Arkells - John Lennon Lyrics






Head on the wall
And my piss hardly makes the stall
And this time it's not an act
This time I swear it's fact

Now I ramble on
About that girl who's gone
And I tried teaching her guitar
Now she's standing at the bar

She tells me her favourite song
And I say, "Yeah, that's a good one"
She says it follows her around
No shit, it's by the Beatles

I'm so lost
And I live just around the corner
Well here's a thought
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword

And I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67

Adam's in love again
And the good Rev wants to jam instead
Morgan's hearing none of it
She says we're doing it again

The neighbourhood's up in arms
They're trying to shut down all the bars
When everyone's a private eye
They're hiding in the bushes every night

The cats square off in the street
The dogs go through the garbage
You wanna stay for the night tonight?
Well I know all about platonic, honey

I'm so lost
And I live just around the corner
Well here's a thought
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword

And I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67

Head on the wall
And my piss hardly makes the stall
And this time it's not an act

I'm so lost
And I live just around the corner
Well here's a thought
Get Frank McCourt to write the foreword

And I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67
I'm John Lennon in '67

Go!

Arkells John Lennon Comments
  1. X.... ....

    I feel so old I remember my dad listening to this song when I was 2-3 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  2. C.... H....

    im gay totally love dick

  3. K.... S....

    no shit it's by the Beatles!

  4. S.... B....

    this song, miracle mile by cold war kids, cage the elephant songs, dog days are over by florence + the machine, shot at the night by the killers, tokyo police club songs, and songs by the killers, make for ultimate feel good playlists

    S.... B....

    I always heard "head on the wall, my piss hardly makes the stall, and this time it's not an act" and pictured it as the opposite of feel good. It's a nice juxtaposition since the instrumental remains very peppy and melodic.

  5. A.... S....

    You put the name in the wrong order. It should be "Artist - Song Name". Just for your information and future reference

  6. D.... B....

  64. h.... ....

    I have seen this band several times since their Jackson Square album was released, but on Saturday evening it was the last show of their present tour and they attacked the songs they played with a ferociousness that I have never seen before! They just kicked ass on every song and it did not hurt that the entire crowd went ape ........ through out every song to urge them on!

  65. q.... s....

    saw arkells in london tonight... unreal as always

  66. O.... G....

    @glimpus theyre referring to like when john lennon left the beatles in 67 and tried to go solo i think. Apparently its just about some guy whose wandering around student housing and trying to make sense of everything around him

  67. c.... j....

    sound of music 10!!!!

  68. K.... H....
