Xmas Carol

next song/previous song

Watching holiday on XTV
Xmas time, xmas tree
Feeling all the years slip by so fast
Xmas ghosts, xmas past
The pushing and shoving xmas stores
Xmas drought, xmas wars

Now I’m going to faceless panic buy
Pay the price for a lie
Sending it express by Wells Fargo
Without the love you used to know
Wrapping paper round a hat and glove
And signed from me, with all my love

And when I lay me down to sleep
I swear I hear the big man climb
But now the chimney’s far too steep
Now at every Christmas time

Pinning all my hopes on Auld Lang Syne
All my cares far behind
It’s only going to be three months till Spring
And twelve months till the same old thing
I remember Christmas snowy white
Now it just rains, it just ain’t right

I leave a pie, unlock the door
Pour him out a glass of wine
But the big man never shows no more
Never every Christmas time

I remember Christmas snowy white
Now it just rains, it just ain’t right
