Name: Plastic Mistletoe
Duration: P00H03M29S
Description: the kid is excited and can’t sleep. Santa’s hungover and can’t get up. Gifts go round and are loved and despised. Table angels spin and ding, bring joy and annoy. Meanwhile Grandpa sleeps in his chair, radio and TV on full. The fake mistletoe hangs with quiet optimism and the chocolate melts down the back of the settee

about

the kid is excited and can’t sleep. Santa’s hungover and can’t get up. Gifts go round and are loved and despised. Table angels spin and ding, bring joy and annoy. Meanwhile Grandpa sleeps in his chair, radio and TV on full. The fake mistletoe hangs with quiet optimism and the chocolate melts down the back of the settee

lyrics

It’s Christmas eve
You’re staying up ‘till midnight The older one’s asleep
Her brother’s not tired
Dad was wrapping gifts throughout the night Cos Santa’s late
He snoozed the alarm
Got drunk with the elves again
And Rudolph’s party friends

Coffee machine that Nathan never needed It’s not the dress that Sally-Anne had wanted You said decorations come earlier each year But if that were true
By now they’d be going up in April or May
Or June or July

And underneath the plastic mistletoe Grandpa lies asleep his teeth hanging loose Selection box of all the fun sizes
Stuck behind the sofa
Cakes and soaps and candles with free shipping Table angels dizzy they just keep spinning Jesus soap will wash away your sins
A gift for him
Steak dinner Prosecco a football club stadium tour For Daddy and a friend

And just beneath the wreath she made at school A shadow wakes at 2
It’s creeping the hall
Selection box of all the fun sizes
Stuck behind the sofa
