White Wine In The Sun |
| I really like Christmas |
| It’s sentimental, I know |
| But I just really like it |
| I am hardly religious |
| I’d rather break bread with Dawkins |
| Than Desmond Tutu, to be honest |
| And yes, I have all of the usual objections |
| To consumerism |
| To the commercialisation of an ancient religion |
| To the westernisation of a dead Palestinian |
| Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer |
| But I still really like it |
| I’m looking forward to Christmas |
| Though I’m not expecting |
| A visit from Jesus |
| I’ll be seeing my dad |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum |
| They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun |
| I’ll be seeing my dad |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum |
| They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun |
| I don’t go in for ancient wisdom |
| I don’t believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious |
| It means they’re worthy |
| I get freaked out by churches |
| Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords |
| But the lyrics are dodgy |
| And yes, I have all of the usual objections |
| To the miseducation |
| Of children who, in tax-exempt institutions |
| Are taught to externalise blame |
| And to feel ashamed |
| And to judge things as plain right and wrong |
| But I quite like the songs |
| I’m not expecting big presents |
| The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolates |
| Is just fine by me |
| Cause I’ll be seeing my dad |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum |
| They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun |
| I’ll be seeing my dad |
| My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum |
| They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun |
| And you, my baby girl |
| My jetlagged infant daughter |
| You’ll be handed round the room |
| Like a puppy at a primary school |
| And you won’t understand |
| But you will learn someday |
| That wherever you are and whatever you face |
| These are the people who’ll make you feel safe |
| In this world |
| My sweet blue-eyed girl |
| And if my baby girl |
| When you’re twenty-one or thirty-one |
| And Christmas comes around |
| And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home |
| You’ll know what ever comes |
| Your brothers and sisters and me and your mum |
| Will be waiting for you in the sun |
| Whenever you come |
| Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles |
| Your grandparents, cousins and me and your mum |
| We’ll be waiting for you in the sun |
| Drinking white wine in the sun |
| Darling, when Christmas comes |
| We’ll be waiting for you in the sun |
| Drinking white wine in the sun |
| Waiting for you in the sun |
| Waiting for you |
| Waiting |
| I really like Christmas |
| It’s sentimental, I know |
