@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf
Do you mind reposting your Christmas message lyrics again ?

NeedToKnow101 · 21/12/2020 21:38

@Honeyroar

Nobody got the Duran one still, you lightweights!
Post a bit more of it, once you've cleaned up the cat sick. Or maybe someone else can do that.

Well the weather is cruel
But the season of Yule
Warms the heart
But it still hurts

@Honeyroar

It was Dancing Horses by Echo & the 🐰men

(Sorry for the delay. The cat just threw up on the new settee!)

Had it eaten some of the after 8s?

Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days

70s

Honeyroar · 21/12/2020 21:42

And watching lovers part
I see you smiling
What glass splinters
Lie so deep in your heart

I think the Shakin Stevens version is the one I was thinking might have been Mud. Elvis did the original and Chris Isaak did a good version in the early 00s.

80s
The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try

Because were keeping the dream alive

No idea who sings

This sounds festive but it isn’t

Crystal bits of snowflakes

And in the wind

A special one for you

Because there's murder by the roadside
In a sore afraid new world
They tried to break us
Looks like they'll try again

And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
