Cynical Christmas Song Lyrics

It's Christmas soon, I have to go away

But there's no trains back 'til after Boxing Day

I can't believe that we won't be together this year

I can't talk to you about how it feels

You can't understand my subtle reveals

We really need to start communicating next year

To help I got this song as your Christmas gift

It was the cheapest I could get, I've resorted to thrift

'Cause you cost me quite enough of my money this year

I have to look after you, I have to sort all your shit, make your meals, brush your hair

Sometimes I think I've had enough of it

To see me through to the end of next year

But that doesn't change how I feel for you

We were meant to be together, an immutable truth

From the moment that I said that I would take care of you all this year

This song is the pinnacle of cynical devices

That are present in the best Christmas tunes

Emotive chord-progression and a syncopated drone

To get these feelings across to you

Eight-part harmonies

String-section bassline, descending

Lyrics that could equally apply to anyone

All to get these feelings across to you

And I know that Gary Barlow would be proud

Of a middle-8 that sounded loud

Full of emotion and of things avowed.

And I know One Direction would recommend

Because this song has a sleigh-bell end

This song is the pinnacle of cynical devices

That are present in the best Christmas tunes

Emotive chord-progression and a syncopated drone

To get these feelings across to you

Eight-part harmonies

String-section bassline, descending

Lyrics that could equally apply to anyone

All to get these feelings across to you

All to get these feelings across to you
