Los Campesinos! - When Christmas Comes lyrics

When Christmas Comes When I go home I will walk via tinseltown, down LED avenues, jingle bells all around Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky, and they hang them from rafters up on high I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times, audition for a** end of horse in village pantomime. Just to hear your voice calling from the back “it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that Christmas Eve, torrential rain One single snowflake on this plain I held you in gloved hands and I’m not letting go New Year to November It’s looming near, it lingers close Into December, when Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full, joined the choir, took myself door to door making small change with all the carollers every mention of His name changed to yours A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree, left unattended ’til second week of February. In the morning, you’re lying next to me Covered in gold, stole from nativity Can you hear it? Let the bells chime! Lift your gla**es high for the Boy Child!
