christmas with a small c
christmas with a small c
c is for the cake
we used to bake
stirring in the wishes
we used to make
months in preparation
and left to sit and wait
til it was
Christmas with a capital C
Christmas with a capital C
C for Jesus Christ
the fabled babe
lying in a manger
with animals and hay
in his mother's arms
awaiting for the day
come what may
then it was
christmas with a small c
christmas with a small c
c is for the calendar
we open each day
in anticipation of
chocolate shapes
tearing thru the tin foil
to find a smiling face
come what may.

Remember the places
We used to go?
Grottoes and icecapades
Faces aglow
Became so jaded
What did we know?
Singing the same old
Same old, same old
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
With a difference
Oh I know
Its taken its toll
A year almost over
Where did it go?
A year of dystopia
Year of go slow
Let's look to the future
You know it's so near
Cos '21 baby could still
Bring some cheer
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
It's Christmas
with a difference
Oh I know
I'm holding you close
Oh I know
I won't let you go.

Rolling In The Snow

Christmas
Comes but once a year
Season
Of good will and cheer
Rolling in the snow
Rolling in the snow
Should the snow appear
We could go
Rolling in the snow
Rolling in the snow
When the coast is clear
No-one else would know
No-one else would know
If we disappear
I don't even know
What we did last year
Nowhere else to go
Nowhere else to go
So we just stayed here
Shall we just stay here?
There's always next year
Have no fear
Have no fear.

I wanted to believe
In Christmas
In peace and in
Good will to all
I wanted to believe
In Christmas
But I don't feel
Christmassy at all
Time to be with family
I never see
Time to be with friends
I never call
I try to breathe some life
Into the fantasy
But I don't feel
Christmassy at all
They're playing all the songs
In Tesco, In Dolce Jubilo and co
They're playing Home Alone
In double bills
in places I don't want to go
In places I don't want to go
Nostalgia for a Christmas era
Long ago, when grown ups now
Were oh so very small
I don't know what kids now
Would make of it though
Do they feel christmassy at all?
I wanted to believe in Christmas
I wanted to believe in Christmas
I wanted to believe in Christmas
I wanted to believe.
