[Verse 1]
I sit here in my cold flat,
I got my long johns on and a woolly hat,
Trying to stay merry on some cheap wine,
And ignoring all the bills like they aint mine,
It's a winter wonderland on the rooftops,
Hope Santa brings me something from the good shops,
A 68 convertible, red dash,
And I can cruise around town like I got cash
The streets light up the skies tonight,
Like Rudolph when his little nose shines so bright,
Decorations everywhere, make you stop and stare,
But ten pounds a pop to skate around George Square!?
I aint made of money, but I grind daily,
And "Its a Wonderful Life", George Bailey,
I'll be walking round, spreading some cheer,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
[Hook ]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
[Verse 2]
I promised her a Christmas she wouldn't forget,
She went and wrote a wish list I had to get,
Told me where its at, where its from and the price,
I must have been way too jolly too nice... talking about
"Get me a dress and some shoes and a bag and coat with a matching scarf..."
I promised you a Christmas you wouldn't forget,
Not a Christmas that leaves me in more debt
[Hook ]
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Cause on December 25th
I'm gonna light a spliff
I'm gonna to get so high
I can chase Santa round the sky
Deck the halls with bells and holly,
It's the season to be jolly.
Naughty or nice, it don't matter much
As long as you pass that dutch
Goddamn brilliant, awesome take on such a Christmas-y classic. Nothing like a slightly melacholic Christmas tune..
