Christmas is coming
it's been a long year
i'm still in the same place
we're still over here
go down to the market
get lost in the crowd
go home to my records
I play them too loud
Christmas is coming
it's been a long year
I wish you were here...
Been down to the UI
and nothing but queues
Been down on my welfare
with holes in my shoes
the kitchen's still leaking
with floods on the floor
the landlord will fix it
he only wants more
Chrismas is coming it's been a long year
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
Christmas is coming
it's been a long year
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
Been down to the UI
and nothing but queues
been down outa welfare
with holes in my shoes
but i'm not complaining
i'm happy, you see?
And i'm still here waiting
so come and see me
Christmas is coming
it's been a long year
I wish you were here, I wish you were here,
I wish you were here, I wish you were, I wish you were, I wish you were here...
I wish you were here, I wish you were, I wish you were, I wish you were here...
