Christmas in Suburbia by Martin Newell
(from The Greatest Living Englishman)
Going home for Christmas in suburbia
Where the sodium lights are golden in the rain
On the plastic and the chrome of the people going home
They will jingle jangle by electric candlelight
Christmas time
I'll celebrate a shoestring saturnalia
With a cracker or two and some cheap old sherry wine
(sherry wine about a quid or two)
We'll have tofu (???)
You can let the turkey go
I'm not killing over Christmas in suburbia any time
Party round at my place after closing time
You can bring your own there's none at home
I drank it all
You might have known!
All the stars are shining in suburbia
As you wake up in a room that's not your own
There's an angel in your bed, and you wonder what you said
Then you realise its Christmas in suburbia
Christmas time
There's an angel in your bed, and you wonder what you said
Then you realise its Christmas
You realise its Christmas
You realise its Christmas in suburbia
Christmas time
Merry Christmas darling...
