A
letra:
Four and Twenty years ago I come into this life, Son of
a woman And a man who lived in strife. He was tired of being
poor But he wasn't into selling door to door And he worked like
a devil to be more.
A different kind of
poverty now upsets me so Night after sleepless night I walk the
floor and want to know Why am I so alone? Where is my woman,
can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes the
sunrise, And I'm driven to my bed I see that it is empty And
there's devils in my head. I embrace the many colored beast. I
grow weary of the torment Can there be no peace? And I find
myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

It's
not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still
young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find
a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am
old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are
now, and I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found
something going on But take your time, think a lot Why, think
of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow, but
your dreams may not
How can I try to
explain? 'Cause when I do he turns away again It's always been the
same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to
listen Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away I
know I have to go
It's not time to make a
change Just sit down, take it slowly You're still young, that's
your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl,
settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but
I'm happy
All the times that I
cried, keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's
harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them
they know not me Now there's a way and I know that I have to go
away I know I have to go

1970 e lançada em 11 de dezembro de 197 no disco John Lennon/Plastic

conceito pelo qual as pesoas medem as dores. Na segunda parte, ele
descreve vários movimentos em que ele não acredita e no fim diz que
só acredita nele mesmo e em Yoko.

Buda, Mantra, Gita, Yoga, reis, Elvis, Bob Dylan e os Beatles.
Na
parte final, ele descreve as mudanças que ocorreram desde que os
Beatles acabaram. Enquanto os Beatles eram praticamente sa família

Walrus, apenas John.
E

The dream is over!

Buddha I don't believe in Mantra I don't believe in Gita I
don't believe in Yoga I don't believe in kings I don't believe
in Elvis I don't believe in Zimmerman I don't believe in
Beatles I just believe in me Yoko and me And that's reality

John And so dear friends You'll just have to carry on The

of us Sunday driving Not arriving
On our way back
home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going
home
Two of us sending
postcards Writing letters On my wall You and me burning
matches Lifting latches
On our way back
home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going
home
You and I have
memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing
raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing
paper Getting nowhere
On our way back
home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going
home

composta de três partes. A primeira é Whisky boot hill, que Neil

pretty).
A
letra:
Winding
paths through tables and glass First flowers bloom Now watch
the Summer pass So close to you
Too late to keep the
change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to
leave
No pass out sign on the
door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the price of their
winking While stars sit at bars and decide what they're
drinking They drop by to die because it's faster than sinking
Too late to keep the
change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too late to
keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too
young to leave
Find out
that now was the answer to answers That you gave later She did
the things that we both did before now But who forgave her?
If I could stand to see
her crying I would tell her not to care When she learns of all
your lying Will she join you there?
Country girl I think
you're pretty Got to make you understand Have no lovers in the
city Let me be your country man Got to make you understand Got
to make you understand Country girl ...
