    'twas light years of time since his mission did start


    from the generally annoying Spaceman came travelling

    Heard it on the radio again this morning and for some reason I caught myself thinking --- I bet Eaststander likes that line :)

    Can't say I've heard the song

    And why would I particularly like that line?

    Anyway, I'd go with

    Band Aid - "Do they know it's Christmas time at all?"

    Probably not!

    I wish it could be Xmas every day

    How does that work then ? Xmas lasts for twelve days. So how can you have 12 days every day ?

    RE: I wish it could be Xmas every day

    And the shops are all shut on Christmas Day, so how would we do our shopping? They've just not thought it through!

    You must have

    Spaceman came travelling - a Chris de Burgh classic

    And bearing in mind a light year is a measurement of distance not time I thought it would annoy you as much as it annoys me

    I think I know what you are getting at

    Are you referring to "light years of time" when a light year lasts a year, it's a measurement of distance not time, that's like saying it was miles of time!
