Bah Hum.. No thats too strong!
   Cause it's my favorite holiday
   But all this years been a busy blur
   Don't think i have the energy
   to add to my already mad rush
   just because it is the season
   the perfect gift for me would be
   completions and connections left from last year
   world tour, aeroplanes and babies.
   Met some guys but never the time
   most of 98 was along those lines.

   so deck the halls and trim those trees
   raise up the cups of christmas cheer
   i just need to catch my breath
   Christmas with my mates this year

   Calendar picture
   Frozen landscape
   chill this room for twentyfour days
   evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
   flash back to spring time,
   sunny again
   would have been good to go for lunch
   couldn't agree when we were both free
   we tried, we said we'd keep in touch,
   we didn't of course till the summer time,
   out to the beach to his boat could have joined him
   no this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
   now the calendars just one page
   and of course i am excited
   tonights the night but i've set my mind
   not to do too much about it.

   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year

   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year

   Hardly dashing through the snow
   cause i bundled up too tight
   last minutes have-to-dos
   a few cards, a few calls
   because it's R S V P
   no thanks, no party lads
   it's christmas eve, gonna relax
   turn down all of my invites
   last fall i had a night to myself
   some guy called halloween party
   waited all night for him to show
   this time his car wouldn't go
   forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
   trudge on home to celebrate
   in a quite way i unwind,
   doing christmas right this time

   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year

   Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
   all ready in the oven, nice and hot
   oh damn, guess what i forgot
   so it's on with the boots back out in the snow
   to the army all night garage but when to my wondering eyes should appear
   in the line that guy i've been chasing all year
   spending this one alone he said
   give me a break this years been crazy
   i said me too, but why are you...
   you mean you forgot the papers too
   then suddenly we laughed and laughed
   caught on to what was happening
   Christmas magic's brought this down to a very happy en-ending.

   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year

   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
   Merry Christmas Merry Christmas
   But I think i'll miss this one this year
