lyrics

Another childless Christmas,
don’t be sad
for the child you never had,
for the daughter or likely lad,
who would help you disappear and be glad.

(Do they) keep saying you’re not quite a woman?
(Do they) do they say you’re not fully a man?
Not til you’ve started to live for somebody,
somebody other than you understand?

Another childless Christmas on the way,
hear the candlelight carollers play.
Is this the best we can do by the way?
Caterwauling the evening away.

Still the picture is loving and pleasing,
and the number it does on your reasoning
Is welcome like oblivion is
welcome this season, it’s a very strange season.

Holy hell, now the talent show singer
breaks the chains on a Yule humdinger,
By the way that he buries the band you might think
he did sing of the blight in the land.

Another childless Christmas so have a cry,
tell them all you got dust in your eye,
when will you finish your ghost lullaby?
When will you learn not to sing it?

Where were you when they murdered the river?
(I was there)
Where were you when the bowl got turned over?
(I was there)
For the child that you never had
don’t be voided, don’t be sad.

Where will you be this time tomorrow,
(I’ll be gone)
when the world is a great bloody sorrow,
(All gone)
and every day is a fever, a fight,
and every Christmas is a childless Christmas?
