I used to glance beyond the stars

Strange. All the apostrophes in the bit I added have turned into question marks.
Same font as the original text. Must be Office XP (the original was in '97).

Robbie Williams - Let Me Ever Win You
What the Hell's going on here?
My post was best and that is clear
Every day I'm oh-so-near
I could scream!
I'm now a regular you see
But no prizes have been given to me
Will no one show some sympathy
Or care?
Why won't they let me ever win you?
Let me ever win you
I still remember my first try
A masterpiece from my own mind
That Gameaday was in my sight
For sure
But the winners list then proved me wrong
To someone else my prize had gone
Could it be my post had been too long
On there?
Why don't they let me ever win you?
Let me ever win you
I work on all of my posts for ages
Some of them go on for pages
Wanna win some GADs, I'm going crazy
Yeah
There's Ants and Skanks and crazy sheep
Between them all they've won a heap
Of prizes that I would love to keep
Oh yeah
When will they learn that it's gone way past my turn
And send to me some prizes that I so clearly deserve
I'm tired of these cheaters who walk off with my wins
With posts not fit to go in my Recycle Bin
Why won't they let me ever win you?
Let me ever win you
Let me ever win you
My posts are all great
There's never been one that's bad
But each and every day
I am denied the GAD
There is no better poster than me
As everyone knows
If I was on my own they'd still say
'No winning post'
What's going on?!?
Let me ever win you
Let me ever win you
Why won't they let me ever win you?
Let me ever win you
(repeat a bit)
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Come on, just one, come on, just one
Let me ever win you
Let me ever win you
(repeat to fade, becoming increasingly more irate)

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How each new game used to make me smile
And I thought this feeling would last
But these days there a much lower chance
Maybe it's 'cos I'm no longer just a child
March '97 came and went
£250 I had spent
An N64 to show for it
I was so glad that I bought it
But four years on and it's nearly died
And Sega's Dreamcast will retire with pride
Three new machines are in my sight
Which of them should I buy?
Oh my, my, I just cannot decide
Goodbye Sega, see you later, we all know you wont die
As I kiss my old, out of date console goodbye
I wonder which of these new ones should I buy?
Which of these new ones should I buy?
Great games alone aren't always enough
You need a PR guru who really knows their stuff
To make sure your sales don't go slow
But when it comes to people like Nintendo
The games are all you really need to know
Because all of them are worth their weight in gold
Now the GameCube's got a new logo
And we've seen some games at the E3 Expo
And we were amazed, it's true
To see just what Nintendo could do
From right out of it's sleeve it has pulled another ace
To take us all far beyond 'The Third Place'
It's clear now who should win the race
It sure has helped me decide
I started singing
My, my I want one or I'll die
No debating about waiting that's the one I will buy
The other two boys can kiss their @sses goodbye
Nintendo will get it all right this time
With the GameBoy Advance added onto the side
Now for five years we've been under Sony's thumb
With carbon copy sequels that turn our minds numb
But that's not how it used to be
When each console was the cream of the cream
And games had to be seen to be believed
And sequels were full of originality
Now the new king has been falling down
Is its old friend about to steal it's crown?
How badly are they burned?
Has their lesson been learned?
Whereas Sega made a slight false start
The PS2 was falling apart
Causing lots of conflicting remarks
Debating how to decide
I'll be singing
My, my can I hear Sony cry?
Their creation of the 'Station is no favourite of mine
The PS2 is the one I really despise
But sadly it is unlikely to die
For some reason it's sales figures thrive
Now Microsoft have entered the fray
And we all wonder how long they'll stay
Unless they drop the price and fast
You may get a hard drive for your cash
But will this be used to fix the games that crash?
Will game patches be downloaded thick and fast?
Do you know it will cause Microsoft hell
They'll make a real big loss for each Xbox they sell
We all barely took a glance
Will they get a second chance?
The Japanese like things that they make themselves
Home grown stuff is what really sells
Will the Xbox be left on the shelves
And stay there 'till it's died?
Japan is singing
My, my who is this Bill Gates guy
From Nintendo? I don't think so. What's his purpose in life?
He may sell a few of his new consoles stateside
But here it will be left by the side
We've already made up our minds
At E3 they were all in one place
The next generation in the console race
Near each other but far from friends
So come on join a queue but it wont be quick
Getting your hands on an analogue stick
When you've finished you can join the queue again
From the back of a crowd I watched stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No Zelda was to be screened
And no new Mario could be seen
As we talked about the games into the night
Wondering who would put up the best fight
All our faces lit up with delight
And some of us nearly cried
We were singing
My, my we can't believe our eyes
We were praying we'd be playing on those games there that night
The good old days are coming back and are in sight
Singing who says the games market's on the slide
It can hold it's head high with pride
It's all thanks to a distorted cube
That came along with something to prove
Would we just turn and walk away?
Or will we queue outside a store
On the release date or several days before?
We know the answer now we've seen some of the games
Across the forums people screamed
The games looked better than we had dreamed
Many a word was spoken
But not a heart was broken
Of the three consoles that were on show
From Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo
Which to buy we all now know
We can at last decide
And we'll be singing
My, my which of the games will I buy
Star Fox Adventures, of course Zelda and maybe Metroid Prime
But I'll stay well clear of Phantasy Star Online
I wouldn't claim it as a Gameaday prize
Unless they make it better this time
We we're singing
My, my I want one or I'll die
No debating about waiting that's the one I will buy
The other two boys can kiss their @sses goodbye

Gameaday is a contest for the habitual poster of what is known as... (FOGlife!)
And console wars can be debated if you take a route straight through what is known as... (FOGlife!)
Ant's got Playstation2, he gets intimidated by the dirty Ninties - they love a decent game. (FOGlife!)
Who's that newbie postin'? You should cut down on your spamming, mate, get some opinions! (FOGlife!)
All the posters
So many posters
They argue in each thread
Console Wars are their FOGlife
Know what I mean?
We post what we want, except for Dan2K1, whose only capable of lengthy threads
(FOGlife!)
Your Honour and Turbonutter are arguing, and Grix thinks about leaving the site.
(FOGlife!)
We read the open forums, some of us read the Game forums too.
It gives us an enormous amount to post about.
(FOGlife!)
And then we're happy for the rest of the day,
safe in the knowledge there might just be a free game in it for us!
