![]() Milk and Honey (1984) [ larger cover art ] |
Three, four!
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, roll!

| turnpike (Toronto) | Posted: Mar 13, 2013 - 18:50 In my Lennon's-top-three. Thanks, John for this one. |
| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Mar 13, 2013 - 18:49 Everybody in my church loves this song!!!! |
| lemmoth (NYC) | Posted: Nov 08, 2012 - 08:09 John was often at his best when channeling some of the stylistic influences of his youth - this could have been a big hit in the early "60s. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Sep 06, 2012 - 10:00 John Lennon would be proud... |
| joelbb | Posted: Sep 06, 2012 - 09:49 One of the best songs from a very spotty solo career. Oh John, why did you have to hook up with that daughter-of-a-Japanese-industrialist artist wannabe? It's 1968, the "Let It Be" movie is released and playing at the Montrose Theater in Houston. Yoko comes on screen for the first time to boo's throughout the house. A few years later a billionaire writes "Imagine no possessions." How fatuous is that? |

| itaish (Berkeley, CA) | Posted: Jul 05, 2012 - 11:50 I remember seeing the video for this song sometime in the early 80's. The picture of John and Yoko on the boat stuck in my head for many years up to the point I could not remember if it was actually part of the video or just my imagination. Thanks to YouTube this mystery could be solved. |
| dwlangham (Nowhere to be found) | Posted: Jul 05, 2012 - 11:44 How about more Lennon in the rotation, Bill? |
| Bobert_ParkCity (Park City Utah) | Posted: Jun 03, 2012 - 16:19 yet another song that turned out to be endlessly ironic.... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jan 28, 2012 - 21:00 standard Lennon— an absolutely brilliant song with fantastic music... |
| Cynaera (In a hammock under my own vine and fig tree.) | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 08:55 What a wonderful way to start my Saturday! Clear, blue sky, nip in the air, a cup of strong coffee, and this song. Life, at this moment, is very, very good. ![]() |
| Antigone (A house, in a Virginian Valley) | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 08:54 How can I NOT have rated this?? |

| mmoyer (Silicon Valley) | Posted: Jun 21, 2011 - 18:05 Always liked this song. It was bittersweet though, as he had died so recently when it was released. |
| anotherlistener (outside Bawlmer) | Posted: Apr 19, 2011 - 12:37 Haven't heard this in forever! Well played, Bill. Well played, indeed. |
