Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

@ukesruletheydo Coincidentally, I was watching Steve Martin play his banjo on the Muppets a few days ago, on utube. I still think he should stick to comedy.

@65scratch1 Tell that to Steve Martin or Bela Fleck...

Oh dear, a BP advert at the beginning, is it just me who sees a sad irony there?

@jbkitty91990 If you'd ever listened to a 'banjo band' you'd know what I mean! A banjo is like a piano accordion : the definition of a gentleman is someone who knows how to play either - and never does.

@65scratch1 what do you mean of course it is

1:30 the best banjo solo ever

@spenceofsong A banjo isn't a musical instrument!!

Ed McCurdy was an American folk singer, songwriter, and television actor. His anti-war classic, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" inspired and gave hope to those in the peace movement.

@TheSwede70 Theyre both by Paul Simon

A kind of early Lennons 'Imagine'. OH IF ONLY. But I think if God exists, He'll say "NOT IN MY LIFTIME."

I like the line "And the people in the streets below/Were dancing round and round" because these are the people who fight and die in the wars created and waged by the upper class. If only the "people in the streets below" would realize what a waste current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are, and scatter their guns and swords and uniforms on the ground! The politicians aren't interested in peace, so it falls to the gullible people who enlisted to stand up and be courageous.
