[00:31] |
well, I can't wait for xmas |
[00:34] |
been buckle-knee'd and listless |
[00:36] |
and you say that you've been wishing weeks away |
[00:43] |
they hung the lights out in the street |
[00:48] |
twisted around the boughs of the trees |
[00:51] |
the choirs sung its holiest refrains like Gloria |
[01:01] |
hosanna in the highest |
[01:04] |
heaven knows |
[01:06] |
this year's been black and blue |
[01:11] |
but we're alright |
[01:14] |
and this xmas could be white for me and you |
[01:26] |
I still can't sleep on xmas eve |
[01:48] |
and we'll never miss a beat |
[01:51] |
scarlet-faced from whiskey neat in the cold |
[01:56] |
singing and dancing in the dark |
[02:01] |
oh I hope these words will do |
[02:05] |
I've had my doubts but not about you |
[02:08] |
im drunk and hearing voices from car parks |
[02:14] |
and this year oh I've got love in me and I hope you know |
[02:25] |
Gloria in Excelsis Deo |
[03:16] |
if I should fall from grace |
[03:20] |
if I should leave this dear green place |
[03:23] |
and if xmas fades without a trace |
[03:30] |
I still want you around |
[03:33] |
there's magic in this grey old town you know |
[03:38] |
you should share in the refrain |
[03:43] |
if you think you know the songs |
[03:47] |
who cares of all the words are wrong |
[03:50] |
who cares if it barely ever knows |
[03:56] |
but still the choir smiles |
[04:00] |
the carol of the bells echoes |
