I'm looking forward to Christmas
It's sentimental I know
But I just really like it
I am hardly religious
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu
To be honest
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
The commercialisation of an ancient religion
To the westernisation of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer
But I still really like it
I really like Christmas
Though I'm not expecting
A visit from Jesus
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I don't go for ancient wisdom
I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious
It means that they're worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords
But the lyrics are spooky
And yes I have all of the usual objections to the miseducation
Of children who in tax-exempt institutions are taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right or wrong
But I quite like the songs
I'm not expecting big presents
Ye olde combination of socks, jocks and chocolates
Is just fine by me
'Cause I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
And you my baby girl
My jetlagged infant daughter
You'll be handed round the room
Like a puppy at a primary school
And you won't understand
But you will learn one day
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people
Who'll make you feel safe in the world
My sweet blue-eyed girl
And if, my baby girl,
When you're twenty one or thirty one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself 9000 miles from home
You'll know whatever comes
Your brothers and sisters and me and your mum.
Will be waiting for you in the sun
Whenever you come
Your brothers and sisters
Your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins
And me and your mum.
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
Waiting for you in the sun
Drinking white wine in the sun
Darlin' when Christmas comes
Well'll waiting for you in the sun
Drinking white wine in the sun
Well'll waiting for you in the sun
Waiting for you
Waiting
I really like Christmas
It's sentimental I know
