I will carefully remind myself of the words of a song (especially if it's one I've just decided to sing, because prompted by an earlier song or comment) and then, when I come to sing it, fall over on the chorus! (I even managed that with Marcus Turner's Chocolate song in a singaround I was running at Sidmouth..).

We have a really good singer at Herga who always used to sing with the words in front of her. Breezy told her she was good enough to sing without them, and she has been singing at festivals this year (including Warwick, Sidmouth and the Endeavour and Tap and Spile in Whitby) without them.
