Julian Lennon Vh1 Behind The Music[The Lyrics
1.Valotte

Written:Julian Lennon/Justin Clayton/Carlton Morales

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford,
I can feel you there
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
How can I explain the meaning of our love?
It fits so tight, closer than a glove
Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

I can see your face in the mirrors of my mind
Will you still be there?
We're really not so clever as we seem to think we are
We've always got our troubles so we solve them in the bar
As the days go by, we seem to drift apart
If I could only find a way to keep hold of your heart

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong?
'Cause I've felt it all along

Sitting in the valley as I watch the sun go down
I can see you there.
Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard
to love you even though you nearly lost my heart
When will we know when the change is gonna come?
I've got a good feeling and it's coming from the sun

Sitting on a pebble by the river playing guitar
Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far
Do you know there's something wrong
We'll stick together 'cause we're strong


2.Too Late For Goodbyes

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Time has gone since I've been with you
We've been starting to die
Now it seems you don't care for me
and I don't understand why
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ever since you've been far away
I've been wanting to fly
Now I know what you meant to me
I'm the one who should cry
And it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ever since you've been leaving me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wanting to die
But it's much too late for goodbyes
Yes it's much too late for goodbyes

Ooh... Ah.....

Dit dit dit dit doo
ba da ba da ba da ba... ba
ba ba ba ba ba... ba ba ba ba ba... ba


3.Say You're Wrong

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

You say you love me, but I think you're wrong
We've had times in the past when we weren't so strong
Well, I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn
The times have changed, I can read your face
There's been so many lies and no tears with your cries
Well I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn

I've been ashamed for so many years
I don't know how to cope when you bring out the tears
And I don't know which way to turn
'Cause I don't know which end to burn

I love you more than a man could say
We've been through a lot
gone our sep'rate ways
'Cause I don't know which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn

I said I love you, well, I do
I don't know whether I'm wrong or whether I'm right
or which way to turn
And I don't know which way to turn


4.Jesse

Lyrics:China Burton
Music:China Burton

Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You can't take it with you
Jesse you're losing yourself
Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Jesse, there's a whole world out there
that you can't ignore
But nickel bags and chrome-lined cars
is that all that you are?
Jesse, you can't get their respect if you don't stop
you don't even want to
Jesse, you're losing yourself

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in
He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again
Jesse you're a fool to yourself
'cause you won't stop
You don't even want to
Jesse you're losing yourself

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

Ooh....Don't be a fool again
There may not be a next time
Ooh....Don't be a fool again...


5.Stick Around

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

If you want to tell me something new
I might stick around
If you want to say that I trust you
I might stick around

But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah

If you say your love won't bring me down
I might stick around
If I kiss your lips just one more time
I could lose control

But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah

If I breathe your scent just one more time
I could be controlled
If you tempt me with your final sin
I could be controlled

But if you disappear
Then nothing will be clear, ah
And if you go away
Then where am I to stay, ah
To stay, ah...(repeat and fade)


6.This Is My Day

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Look at the starry skies
To see what we can find
You never know just what
Just what we left behind
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out?

This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay

Look at your starry eyes
The beauty of your mind
If I kissed you once
Love will make you blind
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out

This is my day
The only night
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay

Look for me when you dream
Or when you're all alone
Let's look at where we've been
The future is unknown
But when you know for sure
Will you help me out

This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only day
The only night I stay
This is my day
The only night
The night you let me stay
This is my day
Let me stay


7.Want Your Body

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

Want your body
Want your mind
Live together
Both unwind
Love is what we need to say
Live together anyway

When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When you know in your heart
That they'll tear us apart
I love you

Want your body
Want your mind
Why are people so unkind
Never listen to what they say
Turn your head and look away

When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When your closin' the door
Don't you look back for more
I love you
Oo, oo, ah. Oo do do do, do do do, do, oo.

Want your body
Want your mind
Live in sin
Let's both entwine
Love is what we need to say
Live together anyway

When you say hello
But you mean goodbye
When you're lying awake
Go ahead and cry
When your closing the door
Don't you look back for more
I love you


8.Now You're In Heaven

Written:Julian Lennon/John Mccurry

Well you could be happy
Ah happy in my arms
Ah don't look distracted
I'll use my fatal charms
Well you could be happy
But only with me
If you come alive
You can spend your life with me

Well now you're in heaven
Well now you're in heaven

Well you could be lovin'
Ah lovin' in my arms
It's after you're happy
You need my lovin' charms
Well you could be lovin'
But only with me
just take hold of my hand
It's a trip in ecstasy

Well now you're in heaven
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in heaven
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in heaven
You're in heaven with me

Well now that you've loved me
Been happy in my arms
You don't look distracted
You lust my subtle charms
Well what do you think now, baby
Do you like it with me
Tell me what you think
'Cause I wanna know
Yes, I wanna know

Well now you're in heaven
(Could be happy, could be lovin')
Well now you're in heaven
(You're in heaven, take hold of my hand)
Well now you're in heaven
You're in heaven with me

Repeat Chorus to fade


9.Angillette

Written:Julian Lennon/John Mccurry

Have a nice day with your Stoli and Gillette
Break the chain awhile
Pretend that we just met
I've tried to help you, but you just don't understand
This love is really not the love that I had planned
Can't you give me what I give you day and night
Is life that hard that you have to let it go
She said that I'm in love with you
I said why can't this love be true
Can't you give back what I gave you
I want my life back, I want you

Please don't call me like you've always done before
As if I need to know am I your basic whore
Just don't tell me that your love is on the line
I'm sure the truth will tell, just give it some more time
I'm sick and tired of playing your little game
(If you tell me your side I will tell you mine)
I'd like to know if you can finally change
(If you tell me your side I will tell you mine)

Why don't you believe my story
I won't tell you lies
You know it's not my dream
And if I tell you lies
You'll only realize

This isn't working out, I can't go on like this
Can't you save her Lord 'cause I just seem to miss
There's only so much one can do to save a friend
I've given her my all, it's useless to the end
Please don't let her die, my mind just won't accept
She is not the kind of girl that's strong or has respect

She said that I'm in love with you
I said why can't this love be true
Can't you give back what I gave you
I want my life back, I want you
Cos I want you


10.I Get Up

Written:Julian Lennon/John Mccurry

You said you'll come on over
And ah love me baby
You said you're gonna come and be mine
But if you're ever, ever gonna leave me baby
You know, I'm gonna have to pull in the line
I hope you're never ever gonna lie to me baby
'Cause if you do I'll certainly die
I wanna just love you and hold you baby
And live in harmony till we die
'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby
I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show
I'll never ever, ever never leave you baby
I'll never ever leave you behind
And if you're ever clever try and leave me baby
You know I'll never let you go
I find I found you feeling finer
Since the day you left the diner
And shared your life and love with me
Still I know I'll make you happy
If you let me be your Pappy
I'll love you till I know you're mine

'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby
And I need you baby
'Cause I love you baby

I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show

I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show

You said you'll come on over
And Ah love me baby
You said you're gonna come and be mine
But if you're ever, ever gonna leave me baby
You know, I'm gonna have to pull in the line
I hope you're never ever gonna lie to me baby
'Cause if you do I'll certainly die
I wanna just love you and hold you baby
And live in harmony till we die
'Cause I love you baby
And I want you baby

I get up, I get down
But it's only when you're around
I get high, I get low
But it only goes to show

Chorus (Fade)


11.Make It Up To You

Written:Julian Lennon/Pat Leonard

I've been waiting in line
I don't have the heart to say goodbye
It's only money
But it won't be much longer
Till we say goodbye
And you know I'm a sentimental kind of thing
And you know if I work hard and I sing
I'm gonna make it up
Gonna make it up to you
Got to make it up
Got to make it up to you

I'm just waiting my time
I'm trying so hard to work it out
It's sometimes funny
But we'll hold on to our love
Till we cry goodbye
And you know I'm gonna try a little harder everyday
'Cause in this life you gotta work hard
To pay

I'm gonna make it up
Gonna make it up to you
Got to make it up
Got to make it up to you

But if my lovin' doesn't hold our love together
I'll be washing my blues away
And if your lovin' can go on until forever
We'll be livin' the news every single day

Chorus (Fade)


12.Listen

Lyrics:Julian Lennon
Music:Julian Lennon

You think you know what makes me happy
You think you know what makes me cry
You think you know everything about me
Well from the horse's mouth it's lies
You say you know the situation
You say you understand just why
You know shit about absolutely nothing
You're gonna get no clues from this guy

You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind

Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced

You're afraid to admit to being guilty
You're afraid to stare at your face
And you pretend that life is always rosy
Wake up and join the human race

How can you honestly say you love me
When you can't even love yourself
You think your word is gospel now
You're just repeating past opinions

You should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind

Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced

Well you should think about not faking all the time
Discretion is a word that's always on my mind

Don't make me listen
I just can't listen
'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown
Just take that red nose off your face
Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced


13.Saltwater

Lyrics:J.Lennon/M.Spiro/L.Spiro
Music:J.Lennon/M.Spiro/L.Spiro

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Saltwater wells in my eyes


14.Day After Day

Lyrics:Julian Lennon/Mark Spiro
Music:Julian Lennon/Mark Spiro

I have walked through the fire as an ordinary man
and if I die, I die in peace, part of all that God has planned,
'cos I believe in you and the best is yet to come,
you've been alone it's true, daddy's work is never done.
In my dreams, every night, I see the waves upon the sand
and you and I walk alone and there's a ring upon your hand.
Yes I believe in you and if my prayers are answered now,
I'm coming back , to you, I'm gonna find a way somehow.

I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day.

Where you are is all there is, the only place I want to be
and love is war and war is cold, when you're so far across the
sea.
still I'm alive, still in love, I hope this letter finds you
well,
through the blood, through the flames, I can hear those wedding
bells.

I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day.

Darling you know the winds of peace are blowing,
(they say the answers written in the wind)
still I can hear the fallen angels singing,
(our love is stronger than the million miles that separate us)

I'm making my way, each morning I pray for you,
day after day,
I'll turn every stone, until I get home to you,
day after day....


15.I Don't Wanna Know

Lyrics:Julian Lennon/Mark Spiro
Music:Julian Lennon/Mark Spiro

I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been.

Oh baby, you were never really good for me
just maybe, you're a stranger to reality
and baby, don't you know you haven't got a clue
'cos lately, I don't know what to do.

I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been.

Oh baby, you said you're changing for the better now
just maybe, you're not as strong as you thought somehow
and baby, you know you're heading down a one way track
and baby, I won't bring you back.

Well, you said you were looking for a better way
but you just keep coming back
to a place you can never seem to get away
that will always hold you back...

Oh baby, you said you'd rather be a daddy's girl,
but lately, you're try'n a fight against the whole wide world
just maybe, you've found a love that you can hold on to
and baby, I pray for you.

I don't wanna know what's going on
and I don't wanna know what's right or wrong
and I don't wanna know who's bed you're in
and I don't wanna know just where you've been...


16.Photograph Smile

Written:Julian Lennon/Greg Darling

There's a light on that covers the blue
and I want to be closer to you
and she's smiling and waving goodbye,
who'd've thought that I'd ever ask why?

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.

And I wait sitting here by the phone,
with the hope that your heart isn't stone
and I wish that you'd call me and cry,
so I'd know how you feel deep inside.

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
under the heavenly blue,
I'm never gonna be closer again,
I'll never know,
I'll never feel you, ever again.

Heavenly voice won't you guide me,
help me I'm falling too deep.

And she's waving goodbye with that photograph smile,
I'm still in love with that photograph smile,
please don't deny me,
I've waited so long,
waited so long,
I want to feel you, feel you again.
