So long, trying to do my best for so long
Living in a world that I don't recognise
What a time to be alive
Outside, the nights are getting colder
Outside, trying to find someone to hold you
Out there in the snow
As the city starts to glow
I apologise for getting sentimental
I'm only trying to be sincere
I guess there's nothing much left to say
Merry Christmas what a hell of a year
Merry Christmas what a hell of a year
Our time, we're so terrified of wasting our time
But I'm thankful for the chance to waste mine
It's a gift
Nothing else there, on my list
So hold on, something's got to change
And I hear, something kind of strange
Sleigh bells, in the air
Magic, everywhere
And I apologise for getting sentimental
I'm only trying to be sincere
I guess there's nothing much left to say
Merry Christmas what a hell of a year
Merry Christmas what a hell of a year
Stranger things have happened now
I wouldn't rule a reindeer out
So long, trying to do my best for so long
Living in a world that I don't recognise
What a time to be alive

Can you feel it, in the air?
Choirs singing, everhwhere
Could it be Christmastime?
All the lights begin to shine
All the presents, all the wine
Could it be Christmastime?
Some people celebrate, some people don't
And that's okay, each to their own
I think this year I've got something to say
I just hope everybody is okay
All the trees in the windows
Wearing boots and your big coat
Oh could it be Christmastime?
Call your family, call your friends
It's been a bad year, soon to end
Oh could it be Christmastime
Some people want to talk, some people don't
Some people just want to be on their own
This year's no pressure, just do what you feel
If you want to do nothing, it's no big deal
A little more kindness, a little more joy
A little too much sugar for each girl & boy
Oh could it be Christmastime
I'm not sure I believe in a god up above
So why is my heart, so filled with love?
Oh could it be Christmastime

A Manger Incident
00:51
|

What if nobody ever found Jesus?
What if there was no star in the sky?
What if Mary told Joseph her secret?
And Joseph went out of his mind?
What if Gabriel just couldn't make it?
And God couldn't handle the guilt?
What if the three wise men were three wise women?
Imagine what we could've built

It didn't happen in a flash of pain
Nobody drowning in the driving rain
In the end it was so beautiful and slow
Everybody dancing in the snow
I watched the chaos as it slowly unfurled
Christmas at the end of the world
Everyone smiling every boy every girl
Christmas at the end of the world
Christmas at the end of the world
Nothing mattered and nobody cried
Peace and goodwill to all mankind
No possessions and no jealousy
Only joy and possibility
Everyone scattered like a string of pearls
Christmas at the end of the world
Singing carols as the madness swirls
Christmas at the end of the world
Christmas at the end of the world
Christmas at the end of the world

The Story of Rudolph

The story of Rudolph, well known I suppose
But his friends only liked him because of his nose
Well I'm here to tell you, wherever you are
You don't need something special, to set you apart
They all should have loved him, in spite of his flaws
They all could have done better, even Mrs Claus
We all have a light, that's shining inside
You can't always see it, but that's alright

Santa's Out of Business
01:47
|
|||
Santa Claus, you had a good run
Santa Claus, nothing you could've done
We're downsizing, digitizing
The elves are even unionizing
Santa Claus, went out of business today
Santa Claus, times are changing
Santa Claus, we're re-arranging
Your service is appreciated
But these times are unprecedented
Santa Claus, went out of business today
Suspended on full pay, you can even keep the sleigh
Just sign this NDA
Santa Claus, we really hope that
Santa Claus, you really know that
We just want what is best for the kids
Wooden toys are bad for business
Santa Claus, get on your merry way
Ho, ho, ho, oh yay
Ho, ho, ho, oh yay
Ho, ho, ho, oh yay

Early Christmas Morning
01:21
|
|||
Baby, things will get better I know
As the morning sun melts the snow
I can feel it right in my bones
Maybe, love is really all we need
And I'm thankful that you're loving me
You're the tide and I am the sea
I'm not saying that I've figured it out
But I feel a little lighter somehow
On this early Christmas morning now
On this early Christmas morning now
On this early Christmas morning now
On this early Christmas morning now

Snow on the Leaves
02:15
|

Noel, noel, go ring the bell
I see snow on the leaves
Children rejoice, raise up your voice
I see snow on the leaves
Lining the streets of our town
Angels lay in the park
Every road you walk down
Glistening in the dark
Noel, noel, go ring the bell
I see snow on the leaves
Silent it falls, no sound at all
I see snow on the leaves
Awaken into a new day
Nose pressed up to the glass
A joy you can barely contain
You pray it won't leave too fast
Snow on the leaves
Snow on the leaves
Snow on the leaves
Snow on the leaves
