Lyrics: It’s late December And I am quite depressed (Put the tree up but can I skip the rest?) Carols are being drowned out by the neighbours’ shit (Ho ho ho) (Really tried but I’m just not feeling it) Nothing is magical It’s a massive lie (Reasons for the season are running dry) People are miserable and yet still they buy (As if Christmas could be quantified) And all the gifts are too expensive And there is really no incentive to buy Anything All around me All around me Those Christmas trees But I feel like I’m their branches in January All the trimmings All the singing Hey, can you not? But the register keeps ringing in the shops Sleigh bells are grating And so are children’s choirs (Shut up, please) (And the volumes seem like they’re getting higher) You can shove them up your pa rum pum pum pum (Father Christmas too, he can just do one) And all the gifts are too expensive And relatives are argumentative If they’re still around (But quite a few are dead!) All around me All around me Those Christmas trees But I feel like I’m their branches in January All the trimmings All the singing Hey, can you not? But the register keeps ringing in the shops Consumerism Forced tradition Yes it is and no it isn’t Can you hear what I hear now? Well that’s because you never listen Buy everybody tat Don’t touch the thermostat! Do I have to interact with Any of this festive crap? Joyeux noel? See you in hell… And all the gifts are too expensive And none of them are quite inventive enough (Overly sentimental) For anyone you love All around me All around me Those Christmas trees But I feel like I’m their branches in January Decorated, understated, over the top Until their needles drop…and then it finally stops.
