Steeleye Span
"All Around My Hat"



Chorus
All around my hat I will wear the green willow
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

Chorus

Here's a quarter a pound of reasons, and a half pound of sense
A small sprig of time and as much of prudence
You mix them all together and you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he

Chorus ​

One word to utter robbery:

 

[Eulaliya]

Alright, back to the drawing board again. It might be either in two options:

1) Returning artist, internal selection
2) Battle of the decades NF

The ER Royal Television has yet to decide 's direction for next edition...

 

[Eulaliya]

It's official: ER Royal Television has chosen the internal selection with a returning artist but from a previous juror's tenure.
The Battle of the Decades will commence in WV 134 during the new year

 

[Eulaliya]

Confirmed: The returning artist we've sent is not during Mike's two tenures, but any London juror before him.

It can be from the tenures of SpZ, Celia, DanielLuis, Staewi, Milos, DaFlo, Robert, Calvin, Fabi, Gabe, Elgars, João, Gera or Ashley. But only one will make it to the selection... stay tuned

 

[Looren]

Please either Tom Oddel or Ed Sheeran

WV133
Erasure
"Always"



Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony harmony oh love

Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion

When it's cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame ​

 

[theditz83]

My favourite Erasure song EVER - such amazing childhood memories all linked in with this song

 

[Eulaliya]

My sincere thanks for giving our synth-pop boys a place in the final
For next edition, will take a break due to a two-week family holiday coming up in a few days. And we'll be preparing for WV135 the return of our own Battle of the Decades incarnation!
As for this year's Christmas Spin-off, I'll try to vote as soon as marc's show is up!

 

[theditz83]

Thank you once again Eulaliya so so sooooooo much for sending my favourite Erasure song to the contest! What an amazing song and thanks for bringing back all of those beautiful childhood memories to me
