Here it is, the 4th annual Christmas song/video from The Heathen And The Holy, the seasonal side project of Tom Hobden and Fred Abbott from Noah And The Whale.
lyrics
Deck the house with holly,
Fill the shopping trolley,
Mistletoe: the list goes on and on and on!
Uncle Ted’s been at the
Gin, he thinks he’s Santa,
Ho-ho-ho what could go wrong?!
Well your bank account is empty
And January looms,
The only way to save the day
Is to crank your favourite tune…
It’s Christmas, yea it’s Christmas!
Remember how it feels?
Look around, you’re in it now,
Tell me it’s not real.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving,
It never lets you down,
For just one day your troubles fade,
When Christmas comes around!
This mulled wine is dreadful!
Tastes like warmed up Red Bull,
Good god man! What have you done?
Your Christmas tree’s lopsided,
And you’ve tried to hide it,
That’s not fooling anyone!
If your family drives you crazy,
And you’re hiding in your room:
Tell the kids to go to bed,
‘Cos Santa’s coming soon,
It’s Christmas, yea it’s Christmas!
Remember how it feels?
Look around, you’re in it now,
Tell me it’s not real.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving,
It never lets you down,
For just one day your troubles fade,
When Christmas comes around!
When Santa comes to town…
It’s Christmas, yea it’s Christmas!
Remember how it feels?
Look around, you’re in it now,
Tell me it’s not real.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving,
It never lets you down,
For just one day your troubles fade,
When Christmas comes around…
It’s Christmas, yea it’s Christmas!
Remember how it feels?
Look around, you’re in it now,
Tell me it’s not real,
It’s the gift that keeps on giving,
It never lets you down,
For just one day your troubles fade,
When Christmas comes around!
When Christmas comes around,
When Santa comes to town,
When Christmas comes around,
When Christmas comes around,
When Christmas comes to town…
