Reseña
"Some Time in New York City" es un álbum realizado a dúo entre John Lennon y Yoko Ono, contando con la colaboración por tercera ocasión del productor estadounidense Phil Spector. El álbum obtuvo peores críticas que los anteriores y sus ventas fueron también bastante más reducidas.
El álbum, lanzado en Estados Unidos en junio de 1972, fue grabado en noviembre de 1971, tras haberse mudado Lennon y Yoko a vivir a la ciudad de Nueva York un par de meses antes. Muy pronto comenzaron a relacionarse con activistas y comenzaron a manifestar sus protestas por algunas de las políticas del gobierno estadounidense. Por dicho motivo fueron investigados por el FBI y amenazados con la deportación por el presidente Richard Nixon.
Con este panorama, contrataron a la banda Elephant's Memory para acompañarles en las nuevas grabaciones que tenían previstas. De esa manera, nacen canciones como "Woman is the Nigger of the World", una crítica de Yoko Ono hacia el machismo vigente en la sociedad, asemejándolo al racismo supremacista de los blancos contra los negros.
"New York City" es un tema rockero que explica los primeros meses de Lennon en Estados Unidos, mientras que "John Sinclair" es un tema en contra del encarcelamiento de John Sinclair, poeta, escritor y activista político estadounidense.
El disco, considerado como muy radical por su alto contenido político, tuvo una repercusión mucho menor que "Imagine". Fue censurado en algunas emisoras y fuertemente criticado por el sector más conservador que gobernaba en Estados Unidos. Desde el propio gobierno se lanzó una campaña de investigación e las actividades de la pareja Lennon-Ono.
Al álbum se le acompañaba en su edición original un segundo disco que incluía parte de un concierto ofrecido el 15 de diciembre de 1969 en el Lyceum Ballroom de Londres, con la participación de Eric Clapton, George Harrison y Keith Moon. Igualmente, se incluían varios temas de Frank Zappa y The Mothers of Invention interpretadas durante un concierto en junio de 1971.

[X]letra de Woman Is The Nigger Of The World
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it...do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she is above us
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Ah yeah...better screem about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she would be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yeah (think about it)
We insult her everyday on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is
If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with
Woman is the slaves of the slaves
Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.

[X]letra de Attica State
What a waste of human power
What a waste of human lives,
shoot the prisioners in the towers
Forthy-three poor widowed wives
Media blames it on the prisioners,
But the prisioners did not kill
"Rockefeller pulled the trigger"
That's what the people feel.
Attica, Attica state, we're all mates with Attica state.
Free the prisioners, free the judges
Free all the prisioners everywhere,
All they want is truth and justice
All they need is love and care
They all live in suffocation,
Let's not wathc them die in sorrow,
Now's the time for revolution,
Give them all chance to grow.
Attica state......
Come together join the movement,
Take a stand for human rights,
Fear and hatred clouds our judgement,
Free us all from endless night,
Attica state....
We are all mattes...
We all live in......
Attica, Attica, Attica state. - Born In A PrisonVer letra
[X]letra de Born In A Prison
We are born in a prision,
raised in a prision
Send to a prision called school,
We cry in a prision,
We love in a prision,
We live in a prision,
like fools.
Wood becomes a flut when
it's loved,
reach for your self and your
battered mates.
Mirror becomes a razor when
it's broken,
Look in a mirror and see
your shattered fate.
We live with no reason,
Kicked around for no reason,
Thrown out without reason
like tools.
Work in a prision
And hate in aprision
And die in a prision
as a rule.
We live in a prision
Among judges and wardnes
And wait for no reason or use
We laugh in a prision,
Go through all four seasons
And die with no vision
or truth - New York CityVer letra
[X]letra de New York City
Standing on the corner
Just me and yoko ono
We was waiting for jerry to land
Up come a man with the guitar
in his hand
Singing "have a marijuana if you can"
His name was Davis Peel
And we found that he was real
He sangs"The pope smokes
dope everyday"
Up come a police man shoved
us up the street
Singin, "power to the
people today!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
Well we went to max's
Kansas City
Got down the nitty gritty
With the Elephants Memory
Band
Laid something down
As the news spread around
About the Plastic Ono
Elephants Memory Band!
Well we played some funky
boogie
And laid some tutti frutti
Singing "Long tall sally's
a man"
Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher
Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
Well we did the Staten
Island Ferry
Making movies for the telly
Played the fillmore and
Apollo for freedom,
Tried to shake our image
Just a cycling through
the village
But found that we had left it
back in london.
Well nobody came to bug us,
hustle ud or shove us
so we decided to make it
our home
If the man wants to shove
us out
We gonna jump and shout
The Statue of Liberty said,
"come!"
NYC...NYC...NYC
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?
NYC down in the village
What a bad-ass city!
Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY? - Sunday Bloody SundayVer letra
[X]letra de Sunday Bloody Sunday
Well it was sunday
bloody sunday
When they shot the people there
The crys of thirteen marty martyrs
Filled the free derry air.
Is there any one among you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was
bleeding
When they nailed the
coffin lidds!
Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!
You claim to be majority
Well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority
Oh this sweet emerald asle.
When Stormont bans
our marchers
They've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer
It's those mother's turn
to burn!
Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!
You anglo pigs and scotties
Sent to colonize the north
You wave your bloody
Union Jacks
And you know what it's worth!
How dare you hold on to ransom
A people proud and free
Keep ireland for the irish
Put the english back to sea!
Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!
Yes it's always bloody sunday
In the concentration camps
Keep Falls and roads free forever
From the bloody english hands
Repatriate to britain
All of you who call it home
Leave ireland to the irish
Not for London or for Rome!
Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day! - The Luck Of The IrishVer letra
[X]letra de The Luck Of The Irish
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!
If you could keep voices like flowers
There'd be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
In the 'Pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
Of the pain, the death and the glory
And the poets of auld Eireland
If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like Galway Bay
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would be one big Blarney stone
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids the IRA
As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!
If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you was dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!
Yes you'd wish you was English instead! - John SinclairVer letra
[X]letra de John Sinclair
It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir of breathing air
Won't you care for John Sinclair?
In the stair of breathing air.
Let him be, set him free
Let him be like you and me.
They give him ten for two
What else can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta.....gotta, set him free.
If he had been a soldier man
Shooting gooks in Vietnam
If he was the CIA
Selling dope and making hay
He'd be free, they'd let him be
Breatthing air, like you and me
They gave me ten for two
What more can the judges do?
Gotta, gotta....gottta set him freee.
Was he jailed for what he done?
Representing everyone
Free john now, if we can
From the clutches oof the man
Let him free, lift the lid
Bring him to his wife and kids.
They gave me ten for two
What more can the bastards do?
Gotta, gotta...gotta set him free... - AngelaVer letra
[X]letra de Angela
Angela, they put you in
prison
Angela, they shot down
your man
Angela, you`re one of the
millions of political
prisioners in the world.
Sister, there's wind that
never dies
Sister, we're breathing
together
Sister, our loves and hopes
forever keep
on moving oh so slowly
in the world.
Angela, can you hear the
earth is turning?
Angela, the world
watches you.
Angela, you soon will be
returning to your sisters and
brothers of the world.
Sister, you're still a people
teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million
different races but we all
share the same future
in the world.
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but
the jailhouse key.
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything
but equality. - We're All WaterVer letra
[X]letra de We're All Water
There may be not much
difference
Between Chairmon Mao and
Richard Nixon
If we strip them naked.
There may be not much
difference
Between Marylin Monroe and
Lenny Bruce
If we check their coffins.
There may be not much
difference
Between White House and and
Hall of People
If we count their windows.
There may be not much
difference
Between Raquel Welch and
Jerry Rubin
If we hear their heartbeat.
We are all water from
different rivers
That's why it's so easy to to meet
We are all water in this vast,
vast ocean
Someday we'll evaporate
together.
There may be not much
difference
Between Eldridge Cleaver and
Queen of England
If we bottle their tears
There may be not much
difference
Between Charles Manson and the Pope
If we press their smile
There may be not much
difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we hear you sing.
There may be not much
difference
Between Rockefeller and you
If we show our dreams
