Walking On Thin Ice

Yoko Ono wrote Walking on Thin Ice". She and John Lennon finished the recording of the song on December 8, 1980. Lennon played lead guitar. On their return from the recording studio to their home, Lennon was murdered. He was clutching a tape of a final mix when he was shot.
The song was released in 1981. 
Here at the Meltdown Festival at the South Bank in 2013.  With Siouxsie Sioux . And with Sean Lennon, in white suit, on bass guitar. Earl Slick played rhythm guitar on the original recording. Here he is on lead guitar.

Walking on thin ice
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart ?
