lyrics
Snow falls
My mind swims as it hits the floor
You're dressed in red
And chubby
It's Christmas 1984
And I'm sleeping
At least I'm trying
And you're creeping about
Come the rain
Come the snow
Footstep is there on the stair
Hold me close
Never go
Footstep is there on the stair
This young prince
Hears outside his door the king
Leave your bag
I don't need a thing
Just talk to me
Rock me
Back to sleep
Come the rain
Come the snow
Footstep is there on the stair
Hold me close
Never go
Footstep is there on the stair
The king, laughing
Strokes his nylon beard once or twice
Removes the gravy-stained tea towels
Stuffed inside a father Christmas outfit
He bought in some tacky supermarket
And while the snow whispers at the windows
He smiles down at the little prince
His little prince
And the same words
Fall from their lips at the same time
I'm a sucker for 'indie' Christmas music and this quickly became one of my favourite albums of its kind. Every song's either genuinely jubilant, heartwarming, or both. Flint
