My vote:
Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

He wrote and helped write plenty of leftist songs and songs on the Irish question. He and Paul McCartney brought out an album which was banned. It had songs on it like 'Give Ireland back to the Irish' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' along with others. I can't remember the name or year of it though. I'll have a look. |

Ah well it's down to the typical media black outs. I got all this info off some old Irish musician down the back arse of Ireland somewhere some drunken night. Check this out - www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ILmbbUYWw |

You want the ultimate? Here... www.seedstar.net/undeep/diggers.htmlIts actually a true story during the English revolution I believe. The Diggers were not Marxist communists (since Marx didnt even exist Duh.) but christian/catholic. There have been many versions, including one by the "Black Family". I personally think the one by DlCK GAUGHAN to be the best, followed by the Black family (not shown on that website) and then the original - shown on website. Very touching song (I even have a recorded tape in my car with it on it). IMO, better than John Lennons Imagine - and much much less known. Unfortunate really.  |
