Strange days, indeed
For some unknown reason, this song has been running through my head.

JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO lyrics - Nobody Told Me
(John Lennon)

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

1. I'm Seeing The Video...
That tune came out a couple years after his death...and I remember hearing the song along with the video of him playing with Sean and being so full of life...it's a loss I know I haven't gotten over.

Regularly I wonder how folks like John, Frank Zappa, Bill Hicks and Lenny Bruce would have to say about what's happened in recent years.

Cheers...

Good song. Now I'll be singing it in my head all day.
