John Lennon was gunned down thirty years ago yesterday. Yesterday I found myself tearing up while I watched ESPN’s look back at the Monday Night Football announcement of Lennon’s death.
This is one of my favorite John Lennon songs.
Whatever Gets You Through The Night
By John Lennon
Whatever gets you through the night it’s alright, it’s alright
It’s your money or your life it’s alright, it’s alright
Don’t need a sword to cut thru flowers oh no, oh no
Whatever gets you thru your life it’s alright, it’s alright
Do it wrong or do it right it’s alright, it’s alright
Don’t need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no
Hold me darling come on listen to me
I won’t do you no harm
Trust me darling come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen listen
Whatever gets you to the light it’s alright, it’s alright
Out the blue or out of sight alright, alright
Don’t need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no
Hold me darling come on listen to me
I won’t do you no harm
Trust me darling come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen listen
