about

My Buzzcocks snarky Christmas anthem. A great pop song that serves as a painful reminder that I need to find some damn vocalists.

lyrics

On a cold Christmas night
A family uses broken lights
To decorate a plastic tree
And masquerade their misery

They said Santa Claus is coming to town
But no one has seen him around
It's a holly jolly depression
A silent night for hungry hearts

There's a fire in a garbage can
But no chestnuts or marshmallows
No Christmas ghosts or carolers
Just putrid smoke from the sewers

No snowman’s coming to life
No silver bells in the city tonight
No rocking around the Christmas tree
Little St Nick just passed us by

The children come home before it's dark
No reason to sleep before midnight
They can see 4 gifts under the tree
And dollar store charms in stockings

They're looking for a nose so bright
A miracle on a holy night
Someone shouts ba rump a bum bum
But no one can hear their drum

Solo

Will all your joy and good will
Pay the gas and electric bill?
Work and work and work some more
No more layaway at my store

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We think we’ll miss this one
But there’ll be no Happy New Year
So in excelsis deo

The children come home before it's dark
No reason to sleep before midnight
They can see 4 gifts under the tree
And dollar store charms in stockings

They're looking for a nose so bright
A miracle on a holy night
Someone shouts ba rump a bum bum
But no one can hear their drum

On a cold Christmas night
A family uses broken lights
To decorate a plastic tree
And masquerade their misery

They said Santa Claus is coming to town
But no one has seen him around
It's a holly jolly depression
A silent night for hungry hearts
