Unseen Lennon Lyrics To Be Displayed

• 13th Aug 2009

Previously unpublished lyrics written by John Lennon about 40 years ago have gone on display for the first time.

The lyrics, written on a postcard, form part of an exhibition at The Beatles Story in Liverpool put together by his first wife, Cynthia, and son, Julian.

They appear to refer to the romantic pursuit of a woman and experts say they might have been written in 1966 – the year Lennon first met Yoko Ono.

“There is no evidence he ever set the unpublished lyrics to music, a spokesman for the exhibition said.”

Julian Lennon commented “If the time was right, I would consider looking at the lyrics and maybe trying to work with them and write something.
