1971, John Lennon's second solo album Imagine is recorded. George Harrison joins Lennon on a thinly veiled screed against former bandmate Paul McCartney --- the brutal How Do You Sleep?
A new, forthcoming Imagine boxset includes these takes as well as much, much more. It contains 4 CDs, 2 Blue Ray DVDs, and a 120-page booklet.
Personnel on "How Do You Sleep?":
- John Lennon – vocals, electric guitar
- George Harrison – slide guitar
- Nicky Hopkins – electric piano
- Klaus Voormann – bass guitar
- Alan White – drums
[Verse 1]
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Verse 2]
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Verse 3]
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Verse 2]
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
[Chorus]
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
