles have won their fight to put
Out an lp record with a sleeve showing
John lennon and yoko ono in nude
Emi the worlds biggest recording company
Whose artists include the beatles
Refused to handle the lp called two virgins because of the sleeve.
So did the groups american outlet, capitol records
But the record with its controversial sleeve
Will be released in both countries next month
An official of the beatles apple company said last night
The sleeve has not yet been censored or altered in any way
Were pleased it has been distributed it may be that some record shops may still
Refuse to handle it.

We live in a country where John Lennon takes eight bullets, Yoko Ono is walking right beside him and not one hits her. Explain that to me!

Dear Yoko
Even after all these years
I miss you when youre not here
I wish you were here my dear yoko
Even if its just a day
I miss you when youre away
I wish you were here today dear yoko
Even if its just one night

Aint nothing in the world like our love dear yoko
Oh yoko
Ill never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh yoko
Ill never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Even when Im miles at sea
And nowhere is the place to be
Your spirits watching over me dear yoko
Even when I watch t.v.
Theres a hole where youre supposed to be
Theres nobody lying next to me dear yoko
Oh yoko
Ill never, ever, ever, ever, ever gonna let you go
Oh yoko

Even after all this time
I miss you like the sun dont shine
Without Im a one track mind dear yoko
After all is really said and done
The two of us are really one
The goddess really smiled upon our love dear yoko

Inspired by Issa - My Home Village
my home village
the virgin mary still stands
young as ever
my home village
old friends like me
away from home
my home village
old friends live in
new homes
inspired by
my home village-
the winter rain targets
a standing Buddha

I Just Shot John Lennon
It was a fearful night of december 8th
He was returning home from the studio late
He had perceptively known that it wouldnt be nice
Because in 1980, he paid the price
John lennon died...
With a smith and wesson 38
John lennons life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed at home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared:
He said, i just shot john lennon,
I just shot john lennon
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night...

This is unexposed film of Greenwich Village because nothing ever happens there.
Now, twenty years old, I come out and I go back to Greenwich Village. Now, of course, I'm a wealthy man.

But in my imagination this whole thing developed and I started mixing up old folk songs with the Beatles beat and taking them down to Greenwich Village and playing them for the people there.

My father took me back home, back to Greenwich Village, and he thought by taking me out of the orphanage he'd be out of the World War too. But no way - they got him anyway. He went in the Navy and then I lived on the streets.

So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all.
