Vinyl Sunday [Part 2]: Next on today’s listening list, another album I purchased just yesterday: John Lennon - Live in New York City.
This concert from MSG was originally recorded on August 30th, 1972 (just a few months before I was born!), but it wasn’t actually released commercially until 1986.

John Lennon - The Luck Of The Irish [Acoustic Demo]
“If you had the luck of the Irish
You’d be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you’d wish you was English instead!
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!”

The Beatles - Girl
“This was about a dream girl. When Paul and I wrote lyrics in the old days we used to laugh about it, like the Tin Pan Alley people would. And it was only later on that we tried to match the lyrics to the name. I like this one. It was one of my best.” - John Lennon

John Lennon - Cold Turkey
The only “Turkey”-related song I know of… I can’t believe I just went through 8 hours of my dashboard, and didn’t see it posted already today!
‘Happy Turkey-Day’!

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
Everybody’s hustling for a buck and a dime
I’ll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I’ve been across to the other side
I’ve shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it’s all show biz (x2)
(What it is, what it is, what it is)Nobody loves you when you’re down and out
Nobody knows you when you’re on cloud nine
Everybody’s hustling for a buck and a dime
I’ll scratch your back and you knife mine
I’ve been across the water now so many times
I’ve seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Every time I put my finger on it, it slips away (x2)
(What you say, what you say, what you say)”

John Lennon - Working Class Hero
“…Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be…”
Because I can’t let John Lennon’s birthday go by without posting at least one of his songs, and this one’s always been a favorite of mine.
Goodnight Tumblrs!

John Lennon - Nobody Told Me
“…Everybody’s smoking and no one’s getting high
Everybody’s flying and never touch the sky
There’s a UFO over New York and I ain’t too surprisedNobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Nobody told me there’d be days like these
Strange days indeed — most peculiar, mama…roll!”
