An excellent song by The Cranberries. It is the 9th track of their third album, entitled "To The Faithful Departed", that was released in 1996. The song was written by O'Riordan and Hogan.
--- I Just Shot John Lennon ---
It was the fearful night of December 8th.
He was returning home from the studio late.
He had perseptively known that it wouldn't be nice.
Because in 1980, he paid the price.
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died.
John Lennon died, John Lennon died, John Lennon died.
With a Smith & Wesson 38,
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home,
He should have never cared,
And the man who took his life declared,
He said I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
Ah, ah ah ah, ah...
I just shot John Lennon.
He said I just shot John Lennon.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight.
What a sad and sorry and sickening night.
Ah, ah ah ah, ah...
