Queen's 'Flash'

Flash! Ah! Saviour of the universe!
Flash! Ah! He'll save every one of us!
"Seemingly there is no reason for these
Extraordinary intergalactical upsets. (Ha ha ha!)
What's happening Flash?"

Only Dr Hans Zarkov, formerly at NASA,
Has provided any explanation.

Flash! Ah! He's a miracle!

This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse,
Is no cause for alarm!

Flash! Ah! King of the impossible!
He's for every one of us,
Stand for every one of us,
He'll save with a mighty hand,
Every man every woman every child,
With a mighty Flash!

"General Gala - Flash Gordon approaching!"
"What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire all weapons
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!"

Flash! Ah!
"Gordon's alive!"

"Flash! Ah! He'll save every one of us!

Just a man with a man's courage,
He knows nothing but a man,
But he can never fail,
No one but the pure in heart,
May find the golden grail, oh oh oh oh.

Flash! Flash! I love you!
But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth, Flash!

Bush! Ha ha! Saviour of his own ass.
Bush! Ha ha! He'll bugger every one of us!

Seemingly, there's hardly any reasons for this senseless, illegal war,
remorseless savagery, horror, and continuing very meddlesome occupation.
Ah, what the hell's happening, George?
"Duh? Sorry. Search me!"

Aarrggh! Only Dr. Hans Blix, a former U.N. weapons inspector, can provide any explanation:
"Bush! Ha ha! He's a Texan idiot!"

"Hark! Faithful poodle hazard! Tony Blair approaching!"
"Huh? What do you mean Tony Blair approaching? Off after him, fast!
Have no fear! Have my NASA staff fire off all 'P.R. Vapo-Spin' heavy missile systems!
Despatch the Chancellor to save the United Kingdom from fall!"
"Aha! Flash Gordon's alive?"

Bush! - Ha ha! - Saviour of all halfwits.

He's just a man with only half a mind,
- He knows naff all, nothing.
Even he can never, never fail,
For no-one save the US of A can have the golden oil.
(What a joke!)

"Sorry George, I hate you! Thankfully, we have ONE election to save the Earth!"

'Sherry' - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry, Sherry baby

Sherry baby
Sherry, can you come out tonight
Sherry baby
Sherry, can you come out tonight

(Why don't you come out) to my twist party
(Come out) Where the bright moon shines
(Come out) We'll dance the night away
I'm gonna make-a you mi-yi-yi-yine

Sherry baby
Sherry, can you come out tonight
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight)
You-oo-ooh better ask your mama
Tell her everything is all right

(Why don't you come out) with your red dress on
(Come out) Mmm, you look so fine
(Come out) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you make me lose my mind

Sherry baby
Sherry, can you come out tonight
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight).....

Sherry... sorry... Kerry baby!
Kerry, can you come out tonight?
Here, I'm sorry 'bout Bush,
Camp out tonight.

(Why don't you come out)
To this macho gay bar
(Hey handsome, come out)
There's amyl-nitrate here,
(Come out)
Where we'll dance the night away,
You're my obsession!

Sorry, Kerry baby!
Kerry, can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Hey honey, you had best tell your wife,
Tell her gay marriage's all right!

(Why don't you come out)
Misbehave, with your shiny dress on?
(Come out)
Your firm, horny butt's oh so fine!
Nail varnish? Mmm yes!
(Come out)
I say! Move it nice and easy!
Hey boy, I'm gonna lose my mind!

Sherry... sorry, Kerry baby,
Can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight).....

'Do They Know It's Christmas?' - Band Aid

It's Christmas time; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

But say a prayer to pray 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
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting 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

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed my drug habit - Bank-Raid

It's Christmas time, no, there's nothing left,
My band's been on the downwards slide for many years.
With Christmas time, there's a chance
For death and tragedy,
To revive dead, flagging careers.
And in our world of mullets,
We do our tiny bit for "Charidee",
Then release our Greatest Hits,
At Christmas time.

I'll say a prayer,
Wish that to the stores you run.
It's Christmas time,
I'll knock Sir Cliff off Number One!

The rockstar mansion needs new windows,
And I'm well overdrawn, I fear.
Let's go the the studio bathroom,
Where that snow white powder disappears.
Now don't let me forget my lines
Or then it's history fast, I fear.
Well thank God for Mr Geldof,
It's down to his shrewd idea, that I'm still here!

Well, they won't YET have heard of me in Africa
With the other fading, D-List, has-been bands.
To there, I might go right away,
I need that winter tan, that hot-weather holiday.
Let's get high at Christmas time!

Toast! Here's to us!
Raise that glass to No. One!
Here's to me!
How my career will just run and run!
What? Don't you know it's Christmas time?
