lyrics

An ‘authentic’ Christmas, is that too much to ask?
I’m sick and tired of hopes and dreams belonging to the past.
A real life Christmas, it’s just not meant to be,
I tried so hard to make it be but that died thick and fast

Where are all the carol singers knocking at my door?
Normally I’d send them home, tonight I just need more
I want to hear those sombre tones of winter in the air,
Kiss my love goodnight and sing…

La, la, la...

An X-rated Christmas because Krampus is my style,
And I won’t cramp my style for what they say on my TV,
Daft old things like watch your weight, just quit with all that drab,
Your adverts in the January blues won’t spoil it all for me

Where are all the carol singers knocking at my door?
Normally I’d send them home, tonight I just need more
I want to hear those sombre tones of winter in the air,
Kiss my love goodnight and sing…

An authentic Christmas, what’s that’s even mean?

I hear the little boy and he’s possessed right to the core
He saw a shooting star and swears that Santa’s at the door,
I see his smile, I know that voice,
His Grandad’s saved us all,
Behind him now the carol sings
La La La
