The Fratellis - Lonesome Anti-Christmas Blues + Lyrics

A radio rip of the new B-side "Lonesome Anti-Christmas Blues" by The Fratellis off of the new single A Heady Tale. The single is due for release December 22nd. Can't wait! Mon the Fratellis!

Lyrics:
No one at my window
Ghosts around my door
What's with all these singers
Who's this moonlight for

Nothing's gonna change her
Bring her back again
'Tis the season to be lonely
Why does everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?

Bells wont ring, believe me
Drink wont get me through
All the girls wont thrill me
If I can't have you.
Is there a reason, tell me only
Why has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?
Has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?

Shut off the streetlights you shakers and movers
This place is filled with a hundred bad losers
I think I blew it, you think I'd remember
Sometime round about last night
I lost her

Tell me why has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?
Has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?
Tell me why has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?
Has everybody got someone but me on this Christmas day?

great song, can't wait to get my Heady Tale single in the mail... just a question though, is the fuzziness just because it's off the radio, or is that part of the song?

[baseballrocks2240]

It's probably because it's a low quality recording. It is probably a little bit fuzzy because of the actual song but the studio version won't be as fuzzy.

[avidartmind]

oh, i know, but what i meant was- why can't they realease this instead of a heady tale, what with it being christmas and all, but i know they can't because it is just a b side :/

[baseballrocks2240]

Oh, I gotcha. If only they could release this and A Heady Tale as separate singles and each of them would have 3 new b-sides. But that will never happen.

[baseballrocks2240]

Well, you got what you wished for! It's released as a limited edition single, only 1000 made and signed by the band. I bought 2 last night at around midnight.

[avidartmind]

this is really really really really really good!

why can't they release this?!?!?!?!?!?

[baseballrocks2240]

It's being released as a b-side on their single on December 22nd.

Destructively powerful depressing song but strangely uplifting.

One of my Fratellis favourites ... saying that, there isn't a song I don't like. How come they don't get more acknowledgement.

They're much better than the media make out. new marketing director anyone? Look Out Sunshine! completely flopped for no reason, Heady Tale was played about twice on radio. I would rather listen to this all day on Christmas than Lady feckin' GaGa.

[emmarc233]

The pogues has just been scrubbed as my all time favourite christmas song. Does this band ever release a bad song. They Remind me of early oasis, when even their b sides kicked the shit out of other bands a sides. Merry Xmas!!!

[BexyLovesQueen]

I love this! <3

[nbgwho]

Says how I feel. Another great song by this fab band!

[pacific14586]

Anybody have this in lossless?

[dackattac]

Aww. Well, as long as we get the one, I'll still likely be a happy camper.

[bvhishott]

Love it! Although this song describes me too well. :(

[daveCUFC]

Wouldn't we all love that?! But unfotunately, on Soccer AM, John said "never listen to anything I say (!)" and kind of dismissed that idea...gutted.

[dackattac]

Haha, John wasn't kidding, this is one depressing fucker of a Christmas tune. XD Great song, though; can't wait to see if they deliver on their promise for two new albums next year.
