Draft of Lennon lyricswill go up for auction
A draft of the lyrics to "I'm Only Sleeping," written by Lennon for the "Revolver" album, could fetch more than 200,000 pounds ($369,000) at a London sale Sept. 28, Christie's International says. Lennon wrote the 17 lines of the song mostly in blue ink on the back of a bill for his car phone dated April 25, 1966, the London-based auction house said. The lyrics are being sold by a collector who kept them for more than 30 years after receiving them as a gift from Lennon, Christie's said. Beatles documents are top sellers at pop-memorabilia auctions. A handwritten copy of "All You Need Is Love" sold for a hammer price of 600,000 pounds at a July sale conducted by a different company.
