I'm waking up
Into the shock
My mother says
John Lennon's been shot
I step outside
Into the grey
Life carries on
A different way
People stand in silence
By the factory door
Cigarettes extinguished
Staring at the floor
John Lennon's died
Radio plays
All the old songs
All the hit records
The number ones
On my headphones
The album tracks
Mean more to me
My life soundtrack
People sit in silence
Whilst they drink a pint
His voice on the jukebox
No longer alive
John Lennon's died
