about

There appears to be some static happening between John and Yoko. They have moved into the Dakota and John is not happy with the lack of attention he has been getting from Yoko. Here, he states his complaint.

lyrics

Am I a fixture?
A still standing mixture
Of all that remains
Ten years later
Fastened to the floorboards
A rebellion that conforms
Why am I alone in my celebrity?
Celebratory celibacy
No-one to whisper my name in ecstatic clarity
Collectively split down the middle
I’m non-committal to this way of living anymore
A locked tight stage door for this troubadour
This repressive deluding
What are we alluding?
An omnipotence and a dissonance ignored
Should I drive myself to distraction
For a fraction of your love?
Am I just another abstraction to be disposed of?
Should I keep calm and carry on?
One more negotiation to be withdrawn
Yes is the answer but no is the reality
Barring sensuality
Why do you stay with me if I’m not your cup of tea?
Shall I ask the Tarot, Mrs Ono?
Or check the numbers Mrs Lennon?
I’d ask the stars
But above there is no heaven
