about

[Wilkes 2009] – Recorded at Analogue Cat, Mossley, Gtr Manchester by Rob Ferrier

lyrics

Imagine writing a song called Imagine
Imagine doing anything like that
Sitting at the piano in a white suit
A Japanese girlfriend and siamese cat

They say it came together in the twinkling of an eye
The momentum of the melody was enough to make them cry
For the people all those people in the name of love and peace
Politicians world leaders scumbags and cheats

Imagine writing a song called Imagine
Try and imagine doing something like that
In a darkened room on an eight track machine
On a country estate like the on ewe've all soon
In the film of the song the book of the dream with that really weird kid in the kitchen scene

Is there anyone out there who doesn't know the words
I there anyone still listening to them after all these years
Cause if any son was ever gonna change the world it was this one

Imagine writing a song just like Imagine
Thats the most stupid idea I've ever heard

I'm not fighting some war where everybody dies
Or cheating on a girl telling superficial lies
I'm just trying to get me head around the greatest protest song ever written

Imagine writing a song called Imagine
I imagine doing something like that...
