Christmas Time (Don't Let the Bells End) [Live at Wembley, 2004]

Feigning joy and surprise at the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you
On the 25th day of the 12th month
The sleigh bells are in time ringing true

How we cling each noel to that snowflake's hope in hell
That it won't end

Don't let the bells end
Christmastime
Just let them ring in peace

Well, the weather is cruel
And the season of yule warms the heart
But it still hurts
You've got your career
Spend the best part of last year apart
How it hurts

So, that's why I pray, each and every Christmas day
That it won't end

Don't let the bells end
Christmastime
Just let them ring in peace

Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
And you're not here
You went away, upon Boxing Day
Now, how the hell am I gonna make it into the new year?

Christmastime
Don't let the bells end
Christmastime
Just let them ring in peace
Come on, kids, farewell, whoa-oh-oh-oh

I'll see you next year
