John Denver's estate has sent in his original lyric.
Also, each contestant has a little longer write up of their stile, in the threaded tweet below the poll.

Was in a café in Inverness yesterday. Couple on the table next to us were very definitely on a date. Part way through, he brought out three bits of nice sandstone he'd wrapped in kitchen roll to show her.

Walking the dog just now. It's not like this but just humour me. Solo young person heading to the campsite from where I've taken this picture. 'Are there any tourist attractions round here?' I gesture around, hopelessly. 'Like a zoo, or a theme park?' they clarify.

I've spent the last 10 days or so watching The Beiderbeck Affair and sequels. Feels really fresh still, Alan Plater's writing is ace, and the acting is great. On ITVx.
And, I'm sure that Wallace and Grommet give it more than a nod.
