Lyrics
They said there'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'd be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell
And that Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
They told me a fairy story
Till I believed in the Israelites
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
And woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
We wish you a hopeful Christmas
We wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Alleluia Noel, be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve
