It’s the brand new 2014 *no expense spared song from Invocal for Christmas 2014!
(*a considerable amount of expense has been spared in the making of this track)
lyrics
It’s the time of the year when the darkness is here it’s a magical thing
And the silence is full of a sparkle that seems to stop time
And excitement in mind and a will to be kind
Where peace and love begin
And we’re all about family and friendship and drinking good wine
I see children they run round the shops and their gardens in their winter gear
They should never forget in their lives just how happy they can be
So I walk down the road to my family home full of seasonal dreams
And I open the door and they greet me by saying to me
It’s the time of year when insipid celebrities cover the Pogues
It’s the time of year when we think of the homeless briefly
It’s the time of year where songs begin with the words “it’s the time of year”
It’s the time of the year when people shout to me
“You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas
You’ve ruined Christmas for everyone again”
(thanks a lot, you’ve ruined Christmas for everyone – including, like, orphans – and they were really looking forward to it!)
It’s the time of the year when magic is real and we all hope for peace
It’s the time of the year when baby Jesus died on the cross…no wait that’s wrong
It’s the time of year when people share their beliefs such as…how living in a multicultural society is in some way threatening the existence of Christmas because, yeh! they’ve BANNED Christmas again this year! like the do EVERY year! the leftist agenda’d PC brigade have banned Christmas because they’re scared of upsetting the badgers! I literally haven’t seen any evidence of Christmas ANYWHERE this year other than a small article in the Daily Mail reporting that santas workshop ha been blown up by terrorists and all of the elves are on their way here to claim out benefits, the spritely Laplandic SCUM!…
“This is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking…”
It’s the time of year when I like to wear reindeer socks
A baby born in a manger
I like when people give me stuff
Cos Christmas is all about loving
And I love when people give me stuff
And Jesus will be angry
If you buy me something cheap
And one thing that makes Him furious
Is smug people
Who buy ethical gifts…
