Archdruid: "Lennon finished composing "Imagine" one morning in early 1971, on a Steinway piano, in a bedroom at his Tittenhurst Park estate in Ascot, Berkshire" (Wiki)
All: Oh yeah. Good point.
Archdruid: Never liked its whinging self-righteousness.
Piers Morgan: Wokery! Wokery! All is wokery!
Archdruid: What's that written on your hand, Piers?
PM: Nothing. Nothing.
Archdruid: "I ❤ Meghan"?
PM: Hate. That smudged shape means "hate". It's not a heart that smudged because I've been kissing it. Anyway. What about "Imagine"?
Archdruid: Oh, we're done with that. Terrible hippy bilge.
The Ghost of Malcolm MacClaren: Never trust a hippy.
Burton Dasset: Has anyone seen Bambi?
Neil from the Young Ones: Not me. I'm strictly lentils.
Archdruid: We know. That's why you have to stay in the garden. Right. Altogether.
Imagine there's no Devon
I wonder if you can
Cornwall an island
Like the Isle of Man.
Imagine all the people
Looking for Teignmouth.
You may say I'm a weirdo
And that I'm all alone.
I hope one day you'll join me
Then there will be more than one.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can.
I can't because I'm loaded
And I love it, Man.
Imagine all the people
Singing this utter tosh
You may say this is meanness
I won't say you're wrong
But I'd like to say don't listen
To such a drippy, whiny song.
Imagine there’s no heaven - it’s easy if you try
ReplyDeleteLove always ends in graveyards - you have to wonder why
So many suffering people, but that’s all there is to say
Imagine there’s no countries - it isn’t hard to do
The world is ruled by Google - Big Brother’s watching you
Imagine all the websites eating up our days
You may say “It’s a nightmare!” Well you’re not the only one
I think it’s best if you don’t join us, or your world will come undone
Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can
No one to buy our music - we’ll need a brand new plan
Imagine all the rock stars begging in the streets
You may say “It’s a nightmare!” Well you’re not the only one
I think it’s best if you don’t join us, or your world will come undone
Your post and Tim Chesterton's response have really made me laugh. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear that blithering mind-pap of a song being smacked about a bit.
