MIND GAMES
We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra 'Peace On Earth'
We all been playing those mind games forever
Dome kinda druid dude lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic - the search for the grail
Love is the answer and you know that for sure
Love is a flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow
So keep on playing those mind games together
Faith in the future out of the now
You just can't beat on those mind guerillas
Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind
Yeah we're playing those mind games forever
Projecting our images in space and in time
'Yes' is the answer - and you know that for sure
Yes is surrender - you got to let it, you got to let it go
So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerillas
Putting their Soul Power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
Love
I want you to make love not war
I know you've heard it before
I want you to make love not war
I know you've heard it before

ABOUT THE FILM
On 15 November 1974, a BBC film crew for 'Old Grey Whistle Test', spent a day filming with John around Central Park and various other locations in New York, to make a video for the song "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night", directed by John. The video was never broadcast, but a small amount of the footage emerged as a very short edit for the song “#9 Dream” in February 1975.
In 2003, for the Lennon Legend DVD release, Yoko Ono purchased all the original camera film reels at auction, which were very aged and damaged from decay and scratching and, working with film editor Simon Hilton, cleaned them up and assembled this incredibly charismatic narrative of John, obviously greatly enjoying himself on a beautiful sunny autumnal day out in New York.
'That was a fun track because the voice is in stereo and the seeming orchestra on it is just me playing three notes with slide guitar. And the middle eight is reggae.'

---------------------------------------
1940年10月9日生まれのジョン・レノン。
私が高校1年生だった1980年の12月、
大馬鹿者によって命を奪われた。
ビートルズより前に、NHK-FMの番組で
『真夜中を突っ走れ』
（Whatever Gets You Thru The Night）
を聴いて、ジョン・レノンのソロ曲を
聴き始めたのでした。
そしてアルバムは、お年玉などを貯めて
東芝盤のLPレコードを集め始めたの
ですが、個人的に好きだったのは、
世間的にはイマイチ評判が薄い！？この
『マインド・ゲームス』を含むアルバム
でした。タイトル曲のこの曲、どことなく
哀愁みたいなモノを当時から感じました。
遠い昔、10代の頃だった70年代の話です。
ジョン、誕生日おめでとう。
