about

Wag: Our Christmas song, observing how traditions have changed and it's all now about capitalism. Cliff Richard should be ashamed of himself for writing the words to that awful song. We were lucky enough to get the blessing of the original composers to see the proceeds made from the iTunes download go to a charitable cause. Shame it never made the charts. This is the full un-edited version, we had to make so many changes to get it played on the radio, and a charity in our home town refused to benefit from the song as it was deemed too political, I always thought that was a bold statement from a charity food bank in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

lyrics

A time to drink, time for excess,
a time to think, my life’s a mess,
the lights are out on our Christmas tree,
for fear of offending non christian belief.

Last minute shop, don’t panic buy,
time has run out, to order on-line,
the town is empty ’til boxing day,
a half price sale, can’t give it away.

Christmas time, organised crime,
wasting your cash on shit past its prime,
It starts late September and goes on and on,
So let’s all wake up, and admit it’s a con.

Old folk freeze, home all alone,
might raise a smile, if someone would phone,
God bless Cameron and his Tory elite,
don’t choke on your turkey or after 8 treat.

A time to give, who has to pay?
no Christmas bonus, with my JSA,
won’t get any joy from breaking the law,
so I’m doing fuck all for two weeks or more.

Christmas time, organised crime,
stuff your turkey where the sun don't shine,
It starts late September and goes on and on,
So let’s all wake up, and admit it’s a con.
