Yoko Ono - Borrowed Time - lyrics

When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living confusion and deep despair.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Living illusion of freedom and power.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Full of ideals and broken dreams, my friend.
When I was younger, ah-hah,
Evrything simple but not so clear.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba,
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba - mm - ba-ba-ba-ba.
Now I am older, uh-huh,
The more I see the less I know for sure.
Now I am older, ah-hah,
The future is brighter and now is the hour.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Good to be older, uh-huh,
Would not exchange a singe day or year.
Good to be older, ah-hah, (mm, babe!)
Less complications, evrything clear.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Living on borrowed time,
Without a thought for tomorrow.
Oh yes, it all seemed so bloody easier then.
You know, like what to wear, very serious like,
You know, am I gonna get the little pimples?
Does she really love me, all that crap.
But now I dont bother about that shit no more,
I know she loves me! all I gotta bother about is standing up.
Uh-doo-doo-doo-doo-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-uh,
Alright, you can get out of that now.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.

Yoko Ono - #9 Dream - lyrics

So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, I know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.
Took a walk down the street,
To the heat whispered trees,
I thought I could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name, (john)
As it started to rain, (john)
Two spirits dancing so strange.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air.
I believe, yes, I believe,
More I cannot say,
What more can I say?
On the river of sound,
Thru the merry go round, round,
I thought I could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa.

Yoko Ono - Airtalk - lyrics

One, two, three, four, five, six.
Its sad that air is the only thing we share,
No matter how close we are theres always air between us.
Its also nice that airs something we all share,
No matter how far apart we are an air links us.
Its sad that past is something we can never share,
No matter how close we are the past is between us.
But its also nice that without the past
Wed have never known each other,
No matter how far apart we are it brought us together.
Yes, its very nice to have someone to share,
Theres something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our past but we have our future to share.
Its sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear,
No matter how close we are its easy to despair.
Its also nice that you and I know its what we all share,
No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care.
Theres something very nice to have something to share,
Theres something very nice to have someone to care.
We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share.
Yes, theres something very nice to have something to care,
Theres something very nice to have someone to share.
We may not share our language but we have the world to share.

Yoko Ono - Amsterdam - lyrics

By john lennon and yoko ono
Okay, yoko
Peace -
Peace -
Lets hope for peace,
Lets hope for peace,
Peace -
Lets hope for peace,
Peace -
Lets hope for peace.
(peace, peace, peace, peace...)
Peace -
Lets hope for peace, (peace, peace, peace, peace!)
Peace -
Lets hope for peace,
Peace -
Lets hope for peace.
Oh, john, lets hope for peace
For our children,
For our country,
For our world,
For our future,
Oh, john, lets hope for peace,
Lets hope for peace.
Peace -
Peace, peace,
Lets hope for peace.
Oh, john -
Peace.
Good morning meine damen und herren, this is the peace call.
John: what were really doing is sending out a message to the world, mainly to the
Youth, especially the youth or anybody really thats interested in protesting for
Peace, or protesting against any form of violence and we say everybodys getting a
Bit heavy or bit intellectual about it. everybodys talking about peace, but nobodys
Doing anything about it, except for a few people, and the things are, the grosvenor
Square marches in london. the end product of it was just newspaper stories about
Riots and fightings. and we did the bed event in amsterdam and the bag piece in vienna
Just to give people an idea, that theres many ways of protest and this is one of them.
And anybody could grow their hair for peace or give up a week of their holiday for
Peace or sit in a bag for peace, protest against peace anyway, but peacefully cause we
Think that peace is only got by peaceful methods and that to fight the establishment
With their own weapons is no good, because they always win and theyd been winning
For thousands of years. they know how to play the game violence and its easier for
Them when they can recognise you and shoot you. they dont know how to handle
Humour, peaceful humour and thats our message really.
Questioner: what do you think was the biggest success in history, about 300 years?
John: havent a clue.
Yoko: well, maybe its still yet to happen, you see. thats why were trying to do it. in
Other words, by very, very peaceful methods to bring peace, you know instead of
Peace through violence, thats what were trying to do and if we succeed in that,
Thats the biggest happening yet in the last 300 years, because its never been done and
Nobody has really tried it, you see. and thats what were trying to do.
Questioner: what would you do in case of a war?
John: how do you mean?
Questioner: what would you do immediately if you would wake up in the morning, read the newspapers and they would tell you england is in war with france?
John: Id die of fright.
Yoko: I dont think that should happen. you talk as if somethings going to happen
Aside of us. we are all in this you see. we are all in the same society and in the same
World and everything that happens to us is our responsibility, you know. like any
Violence going in the world is just a symbol of all the violent atmosphere that is in
The world, you see and when the nazism persecuted the jewish people that wasnt only
Hitler, who did it or germany, who did it, but just a symbol of everybody in the world
Who had the feeling for the persecution of jews, you see. so we share everything, so
Thats not gonna happen, if theres war suddenly, thats our fault, you know.
Questioner: so what do you think about the behaviour of austrian and germans during
The second world war? dont you think that theyre a little bit more responsible
Than the others?
John: no, not particularly.
Yoko: no, not particularly. no. the whole world, if the whole world was really
Aware of it and if the journalists and the communication media of those days were
Really aware of their responsibility as well and reported everything correct, you
Know, well, which is almost impossible, Im sure, but as much as possible and if the
Whole world was aware of their responsibility, it could have been stopped, Im sure.
John: well, we know that britain and a few other counties waited quite a long time
Before they made any decision about what to do. Im not quite sure of the facts, you
Know, but after czechoslovakia and things like that, they couldve stopped it earlier,
But they waited until its on the doorstep, you know, until it involves their money,
Their territory.
Questioner: theres a special type of petition that is vetoed by special contents ..
John: no. I dont think so because...
Questioner: hitler could have been voted by the french, for instance.
John: every nation will have a prototype. I think I was out talking to one of the
Austrian tv guys. I said can you name me one european country which hasnt sort of
Raped the world and he said austria actually was the only one that didnt attack
Anybody else. they were always on the defensive side, I dont know whether thats
True.
Qustioner: but they were silent at the wrong moment...
John: okay, thats bad, I agree that silence is bad. but I mean there isnt one european
Country that hasnt had its hitler in one way or the other, including britain, in what
They did to india and south africa, you know.
Yoko: so lets so back to the future, you know. so thats why were here. we want to
Talk mainly to the young people all over the world, because those are the people
Who are going to be the next generation. theyre going to be the next world, you
Know, and we just want to say we are with them. were not preaching or anything like
That. we want to be with them and were with them and in our way, were just
Announcing that were open to all invitations or suggestions or anything to work
For the world peace, you see, and were doing it now, in our own way, which we think is
The best for us and also the young people have to realise that this is just as bad as
Before the second world war or right in the middle of it, you know, that everything,
All the violence that is happening in the world now are our responsibility and if we
Dont really realise it and immediately start something, action, you know, its going
To be bad, you know. and it will be exactly like you said. one morning, we find in the
Newspaper, find that the whole world is going to disappear, you know.
Questioner: I agree with you, but dont you see, I mean, its a fact that by through your
Behaviour, I think its okay, but for a lot of people, through your behaviour, to get
Suspicious. they dont think that this can be correct, people sitting under a
Tablecloth protesting against wars. they dont think...
Yoko: okay, before they criticise us, you know, and if they want to criticise us, okay,
Go ahead, and they should do it in their own way, but do something, you know.
Questioner: so everybody should throw out his part of hitler out of his soul, then?
John: yes, yes, we all have it in us. in a way, were saying we want peace and were
Staying in bed for peace, but Im as violent as the next man, and Im sure yoko is just as
Violent just as well. were violent people, you know. I prefer myself when Im non-
Violent. I prefer me friends when theyre non-violent. it just makes for easier living
And if we have to have violence, lets channel it, you know.
I dont know how, you know, theres other people can work out how to channel it, or
Give them somewhere to play and kill each other or something. but I dont want to be
Involved in their violence. I prefer to live in peace, you know.
Yoko: all you need is courage, you know. you can just go out in the street now and
Take off all your clothes and just say peace you know and youll be in the news you
See. just courage and if everybody gets courage and of course they would,
Because they would think all right maybe this is a little bit embarrassing thing to do,
But look at john and yoko theyre doing worse, so I can do it, you know.
Thats all were trying to do, you see.
Questioner: so youre putting courage, also, into the world?
John: we hope so.
Yoko: I hope so.
John: okay.
Stay in bed!
John: look theres a fly flitting around. just makes you laugh.
Yoko: what time is it?
John: whats the time?
Yoko: what?
John: 9:30.good morning. I was saying about bagism,you see, you get in this bag and you
Jump out the window. next thing you know, you got a policeman on your head. you want tea?
Yoko: you know what I want, john?
John: what; what, what, what. oh, give us a chance! you want one before I do. yes, our
Name got round a lot. could I have room service, please. do you want toast?
Yoko: just tea. which do you want, coffee or tea?

Yoko: tea.
John: two teas please. yeah, 902 and some toast. yeah, brown toast.

Visitor: here you are.
John: thank you. you gonna take him off me now!
Visitor: yeah, if you dont mind. thank you very much.
John: I thought you were giving
Visitor: bye, bye. bye, bye. no, no.
John: I sort of was under that impression. she gave us the dog and then went away. very nice.
Yoko: its rather sort of really swinging though. dont you think so?
John: the thought of the long haired beatle in the 19th century sanctuary. please
Stop this nonsense. go home. we dont like people like you. go to a doctor to be
Normal, you get this? go to a doctor to be normal. were seeing a psychiatrist today,
So maybe hell fix us up then. bloody marvellous. we dont get through on some level,
As you notice. was under marijuana. beautiful, beautiful. keep smoking. nothing illegal
Beautiful, beautiful. hey, those kids are as hard as the real press.
Yoko: yes, amazing.
John: amazing. theyre just as tough as the real press. very sexy. its a boy, its a boy.
Questioner: why are you staying in bed for 7 days?
John: ah, because...
Questioner: well, first of all, let me say congratulations on your marriage and that
In dutch is gefiliciteerd met je getrouw.
John: oh, dank u wel, oh, chocolat!
Questioner: how about explaining this mission you are on at this moment!
John: well, you start...
Yoko: well, because we thought of this idea about staying in bed for 7 days for
Protest against violence in the world.
Questioner: did you think of its geographical situation as being the centre of europe?
John: no, I didnt realise, is it? oh, fantastic! it was magic then, you see, cause the way...
Questioner: well, they call it the centre of europe. its an advertising campaign for an
Airline.
John: okay, well give us a free ticket and well be all right.
Various people: stand up! bend over towards us.
Stand up on your knees, maybe. turn up, turn up on your knees.
As soon as we can ......(unhearable) ....but we need you here
John: so, anyway a policeman came in and an elephant jumped on me head, so I said
Whats going on and he said cabbages and the next moment I was on film, yeah.

Its just like heaven
Being here with you.
Youre like an angel,
Too good to be true.
But after all, I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.

Blue and alone.
If youll ever go,

No one can love you like I do.

Yoko Ono - I'm The Greatest - lyrics

When I was a little boy,
Way back home in liverpool,
My mama told me, I was great.
Then when I was a teenager,
I knew that I had got something going,
All my friends told me I was great.
And now Im a man,
A woman took me by the hand,
And you know what she told me...i was great.
I was in the greatest show on earth,
For what it was worth.
Now Im only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!
Hey!
I looked in the mirror,
I saw my wife and kids,
And you know what they told me...i was great.
Yes, my name is billy shears,
You know it has been for so many years.
Now Im only thirty-two;
And all I wanna do, is boogaloo!
Hey, hey, hey, (hey, hey, hey) yeah!
(hey, hey, hey)
Im the greatest and you better believe it, baby!
Ho! ho! ho!

In the next world and in any world! (hey!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, all right!
