David Ford - Have Yourself a Bitter Little Christmas

Key of
------------------------------
VERSE 1:
The kids are making snowmen out of mud
It makes me think about us
Does that mean something?
I think it does
But let s not talk about it
Conversation only makes us weak
Consequently we don t speak
Not with conviction nor belief
I know my head, I know my feet
And now they re pointing out the door
CHORUS:
And so I m leaving you on Christmas day
() ()
Forgive my timing but I simply have a mind to run away
And I don t care what all the people say
I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here
VERSE 2:
Decorations sit and gather dust
It makes me think about us
Does that mean something?
Yeah, I think it does
But let s not talk about it
Boxes of the shiny and the cheap
With nothing permanent to keep
Sit in high spirits for a month
And when the sherry s all been drunk
There s nothing much that keeps me here
Oh my dear
CHORUS:
I m leaving you on Christmas day
() ()
In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway
And I don t care what all the people say
Cos I say peace and goodwill starts with getting the hell out of here, alive
VERSE 3:
The house is cold, the boiler s packing up
It makes me think about us
Does that mean something?
Yes, well I think it does
But let s not dwell upon that
They say outside it s minus 8 degrees
I swear it ain t as cold as me
I know there is no winter breeze
To make your heart begin to freeze
I know it happened years ago
CHORUS:
And so, I m leaving you on Christmas day
() ()
In truth, I think we never really liked each other anyway
And I don t care what all the people say
()
Cos I say have yourself a bitter little Christmas and a twisted New Year
