Radio One went through a phase of blanking out the word god in Panic At The Disco, I write Sins. Pointless, especially as "Closing the *blank* damn door" is really rather obvious as to what the offesnsive word was.

They've gone back to allowing the word now though.Phew

Same with Fall Out Boy. They blanked out the word God in the song This Aint A Scene

Agreed.

Fairytale of New York is an unbelievably amazing song - simply because of that line - censoring it out defeats the object and turns it into an average song!

I went to a pub quiz a few weeks back and one of the questions was "what were the boys of the NYPD choir singing?" No one in the room got it right. It obviously had to rhyme with Christmas Day. I always thought it was "all the way"

Your prize is a slice of choc cake left over from my birthday. I'm afraid the kids have picked off all the smarties from the top.

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh,
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadow making hay.
Just to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gosoons at their play.

For the breezes blowin' o'er the sea from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin' praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.

Yet the stangers came and tried to teach us their way.
They scorned us just for bein' what we are.
But they might as well go chasing after moon beams,
Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there's is going to be a life hereafter,
And somehow I am sure there's going to be,
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven,
In that dear land across the Irish sea.
