In Excelsis Deo |
Well I can’t wait for Christmas |
Been buckle-knee'd and listless |
And you say that you’ve been wishing weeks away |
They hung the lights out in the street |
Twisted round the boughs of the trees |
The choir sung its holiest refrains |
Like Gloria |
Hosanna in the highest |
Heaven knows |
This year’s been black and blue |
But we’re alright |
And this Christmas could be white for me and you |
I still can’t sleep on Christmas Eve |
And we’ll never miss a beat |
Scarlet-faced from whiskey neat in the cold |
Singing dancing in the dark |
Oh I hope these words will do |
I’ve had my doubts but not about you |
I’m drunk and hearing voices in car parks |
And this year oh I’ve got love in me I swear I hope you know |
Gloria In Excelsis Deo |
If I should fall from grace |
If I should leave this Dear Green Place |
And if Christmas fades without a trace |
I still want you around |
There’s magic in this grey old town you know |
You should share in the refrain |
If you think you know the songs |
Who cares if all the words are wrong |
Who cares if it barely ever snows |
But still the choir smiles |
The carol of the bell echoes |
