john lennon

I cannot help but despise Mark Chapman.

Whatever 'issues' he is supposed to have had cannot excuse the harm he did to music by killing John Lennon.

He should be forced to listen to slipknot in perpetuity!

Pretty much the same.


A bit obvious but Woman has to be my favourite.

As a true band with true irish credentials said
Oh it must seem so romantic
When the fighting's over there
And they're passing round the shamrock
And you're all filled up with tears
"For the love of dear old Ireland"
That you've never even seen
You throw in twenty dollars
And sing "Wearing of the Green"

(Chorus:)
Each dollar a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And Americans kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun

Now you've never stood on Belfast's streets
And heard the bombs explode
Or hid beneath the blankets
When there's riots down the road
No, you've never had your best friend die
Or lost a favourite son
But you'll stand there and tell us
Just what we're doing wrong

Each false word a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And Englishmen kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun

From the minute that you're born you're told
to hate the other side
"They're not like us, they're not the same
We know because we're right"
But can't you see we're all the same
There is no right and wrong
Why can't we stop and realise
We've hated too much, too long

Each old lie a bullet

Each victim someone's son
And Irishmen kill Irishmen
As surely as if they fired the gun

How can you convince yourself
That what you do is right?
When people are dying there
Night after night
Don't you ever wonder
Why it stilll goes on?
The hopes and fears and all the tears
Are buried in your ground
Buried in your ground

Each rumour a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And careless talk kills Irishmen
As surely as if words fired the gun

Well it's lasted for so long now
And so many have died
It's such a part of my own life
Yet it leaves me mystified
How a people so intelligent
Friendly, kind and brave
Can throw themselves so willingly
Into an open grave

Each new day a bullet
Each victim someone's son
And ignorance kills Irishmen
As surely as if we fired the gun

Bye Bye Lennon and I will continue to spit on you every time I fly from Speke to the Harbour.

Something I find increasingly sad in this bitter world we live in is how it's widely accepted for people to have an opinion but how little consideration is generally given to those who wish to show some respect. Rip John.

Law74, do you spit on Lennon (his stature I presume?) solely because of the link you provided?

Or are there other reasons too?

I have a lot of beatles albums, but to worship a person that contributed to the murder of people that I grew up with makes me feel sick.
Every Dollar a Bullet
a superb musician, but his politics and the money he made from his music left some of my friends dead, and that means i will continue to spit on his memory.
