actually, i never tire of listening to "Do They Know It's
Chiristmas" by the original mob Band Aid... from 1984 (seems an
ice-age ago)
i still have their 12" and 7" single somewhere in the
house...
it's Christmas time
there's no need to be afraid
at Christmas time
we let in light and we banish shade
but in a world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
throw your arms around the world
it's Christmas time!
but say a prayer
a prayer for the other ones
at Christmas time
it's hard but when you're having fun
there's a world outside your window
and it's a world of dread and fear
and the only water flowing is
the bitter sea of tears
and the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you...
those words still ring true... after 21 years.. we still have not
learnt...
