Chris de Burgh and his healing hands!!
I was just reading about Chris de Burgh and his claims to be able to perform miracles:-
"Lady In Red singer Chris de Burgh has claims he can perform miracles.
De Burgh insists he has Jesus-like abilities to heal people.
"I have found myself able to cure people with my hands," the Irish singer told television presenter Gloria Hunniford on her BBC show Heaven And Earth."
If he’s so talented – how come he couldn’t get a hit record when Lady Diana died and Elton John grabbed the limelight instead with "Candle In the Wind"
Wot a prat 🙄

What was that song he did about playing cards with the devil on a spanish train?
Peter -
It’s called Spanish Train:
There’s a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
and people hear she’s running still…And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
"Well God’s not around and look what I’ve found,
this one’s mine!!"Just then the Lord himself appeared
in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the Devil,
"Get thee hence to endless night!!"
But the Devil just grinned and
said "I may have sinned,
But there’s no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He’s going underground!!""But I think I’ll give you one more chance"
said the Devil with a smile,
"So throw away that stupid lance,
It’s really not your style",
"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
we’ll play right here on this bed,
And then we’ll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
the souls of the dead!!"And I said "Look out, Lord, He’s going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, He’s going to win!.."Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five,
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he’d have to drive…
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave
and nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight…And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you’ve got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who’ll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace…Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn’t see what the Devil did,
And he said "that suits me fine",
"I’ll raise you high to a hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sins",
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!"And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don’t let him win…"Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she’s running still…
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well, he’s just doing his best…And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you’ve got to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you’ve got to win…" -
Thats the one Chris,
thanks for reminding me.Peter

Having seen both Chris De Burgh and Elton Live Phil, they are both very talented. If he’s such a prat how come he can still fill major venues like the NEC?
Lets face it, Elton was very close to Diana and a bigger name, he was bound to "grab the limelight".

What you lot think of healers?
My father and grandfather and great-grand father used to be do that. When I gave it a go, I just cause intense pain to someone. That can be funny though, next to someone and they complaining about how much their arm/leg what ever hurts.
