A friend mentioned a song yesterday on her Facebook page.  It was Band Aid’s ‘Do they know it’s Christmas’. 

Think I’ve mentioned before that I really might need to work on using my edit button. (Says the owner of the ‘Shut-up Buddha’). Here my friend was feeling warm and fuzzy and having memories flooding back and I just had to click on the comment box.

That song is the first of two that drive me bananas!  Don’t get me wrong, very catchy tunes – love the artists – this is strictly lyric related. 

Let’s take a look at a couple of lines shall we?

“And the Christmas bells that ring there, are the clanging chimes of doom,
 well tonight thank God it’s them, instead of you”.

WTH?  “Chin up Africa, better you than me eh?”

I don’t think praying and saying ‘thank you’ for your blessings is quite the same…
