Happy birthday this 30th December to ...

Lyrics: The last one was of course Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, originally one of Charles Wesley's from 1739 but which has apparently been changed subsequently in various ways (including the two lines of the 'chorus'). Spotted by lots of people -- parthenia14, a_t_rain, muggle_prof, golden_d, and tree_and_leaf.

Back -- or forward -- to the 1980s and possibly my favourite song from this artist:

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know (1980s)
