What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

JOHN LENNON  "imagine" cd, 1971

his second real album...
more commercially sounding than the previous release....
two scathing tunes aimed at Paul after Paul's little snide songs about him over his previous two albums..
the difference being John's were direct and left little to the imagination, Paul stopped the feud after this, couldnt outdo John on that score, LOL!...
also, probably John's happiest joyous moment as a solo artist, Oh Yoko, was on this one along with the obvious title track..
so ten tracks, i love eight of them, cannot stand the title track and "i dont wanna be a soldier" which just doesnt fit musically with the rest...
his second best seller at just over eleven million sales...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

his blistering lyrical attack on Paul McCartney:





So sgt. pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you "you was king"
Jump when your mamma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you've gone you're just another day
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something all those years
How do you sleep?
Ah how do you sleep at night?
