Home Actor John Lennon HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers December 2023 John Lennon Instagram - HELP! 🔴 Yes. That’s mine. I wrote it. It was getting hard to be someone then. I was grossly overweight and needed help and only one critic/reviewer ever spotted it and it was Al Aronowitz in the New York Post. He said ‘Johnny’ or whatever he was calling me, ‘is crying out for help.’ And I didn’t realise that I was at the time. I was just writing a song for the movie. I wrote it ‘Bam! Bam!’ like that, and got the single. It was really getting weird then. The whole Beatles thing was just beyond comprehension and I was eating and drinking like a pig and I was fat as a pig, dissatisfied with myself and subconsciously crying for help. It was like the Fat Elvis period. You see the movie, he’s very fat, very insecure and completely loss of self. I’m singing about when I was younger and all the rest of it. Now the positive thing is, yes, yes, I’m very positive. I also go through deep depressions where I’d like to jump out the window, you know? I am an amazingly emotional person. It’s becoming easier to deal with as I get older and I realise, I try – I don’t know whether control is the right word – or I’ve grown up a little, or you calm down a little but the swings and the motion from ecstatic highs to suicidal depressions are actually physically and mentally wearing and I’ve always had it, all my life. I remember Maureen Cleave, a writer – the one who did the famous ‘We’re more popular than Jesus’ story in the Evening Standard – asked me, ‘Why don’t you ever write songs with more than one syllable?’ So in ‘Help!’ there are two- or three-syllable words and I very proudly showed them to her and she still didn’t like them. I was insecure then, and things like that happened more than once. I never considered it before. So after that I put a few words with three syllables in, but she didn’t think much of them when I played it to her, anyway. I don’t like the recording too much; we did it too fast, trying to be commercial… I might do ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’ and ‘Help!’ again, because I like them and I can sing them.

John Lennon Instagram – GIRL. 🔴 That’s me! Writing about this dream girl again that hadn’t come yet. ‘Girl’ is real. There is no such thing as the girl; she was a dream, but the words are all right. It wasn’t just a song, and it was about that girl – that turned out to be Yoko in the end – the one that a lot of us were looking for. I never wrote about people except for myself. When Paul and I wrote lyrics in the old days we used to laugh about what Tin Pan Alley people would do. And we’d do it like an exercise. It was only later on that we started to try and match the lyrics to the tune. I like it. It was one of my best. It’s the one we say, ‘tit, tit, tit’ in. I was just talking about Christianity in that – a thing like you have to be tortured to attain heaven. I’m only saying that I was talking about ‘pain will lead to pleasure’ in ‘Girl’ and that was sort of the Catholic Christian concept – be tortured and then it’ll be all right, which seems to be a bit true but not in their concept of it. But I didn’t believe in that, that you have to be tortured to attain anything, it just so happens that you were. The song ‘Woman’ is the grown-up version of ‘Girl’ to me. GIRL. Is there anybody going to listen to my story All about the girl who came to stay She’s the kind of girl you want so much It makes you sorry Still you don’t regret a single day Ah girl Girl girl When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her She will turn to me and start to cry And she promises the earth to me And I believe her After all this time I don’t know why Ah girl Girl girl She’s the kind of girl who puts you down When friends are there you feel a fool When you say she’s looking good She acts as if it’s understood She’s cool ooh ooh ooh Ah girl Girl girl Was she told when she was young That pain would lead to pleasure Did she understand it when they said That a man must break his back To earn his day of leisure Will she still believe it when he’s dead Ah girl Girl girl
John Lennon Instagram – I AM THE WALRUS. 🔵 The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. I was running through the house and I just typed on the typewriter ‘I am he as you are he as we are all together’ and that was lying on the typewriter for about three weeks before it became a song. That was the whole song right in that line. And that was an acid trip line, and it was a great effort to just put in on the typewriter. For those of you who know those kind of things. So that line was written and left on the typewriter there for two or three weeks until I went to look at it on the next acid trip the next weekend and subsequently filled in after I met Yoko. I did have this idea of doing a song that was the police siren, you know. Didn’t work in the end, because you couldn’t really sing with police siren. Yellow matter custard and all that is an English children’s chant – ‘Yellow matter custard, green snot pie, all mixed together with a dead dog’s eye. Spread it on a butty, Spread it on thick, Then wash it down with a cup of cold sick’ – That was a Liverpool kids song. I’d seen Allen Ginsberg and some other people who liked Dylan and Jesus go on about Hare Krishna. It was Ginsberg, in particular, I was referring to. The words ‘Elementary Penguin’ meant that it’s naïve to just go around chanting ‘Hare Krishna’ or putting all your faith in one idol. It was ‘The Walrus and The Carpenter’, Alice and Wonderland. And it was only years later that I went back to check because I never went into that bit about what Lewis Carroll really meant. Like what people are doing with the Beatles’ work or anybody’s work, digging into it. Lewis Carroll was commenting on Capitalist and Socialist systems at the time. The Walrus and the Carpenter representing social positions. People draw so many conclusions and it’s ridiculous… What does it really mean, ‘I am the eggman’? It could have been the pudding basin for all I care. It’s not that serious.
