Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down and Out) by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1974

A slower track from Lennon’s "Walls and Bridges" album that is saved by a very poignant lyric especially in light of the events of 1980. A demo version is also included on the 2005 CD reissue. A demo version was also released in 1986 on "Menlove Avenue", 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology" and "Wonsaponatime", and 2006’s "Remember". The original released version is also on 1990’s "Lennon" and "Working Class Hero" from 2005. This song has nothing to do with the Derek and the Dominos song "Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out", but I’m sure Lennon stole the title when composing this.
