[00:01.39]I really like
[00:05.99]Christmas
[00:08.78]It's sentimental
[00:10.89]I know but
[00:12.62]I just really like it
[00:17.72]I am hardly religious
[00:24.86]I'd rather break bread with
[00:26.88]Dawkins than
[00:27.98]Desmond Tutu to be honest
[00:33.20]And yes I have all of the usual objections
[00:37.42]To consumerism the commercialisation of an ancient religion
[00:43.56]To the westernisation of a dead
[00:46.36]Palestinian
[00:47.83]Press-ganged into selling
[00:49.95]Playstations and beer
[00:54.24]But I still really like it
[01:00.06]I'm looking forward to
[01:04.79]Christmas
[01:07.11]Though I'm not expecting a visit from
[01:12.99]Jesus I'll be seeing my dad
[01:20.80]My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
[01:26.27]They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
[01:31.30]I'll be seeing my dad
[01:34.86]My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
[01:40.35]They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
[01:47.51]I don't go in for ancient wisdom
[01:54.86]I don't believe just 'cos ideas are tenacious it means they are worthy
[02:03.67]I get freaked out by churches
[02:11.00]Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are spooky
[02:19.95]And yes I have all of the usual objections
[02:25.14]To the miseducation of children who in tax-exempt institutions
[02:30.54]Are taught to externalise blame
[02:32.26]And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong
[02:41.92]But I quite like the songs
[02:47.65]I'm not expecting big presents
[02:55.05]The old combination of socks jocks and chocolate is just fine by me
[03:03.08]Cos I'll be seeing my dad
[03:08.88]My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
[03:14.38]They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
[03:19.48]I'll be seeing my dad
[03:23.08]My brother and sisters my gran and my mum
[03:28.73]They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
[03:35.57]And you my baby girl
[03:40.62]My jetlagged infant daughter
[03:43.78]You'll be handed round the room
[03:47.98]Like a puppy at a primary school
[03:52.59]And you won't understand
[03:56.67]But you will learn someday
[04:00.54]That wherever you are and whatever you face
[04:05.40]These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
[04:12.68]My sweet blue-eyed girl
[04:18.27]And if my baby girl
[04:22.36]When you're twenty-one or thirty-one
[04:26.69]And Christmas comes around
[04:30.67]And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
[04:35.76]You'll know what ever comes
[04:44.00]Your brother and sisters and me and your
[04:48.47]Mum Will be waiting for you in the sun
[04:55.79]Whenever you come
[05:01.23]Your brothers and sisters your aunts and your uncles
[05:05.63]Your grandparents cousins and me and your mum
[05:10.82]We'll be waiting for you in the sun
[05:15.72]Drinking white wine in the sun
[05:20.29]Darling when
[05:21.64]Christmas comes
[05:24.40]We'll be waiting for you in the sun
[05:29.48]Drinking white wine in the sun
[05:33.81]Waiting for you in the sun
[05:38.92]Waiting for you
[05:41.47]Waiting
[05:47.54]I really like
[05:55.03]Christmas
[06:09.96]It's sentimental
[06:13.00]I know
