Los Campesinos!
When Christmas Comes (Boxing Day Version)
[Verse 1: Gareth & Kim]
When I go home I will walk via Tinseltown
Down LED avenues, "Jingle Bells" all around
Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky
And they hang them from rafters up on high

[Verse 2: Gareth & Kim]
I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times
Audition for ass-end of horse in village pantomime
Just to hear your voice calling from the back
"It's behind you!" Oh yeah, thank God for that

[Pre-Chorus: Gareth]
Christmas Eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
And I’m not letting go
I'm not letting go

[Chorus: Los Campesinos!]
New Year to November
It’s looming nеar, it lingers close
Into Decеmber
When Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes
New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December
When Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes
[Verse 3: Gareth & Kim]
Saved hard all winter to ensure your stocking’s full
Joined the choir, took myself door to door
Making small change with all the carollers
Every mention of His name changed to yours

[Verse 4: Gareth & Kim]
A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree
Left unattended ’til second week of February
In the morning, you’re lying next to me
Covered in gold, stole from nativity

[Pre-Chorus: Gareth]
Christmas Eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
And I’m not letting go
I'm not letting go

[Chorus: Gareth, Los Campesinos!]
New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December
When Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes
New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December
When Christmas comes, when Christmas
[Outro: Los Campesinos!, Gareth]
Can you hear it? (New Year to November)
Let the bells chime
Lift your glasses high (It’s looming near)
For the boy child (It lingers close)
Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime (Into December)
Lift your glasses high (When Christmas comes)
For the boy child (What’s lurking goes)
Can you hear it? (New Year to November)
Lift your glasses high (It’s looming near)
For the boy child (It lingers close)
Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime (Into December)
Lift your glasses high
For the boy child (When Christmas comes)
When Christmas comes
