Stand By Me Lyrics

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me,...

The lyrics of this song are beautiful and easy to understand. The reason John Lennon chose to cover it is a different story. There is a group of Nazis and other terrorists who have been reading people's minds during sexual activity for decades and harassing them about it in a public manner. John was the target of a lot of terror. I personally have noticed my music player has played songs from the Stand By Me movie soundtrack album after sexual activity and common sex fantasies, referred to by terrorists as "cucking". My guess is John heard Ben E. King's Stand By Me on the radio many times after intimacy, and it was the terrorists' way of saying he had "been cucking". There's never been a more despicable group of people in history, and John had clever way of communicating his personal experiences.

i recon this has got fvck all to do with Lennon and was written by Ben E King. I reckon i had no chance of standing by plastic socialist Lennon as he was too busy rubbing shoulders with his rich friends.
