You’ve not seen your family for time Within days you’re desperate to leave Any sad news makes your mother cry And your dad wears his heart on his sleeve You feel that you’re needed at home But you lead a new life in the smoke If you came back you’d hate it all over again And you cry cause your mother can’t cope You’re drinking from quarter to nine In a convincingly seasonal style You’re hoping they’re blind to the fact You’ve been practicing for a while Fresh plastic litters the floor From the toys they’ll forget in a week That ends up as fresh CO2 If they don’t make it onto the heap We’re six people eating for ten And some things on our plates were alive More plastic and bad jokes spew out from a tube But the real joke’s the world outside It feels good to overindulge Til you remember there’s folks in the cold And the innocent faces with less than their friends And the pensioners dying alone It never snows on Christmas These days just ain't that cold It’s the annual reminder That everyone you love is getting old
