JOHN LENNON Borrowed Time Lyrics 438/1000 Official Bag One Arts Beatles Framed

Description: *A much better value than the super deluxe Mind Games set!! More limited, less expensive, and you'll see this everyday hanging on your wall!!* John Lennon Borrowed Time lyric 438/1000 Bag One Arts Inc., 1995. Bought this from a gallery in Denver, Colorado in 2004 when Yoko Ono came to town to show this and others in the collection. This is officially sold from the estate of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. To be clear in case you don't see that this is listed as a reproduction in the details, this is a very fancy, extremely nicely done serigraph (I believe they call it) of the original handwritten lyric sheet by John, this is NOT actually signed by John. It is hand numbered, this is 438 our of a limited edition of 1,000. I purchased this framed and complete, as shown, so the framing is very professionally done, as you can see in the photos, with a beautiful cloth mat and the lyric sheet "floating." When it was framed by the gallery, it was sealed, and it has remained so ever since. I am the original owner of this and have all the original paperwork from the purchase. Over the years it has been both displayed and safely stored, always in a smoke free home and environment. It is with some sadness that I let this go, however, I recognize that over the last 20 years there has been many many younger people listening to, and collecting Beatles stuff, and I understand what a fun challenge it can be as a collector and I just know that someone will get a tremendous amount of joy from this. So it's time for it to go to a new home. I chose John's lyrics for Borrowed Time because I feel like they're very personal, and have a deeper meaning now considering how his life was so senselessly cut short. Plus it's a great song that I love. Total frame size is 15 1/2" x 18 1/2" The print itself measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" See photos for all the details, I tried to cover everything in the photos, zoom in to take a closer look. If you have any questions at all or would like any additional information or photos, just write, I'm happy to help. Shipping is US only and will be shipped via FedEx Ground or USPS Priority Mail, your choice. It will be packed extremely well and shipped in a large box that is very thick and sturdy, a box that I received a frame glass in it, so it's made for safely shipping framed art and glass. I will ship this same day it is sold and paid for, unless that is after hours, in which case I will ship first thing the very next morning. If you would like to use a different method of shipping, please get in touch and I will find out the details and the amount and will send you a new invoice with the shipping amount for the service requested. If you are in the New York City area, or close by and want to pick it up in person, I'm open to that if you message me ahead of time and we can talk about how that would work, also so I can see you are a normal, safe person. Same for you with me. I take very good care in shipping the few items I sell safely and quickly, as I'm mainly a buyer here who buys random stuff impulsively on eBay and I know what it's like to have a seller that doesn't pack something well, or doesn't communicate, or waits a week or more to ship something you've purchased. So while this isn't a job for me, and I don't sell much, I do take it seriously and will make sure your item has lots of photos, is described accurately, is packed well, and shipped fast and safely. "Borrowed Time" is a song from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's last album, Milk and Honey. While the single failed to chart in the United States, it charted at number 32 in the UK Singles Chart. The B-side features Ono's song "Your Hands" from the same album. Single by John Lennon from the album Milk and Honey B-side "Your Hands" (Yoko Ono) Released 9 March 1984 (UK) 11 May 1984 (US) Recorded 6 August 1980 Songwriter(s) John Lennon Producer(s) John Lennon Yoko Ono The song was inspired during Lennon's 1980 sailing holiday from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda. During the journey, Lennon's yacht encountered a prolonged and severe storm, resulting in most of the crew eventually succumbing to profound fatigue and seasickness. Lennon (free of seasickness) was eventually forced to take the yacht's wheel alone for many hours. Lennon found this terrifying but invigorating, with the effect of both renewing his confidence and making him contemplate the fragility of life (Lennon claimed his recovery from heroin addiction some years earlier had rendered him immune to seasickness). Once he arrived in Bermuda, Lennon heard the line 'living on borrowed time' from Bunny Wailer's "Hallelujah Time" and was inspired by his recent experience to write the lyrics around that theme. Wailer was also the inspiration for the reggae feel of the music. Lennon commented that living on borrowed time was exactly what he was doing but then said, "come to think of it, it's what we're all doing, even though most of us don't like to face it." Borrowed Time / Lyrics When I was younger Living confusion and deep despair When I was younger Living illusion of freedom and power When I was younger Full of ideas and broken dreams (my friend) When I was younger ah hah Everything simple but not so clear Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Now I am older The more that I see the less that I know for sure Now I am older The future is brighter and now is the hour Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Good to be older Would not exchange a single day or a year Good to be older Less complications everything clear Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow Living on borrowed time Without a thought for tomorrow John Winston Ono Lennon (born John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 8 December 1980) was an English singer, songwriter, musician and peace activist who achieved worldwide fame as founder, co-songwriter, co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles. Lennon's work was characterised by the rebellious nature and acerbic wit of his music, writing and drawings, on film, and in interviews.
