in the middle of the night
in the middle of the night i call
your name

in the middle of a shave
in the middle of a shave i call your name
oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will
turn you on
in the middle of a dream
in the middle of a dream i call

in the middle of a cloud
in the middle of a cloud i call
your name
oh yoko, oh yoko, my love will

artist: John Lennon lyrics
title: Imagine
albums: Imagine, Shaved Fish, Live In New York City, Imagine (Original Soundtrack), Anthology - Ascot (CD1)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

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

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 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

artist: John Lennon lyrics

title: Love

albums: John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, Anthology - Ascot (CD1), Acoustic


Love is real, real is love

Love is feeling, feeling love

Love is wanting to be loved


Love is touch, touch is love

Love is reaching, reaching love

Love is asking to be loved


Love is you

You and me

Love is knowing

we can be


Love is free, free is love

Love is living, living love

Love is needed to be loved

artist: John Lennon lyrics

title: Working Class Hero

albums: John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, Anthology - Ascot (CD1), Acoustic


As soon as your born they make you feel small

by giving you no time instead of it all

Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be


They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool

Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be


When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years

then they expect you to pick a career

When you can't really function you're so full of fear

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be


Keep you doped with religon, sex and T.V.

and you think you're so clever and classless and free

but you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see

Working Class Hero is something to be

Working Class Hero is something to be


There's room at the top I'm telling you still

but first you must learn how to smile as you kill

if you want to be like the folks on the hill

Working Class Hero is something to be


Yes, A Working Class Hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

If you want to be a hero well just follow me

artist: John Lennon lyrics

title: Remember

albums: John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, Anthology - Ascot (CD1)


Remember when you were young

how the hero was never hung

always got away


Remember the man

used to leave you empty handed

Always, always let you down

If you ever change your mind

about leaving it all behind

Remember, Remember Today


Don't you worry

'Bout what you've done

Don't feel sorry

'bout the way it's gone


Remember

When you were small

How people seemed so tall

Always had their way

Remember your ma and pa

Just wishing for movie stardom

Always, Always playing a part

If you ever feel sad

And the whole world is driving you mad

Remember, Remember Today

title: Oh My Love
albums: Imagine, Anthology - Ascot (CD1)

oh my love for the first time in
my life
my eyes are wide open
oh my lover for the first time in
my life
my eyes can see
i see the wind, oh i see the
trees
everything is clear in my heart
i see the clouds, oh i see the
sky
everything is clear in our world
oh my love for the first time in
my life
my mind is wide open
oh my lover for the first time in
my life
my mind can feel
i feel sorrow, oh i feel dreams
everything is clear in my heart
everything is clear in our world
i feel life, oh i feel love

artist: John Lennon lyrics
title: Jealous Guy
albums: Imagine, Imagine (Original Soundtrack), Anthology - Ascot (CD1)

i was dreaming of a past
and my heart was beating fast
i began to lose control
i began to lose control
i didn't mean to hurt
i'm sorry that i made you cry
i didn't mean to hurt you
i'm just a jealous guy
i was feeling inscure
you might not love me anymore
i was shivering inside
i was shivering inside
i was trying to catch your eyes
thought that you was trying to
hide
i was swallowing my pain
i was swallowing my pain
