Impossible to pass - I just listened to covers by the Fureys and they
miss the counterpoint between the soft voice and the brutal imagery.
Also essential listening - The Green Hills of France (aka. No Man's
Land) and Now I'm Easy (tho' you may need an Australian dictionary
for that one). All guaranteed to plunge your Sunday into a melancholy
if you have an ounce of humanity. Pain is also cathartic.
