Last one Ballad of John & Yoko great autobiographical track Pat x Standing on the dock at Southampton Trying to get to Holland or France The man in the Mac Said, 'You've gotta go back' You know, they didn't even give us a chance Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Finally made the plane into Paris Honeymooning down by the Seine Peter Brown called to say 'You can make it okay 'You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain' Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton Talking in our beds for a week The newspeople said 'Say, what're you doing in bed?' I said, 'we're only trying to get us some peace' Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Made a lightning trip to Vienna Eating chocolate cakes in a bag The newspapers said 'She's gone to his head 'They look just like two gurus in drag' Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Caught the early plane back to London Fifty acrons tied in a sack The men from the press Said, 'we wish you success 'It's good to have the both of you back' Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me The way things are going They're gonna crucify me The way things are going They're gonna crucify me

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

Sorry to hear that Malc. A lot of people like songs at the time they are released then over time they diss the songs the words & sometimes the Artist, well I always liked this song and always will. John Lennon was my favourite Beatle and I couldn't believe anyone would do what Chapman did. I am thinking of some more songs so may be back with more. :-) Pat x Working Class Hero As soon as you're 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 A working class hero is something to be A 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 they despise a fool Till you're so f**king crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still f**king peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top they are 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 A working class hero is something to be 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

Our life together is so precious together, We have grown - we have grown, Although our love is still special, Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone, It's been so long since we took the time, No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quikly, But when I see you darling, It's like we both are falling in love again, It'll be just like starting over - starting over, Everyday we used to make it love, Why can't we be making love nice and easy, It's time to spread our wing's and fly, Don't let another day go by my love, It'll be just like starting over - starting over, Why don't we take off alone, Take a trip far, far away, We'll be together on our own again, Like we used to in the early days, Well, well, well darling, It's been so long since we took the time, No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quikly, But when I see you darling, It's like we both are falling in love again, It'll be just like starting over - starting over, Everyday we used to make it love, Why can't we be making love nice and easy, It's time to spread our wing's and fly, Don't let another day go by my love, It'll be just like starting over - starting over, Our life together is so precious together, We have grown - we have grown, Although our love is still special, Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone.

Bad influence or not, They loved each other,.... and to be honest, the Beatles would have broken up regardless , with or without Yoko.

there is a documentary on about John lennon and the person who murdered him, not sure what to make of it!

1980: John Lennon shot dead Former Beatle John Lennon has been shot dead by an unknown gunman who opened fire outside the musician's New York apartment. The 40-year-old was shot several times as he entered the Dakota, his luxury apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, opposite Central Park, at 2300 local time. He was rushed in a police car to St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center, where he died. His wife, Yoko Ono, who is understood to have witnessed the attack, was with him. Shots heard A police spokesman said a suspect was in custody, but he had no other details of the shooting. 'This was no robbery,' the spokesman said, adding that Mr Lennon was probably shot by a 'deranged' person. Witness reports say at least three shots were fired and others have claimed they heard six. There are also reports Mr Lennon staggered up six steps into the vestibule after he was shot, before collapsing. Jack Douglas, Lennon's producer, said he and the Lennons had been at a studio called the Record Plant in mid-town earlier in the evening and Lennon left at 2230. Mr Lennon said he planned to have some dinner and then return home, Mr Douglas said. Fans at scene The Lennons are said to have left their limousine on the street and walked up the driveway when the gunman opened fire. It is unclear whether the man had been lying in wait in the entrance to the building for Mr Lennon, or whether he came up behind him. Witnesses describe the gunman as a 'pudgy kind of man', 35 to 40 years old with brown hair. Other former band members, Paul McCartney, guitarist George Harrison and drummer Ringo Starr are thought to have been informed of Lennon's murder. Fans have already begun arriving at the scene, many still unaware Lennon has died. Mr Lennon is survived by his wife, their son Sean, and his son from a previous relationship, Julian.
