I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get.

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind
I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

- John Lennon and some other guys

22. I've always suspected a smoldering bonfire
kept in check by the pristine grammar and beautifully stated points.

Now, please forgive me, and let us speak no more of this. :D

That is an old favorite indeed, and here is one you will probably have heard, but not recently....

4. No turntables
When I was a deejay, I played the While Album backwards. The only thing I heard was "turn me on dead man" - but I think that was because I was looking for it. ;)

8. Yes, it is Revolution9
What I meant was, I played the whole thing and that was the only phrase I could make out. Of course, that was 28 years ago.

Don't make me work hard. PM me what he mumbles at the end. Pweeeze?

3. Not my generation but that was GREAT!

This makes me want to find more Lennon songs. It's perfect but I really like it too.

21. It sounds so fresh, like it was written yesterday
but it's making me cry :cry:

Thank you. I think I just became a Beatles fan. I thought all their songs were yayaya types, these are great!

23. They grew out of standard pop
IMHO, starting with Rubber Soul.

Mind you, the last one I provided was from Lennon's solo career. The album, Plastic Ono band.

But, I am happy you like what you've heard. :)

24. I'm clicking around in there
I'd forgotten about Merry Christmas The War is Over. It was great and sad listening to it. Now I'm clicking around and just found another great song called "Hurt" (not Lennon but John Cash)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

Now I'm really bawling

Thank you :hi:
