Which songs, which were Number 1 at Christmas, do these lyrics come from?
To cater for all ages, there are two songs from each decade from the 1950s to the 2010s but they are not in chronological order.
One point for the song, one point for the artist. Where songs were covered, I have put the year.
No Googling!
I'll give the answers on Sunday unless it's ruining @waller02's Christmas and he wants them earlier!
Question 1
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Question 2
Light after darkness my wondrous star
Our hopes and dreams, my heart and yours, forever shining far
Question 3
His philosophy of life will steer him through
And as far as he can see
He's the same as you and me
There's nothing in the world he cannot do
Question 4 (1957 version)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Them see a bright new shining star
Them hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Question 5
Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give?
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to God you'd lie for?
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's really sweet the finest girl
You ever want to meet
Question 6
This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand the writing on it
Question 7
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
Question 8
And I could tell it was gonna be right
'Cause I want meat, yeah, meat
A beige and savory treat
Yeah, I want meat, yeah, meat
Question 9
Ooh, they make me glad, they make me sad
They make me want a lot of things that I never had
You're fooling around with me now
Oh, you lead me on and then you run away
Question 10
Water's running in the wrong direction
Got a feeling it's a mixed-up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Something funny's going on inside my mind
Question 11
I say high, you say low, you say why, and I say I don't know
Oh
Oh no…
Question 12
…And I know you will agree
That she always is a friend to you
And she's a friend to me
Question 13 (1992 version)
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
Question 14
What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
It's almost that feeling that we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell your love has come here and now
These are weird and wonderful times but I wish every on Sky Poker a great Christmas!
