        10) 'Instant Karma! (We All Shine on)'
        Featuring Hinduism-believer George Harrison on guitar, Billy Preston on piano and Yoko Ono on vocals, among others, the song was recorded -- with producer Phil Spector -- in just three run-throughs in the same day, releasing just 10 days later. Fun fact: the song's lyrics inspired Stephen King's 1977 horror novel, 'The Shining.'
        Karma是印度教的用语，意为“业造、缘分、命运”。这首歌当时只录三遍就录好了，十天之后就发行了单曲。里面他的妻子也有献唱哦。有意思的是歌词还启发了恐怖小说大师史蒂芬·金，他随后写出了《闪灵》这部经典小说。
        歌词：
        Instant Karma's gonna get you,
        Gonna knock you right on the head,
        You better get yourself together,
        Pretty soon you're gonna be dead,
        What in the world you thinking of,
        Laughing in the face of love,
        What on earth you tryin' to do,
        It's up to you, yeah you.
        Instant Karma's gonna get you,
        Gonna look you right in the face,
        Better get yourself together darlin',
        Join the human race,
        How in the world you gonna see,
        Laughin' at fools like me,
        Who on earth d'you think you are,
        A super star,
        Well, right you are.
        Well we all shine on,
        Like the moon and the stars and the sun,
        Well we all shine on,
        Ev'ryone come on.
        Instant Karma's gonna get you,
        Gonna knock you off your feet,
        Better recognize your brothers,
        Ev'ryone you meet,
        Why in the world are we here,
        Surely not to live in pain and fear,
        Why on earth are you there,
        When you're ev'rywhere,
        Come and get your share.
        Well we all shine on,

        On and on and on on and on.
        Well we all shine on,
        Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
        Well we all shine on,
        Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
        Well we all shine on,
        Like the moon and the stars and the sun.
        Yeah we all shine on,
        Like the moon and the stars and the sun.

        9) '(Just Like) Starting Over'
        The single, '(Just Like) Starting Over,' hit No. 1 just two weeks after Lennon was murdered outside his New York residence. Lennon chose this song as the debut single for his album, 'Double Fantasy,' because it best represented his five-year hiatus from the music industry to raise his son Sean.
        列侬死后两个星期，这首单曲成为冠军单曲。这是专辑Double Fantasy中的第一支单曲，旨在纪念他为了照顾儿子而暂别乐坛的五年生活。
        歌词：
        Our life together is so precious together
        We have grown, we have grown
        Although our love is still special
        Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone
        It's been too long since we took the time
        No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
        But when I see you darling
        It's like we both are falling in love again
        It'll be just like starting over, starting over
        Everyday we used to make it love
        Why can't we be making love nice and easy
        It's time to spread our wings and fly
        Don't let another day go by my love
        It'll be just like starting over, starting over
        Why don't we take off alone
        Take a trip somewhere far, far away
        We'll be together all alone again
        Like we used to in the early days
        Well, well, well darling
        It's been too long since we took the time
        No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
        But when I see you darling
        It's like we both are falling in love again
        It'll be just like starting over, starting over
        Our life together is so precious together
        We have grown, we have grown
        Although our love is still special
        Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere
        Starting over
