Like John Lennon Said by Malcolm Middleton Lyrics

The limelight has a narrow beam
On a broad spectrum many colors go unseen
This doesn’t mean I’ve completely failed
If all my efforts have somewhat paled into
Insignificance in the grander scheme
How many listening' even get what I mean?

~~~

I want to shout into the sky and say
Turn the world upside-down, let me fall away until I
Plant my feet on the other side
Of the lies we tell so the truth can hide

~~~

Like John Lennon said:
"Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try"
Simpler than adding make-believe and science fiction
To what happens when we die
~~~

Imagine there’s no one here
Imagine you stopped imagining' — what would you see?
Without prejudice or false beliefs
I'd take you at face value, but would you take me?

~~~

I want to shout into the sky and say
Turn the world upside-down, let me fall away until I
Plant my feet on the other side
Of the lies we tell so the truth can hide

~~~

Like John Lennon said:
"Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try"
Simpler than adding make-believe and science fiction
To what happens when we die
(Repeat)

Like John Lennon said: “we’re bigger than Jesus!"
Like John Lennon said: "give peas a chance"
Like John Lennon said: "some kind of druid dude"
Like John Lennon said: "if you’re crippled inside"
Like John Lennon said: “some call it magic"
Like John Lennon said: "lifting' the veil"
Like John Lennon said: "was it just a dream?"
Like John Lennon said: "above us only sky”
Above us only sky
Above us only sky
Above us only sky

~~~

Until I plant my feet on the other side
Of the lies we tell so the truth can hide
Malcolm, Malcolm
