Under the ground there is the sound of a symphony
The lights are low, the fire is bright
#%#%#%^ through, I'll tune in to you, you tune in to me
We'll send a message into the night

Somewhere there is someone who can see what I can see…

Is that someone somewhere in summertime - Simple Minds?

Just to update - my un-guessed Christmas lyric was Cold, cold Christmas by Dana.

I've never heard of that!

Dexterwontstopfarting · 28/12/2023 11:07

I remember Dana

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 28/12/2023 21:43

I know Dana although I've never heard that song. In fact I saw her supporting Little and Large or Cannon and Ball in Blackpool around 1981! Think she also won Eurovision for Ireland.

HarrietPoole · 29/12/2023 10:19

With “All Kinds of Everything” I think. I remember she had very shiny hair…

A. I’m not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
but I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

B. Be yourself
give your free will a chance
you’ve got to want to suceed
(80s)

Honeyroar · 29/12/2023 22:34

C. You looked at me and you see your past.
is that the reason why you’re running so fast?

D. A crowd has gathered
black and white
Arms entwined
the chosen few
