lyrics

Boxing Day

I’ve been up for a very
Long time
Waiting on this day
Where do we ever find
The nerve to say
The things we say these days
So wrong – so wrong – so
wrong
In so many ways

We cut each other off
Without meaning to
It’s all we do these days
Don’t know what else to do –
what else to say
We’re all alone these days

Well it’s no secret
That we gather and we
strangle
In all the coats on the bed
No one can breathe
Each and every one of us
Seeking relief these days

Heard about that precious
baby born yesterday
Real live baby born here today
Got bills to pay
On his very first day
So
Set it out, set it out
Give it all away
It’s Boxing Day – it’s Boxing
Day
For Christ’s sake
It’s Boxing Day

Raise all the boats – always
Been that way
Trader and tradesman – that
Kid at play
Oh come on all ye faithful –
This has always been our way
This is our way

Heard about that precious
baby born yesterday
Real live baby born here today
Got bills to pay
On his very first day
So
Set it out, set it out
Give it all away
It’s Boxing Day – it’s Boxing
Day
For Christ’s sake
It’s Boxing Day
