xmas.

There are no silent holy nights  
the songs of xmas ring out false,  
just rattling tills at shopping sites  
there are no silent, holy nights.  
Traffic noise reaches dreadful heights  
from shopping site to shopping mall,  
there are no silent holy nights  
the songs of xmas, ring out false.  
   
The Minster choir sings xmas hymns  
ringing this dead stone hollow hall,  
raising voices in praise of him  
the Minster choir sings xmas hymns.  
The congregation moved to sing  
but I utter sweet bugger all,  
the Minster choir sings xmas hymns  
ringing this dead stone hollow hall.  
   
When my parents were above ground  
magic bells rang in Christmas nights,  
Carol singer's sang joyful sounds  
when my parents were above ground.  
Untill that silent night crashed down  
and crushed the fairies and their lights,  
when my parents were still around  
magic bells rang in Christmas nights.
