Peace on Earth
Another from the tinsled Cellar last night……I hasen to add this not my family at Christmas time……………..
PEACE ON EARTH(Lyrics)
Its Christmas day on a sunny day the snow has gone away
Nobody know what today will bring
they sing the holly and the ivy on the TV
Everybody knows something
but not a word is said
everybody knows that secret their keeping in there head
it’s lunch it’s christmas time the turkeys been cut
the arguments and the silent stares everybody eats on up
Dad can’t keep quiet now
the turkey flys again
the day goes on forever this is christmas day
Mum and Dad are argueing their shouting out their lungs
the drink has started again
everything is going wrong
everything is going wrong
Don’t they know it’s christmas everybody peace on earth
Don’t they know it’s Christmas time when there should be peace on earth
Dad’s got the carving knife at mums throat, she screams at the top of her lungs
My sisters in the corner crying her eyes out,
oh what has he done
What has he done
It’s Christmas time in our family home
Dads come back from the pub again full of famous Grouse
Starts to shout at mother again
It’s Christmas time
It’s christmas time in the Drunks house once again once again
Don’t they know it’s christmas time it should be peace on earth
Don’t they know it’s christmas time when there’s peace on earth
Oh I see, this is the same one with vox. A sorry tale but ..... Very well done Reg.
Very clever...harrowing lyrics against a beautiful Christmassy backdrop...thought-provoking.
