Ideas for a Beatles lyric tattoo with 10 words or less?

Posted by admin on December 26th, 2009 and filed under beatles lyrics | 10 Comments »

I really want a beatles tattoo, but i need some help finding some really nice lyrics. John is my favourite Beatle, so preferably i’d like the lyrics to be his. suggestions please!

Nothing’s gonna change my world

All you need is love

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

Some kind of happiness is measure out in miles

You can talk to me

Take it easy

Strawberry fields… Nothing is real

From his solo years:

All we are saying is give peace a chance

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine all the people living life in peace

Imagine all the people sharing all the world

Power to the people

War is over if you want it

War is over now
(you could ALMOST combine those last two, but that takes you up to 11…)

On a slightly more silly note:

Except for me and my monkey
(That one, maybe you could even have a small picture of a monkey beneath it…)

This-ism, that-ism, ism ism

I am the walrus

That’s all I can come up with off the top of my head…

    Imagine
    Give Peace a Chance
    The love you take is equal to the love you make (11 words)
    Helter Skelter
    Here comes the Sun

    Hope one of these great and well known lyrics suits you

    A woman after my own heart! lol. I have a very small tattoo of Lennon’s glasses on my shoulder blade….kind of a metaphor for his ’spirit’ watching my back.

    How about just the title to one of his songs…Like "Imagine", "Working Class Hero", "Give Peace A Chance", "How Do You Sleep?"…or the ever popular quotes by him: "The More I See The Less I Know For Sure"…or "Life Is What Happens To You While Your’re Busy Making Other Plans"….that one’s 12 words, but I think he’s worth it!
