Im looking forward to Christmas
Its sentimental I know, but I just really like it
Im, Im hardly religious
Id rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
The commercialisation of an ancient religion
And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
But I still really like it.
Im looking forward to Christmas
Though Im not expecting a visit from Jesus
Ill be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun
Ill be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
Well be drinking white wine in the sun.
I dont go for ancient wisdom
I dont believe just cause ideas are tenacious it means that theyre worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
And yes I have all of the usual objections
To the mis-education of children who in tax-exempt institutions
And taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs.
Im not expecting big presents
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me.
Cause Ill be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun
Ill be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
Theyll be drinking white wine in the sun.
And you my baby girl
My jetlagged infant daughter
Youll be handed round the room
Like a puppy at a primary school
And you don't understand
But you will learn yourself one day
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people wholl make you feel safe in this world
My sweet blue-eyed girl
And if my baby girl
When youre twenty-one or thirty-one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself six thousand miles from home
Youll know whatever---- comes
Your brother and sister, and me and your mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun
whenever you come
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
Well be waiting for you in the sun
drinking white wine in the sun
Darling, when xmas comes
Well be waiting for you in the sun
drinking white wine in the sun
waiting for you in the sun
waiting for you
Waiting.
I, I really like Christmas
Its sentimental I know.
