Pitstone (formerly Pightelsthorn, with possible variation Pychelesthorn in 1399 ) is a village and civil parish within the Aylesbury Vale district of Buckinghamshire, England. It is located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, about seven miles east of Aylesbury and six miles south of Leighton Buzzard. It directly adjoins the village of Ivinghoe, and the two villages share a number of their facilities.
The village name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'Picel's thorn tree'. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Pincelestorne.
Pitstone was given to the abbey at Ashridge by the Earl of Cornwall in 1283. In 1290 King Edward I spent Christmas in Pitstone at the estate that had been given to the abbey, and stayed for five weeks, during which time he held parliament in Ashridge. His stay caused great inconvenience to the local inhabitants of the village, who were legally obliged to keep the king and his court.
Pressure slowly building like a sky about to rain
Something so electric in the air
All this time we're killing only leads us back again
To the feeling that's been waitin' for us here
It's too late
To be cautious
If it's a mistake
It's one we're meant to make
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Feel the tiger stalkin' in the jungle of the heart
Hungry for the tender and the warm
We can keep on talkin' but as long as we're apart
The feeling just can't break into a storm
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Finding you here
Had the odds of a million to one
And you're the one
Now it's up to us
To finish what fate has begun
Take a chance
When the music is playing
You dance
There's no reason we can't
Shoot the moon
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
Shoot
To
We shoot the moon
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot the moon (It's just the chance we have to take)
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot the moon (There's nothing standing in our way)
'Cause one heart is the most we can lose
And if we shoot
There's no way that the stars can refuse
Shoot
