What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO  "milk and honey"  cd,  1984.

his eighth proper album, eleventh overall..
tracks written and recorded during the same sessions as Double Fantasy in 79-80...
Yoko tidied them up in late '83 and released them the following year...
twelve tracks, six each...
love four of Johns, liking the remaining two and dislike everything of Yoko's which is a shame as she showed some promise on the previous album...
album sold less than a quarter of Double Fantasy's figures clocking in sales of just under 3 million...
does contain one of his best singles in "nobody told me" which incidently was originally written and demo'd for Ringo but with his death etc it never happened...
his tracks do show that he still had what it took to be a major recording star but alas we will never know what could have been...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

best track:






Three, four!


Everybody's talking and no one says a word
Everybody's making love and no one really cares
There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs.

Always something happening and nothing going on
There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
They're starving back in China so finish what you got.

Nobody 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 -- strange days indeed.

Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu.

Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around.

Nobody 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.

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 surprised.

Nobody 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!
