Borrowed Time by John Lennon – ***

First released: 1984

Next to "Nobody Told Me", this seems like the most fully realized song from John and Yoko’s "Milk and Honey" album. There none of the persistent jabbering that occurs on "I’m Stepping Out" and "I Don’t Want to Face it", and it doesn’t sound like it’s recorded on a cassette like "Grow Old With Me". It probably would have remained unchanged had Lennon lived. It was the second or third single depending on what country you’re from and it’s on 1990’s "Lennon", "Lennon Legend" from 1997, and "Working Class Hero" from 2005. There’s also a demo version released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology".
