Do They Know It’s Christmas
Originally posted on December 15, 2019
The biggest selling U.K. single of all time, but do the lyrics stand the test of time?
“Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived
If the table was turned would you survive
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless
Give a little help to the helpless”
