Og siden det nærmer seg jul, hva med denne? Den har jeg forsåvidt presentert på Retrospekt før, men det er jo noen år siden.
Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
Happy Xmas
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by Yoko Ono and John Lennon
I dag er det 26 år siden John Lennon ble skutt og drept utenfor sitt hejm i New York. John Lennon vil alltid bli husket som den progressive Beatle, helt fra tiden i The Quarrymen, i Tyskland og ikke minst for sitt ekteskap med kunstnerinnen Yoko Ono. Men sangene hans lever videre, uansett.
