     As Love-Hounds know, IED has no scruples about cluttering up the
Love-Hounds airwaves with excessive wordblocks. Here are the "complete"
lyrics of _December_Will_Be_Magic_Again_, Lizooshka.


  _December_Will_Be_Magic_Again_

 December will be magic again.
 Take a husky to the ice
 While Bing Crosby sings "White Christmas".
 He makes you feel nice.
 December will be magic again.
 Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney,
 Just a-popping up in my memory.

      Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
      The white city, she is so beautiful
      Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
      Ooh, and see how I fall.
      See how I fall
           ("Fall!") <backwards>
      Like the snow.

      Come to cover the lovers.
            (Cover the lovers,
             But don't you wake them up.)
      Come to sparkle the dark up.
            (Sparkle the dark up,
             With just a touch of make-up.)
      Come to cover the muck up.
            (Cover the muck up,
             Ooh, with a little luck.)

 December will be magic again.
 Light the candle-lights
 To conjure Mr. Wilde
 Into the Silent Night.
 Ooh, it's quiet inside,
 Here in Oscar's mind.

 December will be magic again.
 Don't miss the brightest star.
 Kiss under mistletoe.
 I want to hear you laugh.
 Don't let the mystery go now.

      Ooh, dropping down in my parachute,
      The white city, she is so beautiful
      Upon the black-soot icicled roofs,
      Ooh, and see how I fall.
      See how I fall
           ("Fall!") <backwards>
      Like the snow.

      Come to cover the lovers.
            (Cover the lovers,
             But don't you wake them up.)
      Come to sparkle the dark up.
            (Sparkle the dark up,
             With just a touch of make-up.)
      Come to cover the muck up.
            (Cover the muck up,
             Ooh, with a little luck.)

      Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers.
      Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up.
      Ooh, and I'm coming to cover the muck up.

     All accurate except the German-TV part. The Christmas _Kate_
special was produced for and broadcast first on British TV. First
aired on December 28, 1979. Could you be confusing its
origins with those of the German/Dutch Tour documentary _Kate_Bush_In_
Concert_?
