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.

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.
