lyrics

Xmas by the bins

If you’ve finished your drink
You can meet me outside
I know that its cold
And I know that you’re tired
But if you stick with me
Then I’ll find you a treat
A feast for a king
Right here in the street

We’ll travel around
and seek out the best
from town square to High Street
and all of the rest
'Cos all of those people
In restaurants and such
Never eat all they have
They order too much
I’ll prepare you a meal
And forgive all your sins
We’ll be eating for England
And have Xmas by the bins

Its only once a year
Xmas by the bins

We might find some cider
or a splash of mulled wine
And I know its not whiskey
but I’m sure we’ll be fine
We won’t get a turkey
or blankets for pigs
but there might be some pudding
or holly in sprigs
Then we’ll light up a fire
and watch the flames dance
As the snow falls around us
we’ll be high on romance
So gather around
and sing us a song
We’ll keep ourselves warm
Because together we are strong

Chorus

And if we cant find it here
we’ll move across town
There are quality places
that wont let us down
like the back of the precinct
where there be mince pies
And where one person’s waste
is another one’s prize
we can make up a banquet
and devour it with thanks
and if all else fails . . .
There’s always food banks

Now you know it’s a joke
And that given a choice
We’d all rather spend Xmas
Where its warm and its nice
And that given the chance
We’d be in our own home
With some family, some friends
And just not alone
So it can’t be beyond us
To share out some wealth
From the business of money
To the business of health
And to see all the children
In beds of their own
The lost and the lonely
Who don’t have a home
So you governments and leaders
You Priests, kings and queens
Mankind is our business
So lets all take heed
But this kind of thinking
Must come from the top
And let’s face it . . . if Jesus was real . . .
then wouldn’t this just STOP?

Oh if only once a year
this Xmas by the bins
