COLDPLAY: 'WE CAN'T WRITE XMAS SONGS'

British rockers COLDPLAY love writing Christmas songs, but have given up because they are so bad at it.

The Yellow hitmakers have decided to stick to recording cover versions of classic festive hits instead.

Frontman Chris Martin writes on the band's website, "We love Christmas songs, but every time we try and write one it's awful. So we cover them. Well, once or twice actually.

"The one song I would most liked to have written is 'Fairytale of New York' by de bloody (sic) Pogues of Ireland."

The group have posted their version of The Pretenders' 1984 hit 2000 Miles on the Internet as a Christmas present for fans.
