Happy Christmas, all.

lyrics

I'm going home this week
I'll take a bus, or three
I'll wear long sleeves even though it's hot
and I'll drink all Dad's alcohol

I hate this time of year
But I'm quietly glad I'm here
And mum will see all my tattoos
And shake her head like I'm bad news.

But she still wants me around,
Still wants me around
It's christmas time, we've got our health
We put our differences aside.

This table grows every year
More kids and partners here
The only thing, I bring with me
Is my bad credit history

My sisters mad again
Grandma's been cruel again
But she'll be dead this time next year
So we pretend we didn't hear.

And they still want me around,
Still want me around
It's christmas time, we've got our health
We put our differences aside.

Merry Christmas everyone!
I couldn't find any wrapping paper
But I got you a copy of my new poetry book!
What's that? Well you've got two copies now!
No, don't touch the bloody dog, it's got a rash.
Yeah, disgusting animal
Anyway, this is my friend Sam,
His family's disowned him cause he's got emotional problems
So he's spending Christmas with us!
He's all good, just keep him away from the alcohol
Speaking of which! Where's the christmas tequila?
Look out! The dogs got into the trifle!

It's been a real hard year.

Will they still want me around?
Still want me around
It's christmas time, we've got our health
We put our differences aside.

It's been a real hard year.
