They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin bird
And I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
and that Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story,
till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas,
and I looked to the sky with ex cited eyes
in the first light of dawn,
and I saw him through his disguise
I wish you a wonderful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
They said there'll be snow for Christmas
Hallelujah, Noel, in heaven or hell
The Christmas weekend we deserve
