Yoko Ono Album

There was a girl who couldn't speak,
Who couldn't speak her mind
Only thing she was good at
was telling stories of faraway lands

There was a guy who couldn't say
who couldn't say what he wanted
Only thing he was good at
was cracking jokes to make people laugh

So many words he swallowed
So many thoughts she kept to herself
And when they met they made love
and talked about the world and the weather

So many cities he walked
So many countries she travelled
And in their dreams they would listen
To the sound of the sea they heard together

There're many things in life i can endure,
One such thing is poverty.
But loneliness, loneliness,
Is one thing i can't endure.

There're many things in the world I can endure
One such thing is humility
But loneliness, (loneliness) loneliness, (loneliness)
iss something I can't endure

How could I stand loneliness, loneliness?
How are you suppose to cope with loneliness, loneliness?
How would one live with loneliness, loneliness, lo-oh-loneliness?

(oh, loneliness)

There are many things in time and space
I can endure
In fact, I can endure most anything.
But loneliness (loneliness)
loneliness (loneliness)
is something i can't endure

How could i stand loneliness, loneliness?
How are you suppose to cope with loneliness, loneliness?
How would one live with loneliness, loneliness, lo-oh-loneliness?

Lo-oh-loneliness

Will you touch me, will you touch me
When my body's full of fear?
Will you reach me, will you reach me
When my body's so cold?

Nothing short of the softest word can reach me now.
Nothing but the warmest heart can touch me now

Will you hold me, will you hold me
When my mind is full of fears?
Will you kiss me, will you kiss me
When my mind is so down?

All my life the doors kept closing on me
Nothing in the world can
open my heart but some kindness

Will you touch me, will you touch me
When I'm shaking in fear
Will you reach me, will you reach me
When I'm trembling with tears

All my life the doors kept closing on me.
And nothing in the world can open my heart
but your kindness

The town's dawning, i'm the only one awake.
The streets are whistling, i light my fourth cigarette.
I think of my friends, they were once not so dead.
What are they thinking now?

One day i'll be just a little stone,
Nobody'll know that the stone had such emotions.
Anyway, i'm always on the run.
Someday i'll be remembered for the phone calls i never made,
Letters i never mailed,
And stories i never finished telling anyone.

The town's yawning, i let my dog walk me around.
He took a shoot and people smiled,
I tried the same and people frowned.
Yes, it's a dog, dogtown.

One day let's be a pair of trees,
Nobody'll know that the trees had such a history.
Anyway, we'd never be this lonely.
Someday i'll be remembered for the fine words i meant to keep,
A warm smile i meant to leave,
And a true song i meant to finish writing all my life.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge luck, peas porridge stuck,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets paid, some gets grades,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown,
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown.
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown.

Peas porridge loved, peas porridge spoiled,
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.
Some gets laid, some gets slayed,
Some stays in the pot nine years old.

Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown, it's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog, dogtown

Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown, dogtown,
Dogtown, dogtown, dogtown

Yesterday may linger forever,
Today may never be found.
Tomorrow may never come,
Tomorrow may never come.

Yesterday may haunt us forever,
Today may pass in fear.
Tomorrow my never come,
Tomorrow may never come.

All we have (all we have) is you and i, (you and I)
Feeling the wind (feel the wind) and the sky. (the sky)
Reach me, touch me, hold me, (hold me)
Hold me while my lips are still soft.

(oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo,
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Yesterday may scar us forever,
Today may never be found.
Tomorrow may never come, (never, never, never come)
Tomorrow may never come.

All we have (all we have) is you and i, (you and I)
Feeling the wind (feel the wind) and the sky. (the sky)
Reach me, touch me, hold me, (hold me)
Hold me while my lips are still soft.

Reach me, (reach me)
Touch me, (touch me)
Reach me, (reach me)
Touch me.
Hold me, hold me, hold me, (hold me)
Hold me while my lips are still warm.

Oh, please dont give me that!

Yes, Im a witch,
Im a bitch
I dont care what you say,
My voice is real.
My voice speaks truth,
I dont fit in your ways.

Im not gonna die for you,
You might as well face the truth,
Im gonna stick around for quite awhile.

Were gonna say,
Were gonna try,
Were gonna try it our way.
Weve been repressed,
Weve been depressed,
Suppression all the way.

Were not gonna die for you,
LyricsWere not seeking vengeance,
But were not gonna kill ourselves for your convenience.

Each time we dont say what we wanna say, were dying.
Each time we close our minds to how we feel, were dying.
Each time we gotta do what we wanna do, were living.
Each time were open to what we see and hear, were living.

Well free you from the ghettos of your minds,
Well free you from your fears and binds,
We know you want things to stay as it is,
Its gonna change, baby.

Its gonna change, baby doll,
Its gonna change, honey ball,
Its gonna change, sugar cane,
Its gonna change, sweetie legs.
So dont try to make cock-pecked people out of us.

Ah-ah, ah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah.

She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
She gets down on her knees to throw up life,
Thats the only thing she does it good.

Mm -
Mm -

Room to room, flushing away her memory,
Bay to bay, washing out her history.

Ah-ah!

She gets down on her knees to make up life,
She gets down on her knees to make up life,
She gets down on her knees to make up life,
Thats the only way she has it good.

LyricsShes a mainliner whos never took a main line,
Shes a one liner whos never found the one line,
She goes from one bay to another looking for a liner.

Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.

Mm -
Mm -

Shes a line thrower, dip it in a honey bowl,
Shes a line burner, rub it in with vinegar and oil,
She goes from one sky to another looking for a liner.

Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.
Going down, down, down, down to feel the ground,
Coming up, up, up, up to make the flight.

Ah!
Ah!

Ah -

Blur patches in the clouded sky,
Too high to catch her tears and sighs,
Looking over tenderly.

Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah! ah!

It happened at a time of my life
when I least expected,
It happened at a time of my life
when I least expected

I don't even remember how it happened
I don't even remember the day it happened
But it happened,
Yes, it happened
Ooh, it happened
And i know there's no return, no way

I know there's no return, no way

Once a friend told me of his experience,
That he had loved somebody and in pain,
He had slit his arm and sent the blood to her
and that he was glad that it was over

He had talked and made love like an expert,
But I had never seen his soul
And his eyes had a sort of dead smile
As if he wanted me to believe
that he was still alive

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to Chinatown for noodles

That was many years ago, in another life,
Why do I remember it now?
When I'd heard his story,
I'd heard it like a car accident
that I would never be in myself

He was a winter friend to me,
We walked in the snow to Chinatown to noodles

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la dee la dee la da
Dee la la la

Now that i see my car slipping down the cliff
And i'm desperately looking for the brake...
Don't let it happen to me,
Please, don't let it happen to me,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die or live a living death,
I'm not ready to die..

I threw my woman power in a pot of stew
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single word did i hear from him,
So i tried the stew on my dog
But he wouldn't even eat it.

I put my light heart on a matching silver plate
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single footstep was heard near the door
So i ate the plate myself
And got a heartburn.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I toasted my pride and covered it with apple jam
And waited for my love to come.
But not a single sign of a stir or a breeze
So i soaked the bread in my milk
And i gave it to the birds.

Heartburn, heartburn plate,
Heartburn, heartburn cake.

I watched the clock ticking, ticking away to my past,
Eight years old, birthday and raindrops.
Not a single line from my dad or my mom
So i laid the cake on my cat
But she wouldn't even touch it.

Heartburn, heartburn stew,
Heartburn, heartburn blues.

What do i want with a heartburn, i ask you,
Don't try to give me the word.
'cause i ask a clever question
And i get a silly answer.

It's been very hard
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for a while

The leaves are shining in the sun
And I'm smiling inside
You and I watching each other on a street corner

Cars and buses and planes and people go by
But we don't care, we wanna know
Wanna know in each other's eyes
That hard times are over, over for some time (yeah)

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

It's been very rough
But it's getting easier now
Hard times are over, over for awhile

The streams are twinkling in the sun
And I'm smiling inside
You and I walking together 'round the street corner

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
Hard times are over, over for awhile

Hard times are over
Hard times are over
