Living In The Past |
|
Christmas Song |
|
Once in Royal David's City stood a lonely cattle shed, |
|
where a mother held her baby. |
|
You'd do well to remember the things He later said. |
|
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties, |
|
you'll just laugh when I tell you to take a running jump. |
|
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making |
|
that Christmas spirit is not what you drink. |
|
So how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry, |
|
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong? |
|
And if I just messed up your thoughtless pleasures, |
|
remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song. |
|
(Hey! Santa! Pass us that bottle, will you?) |
