The Needles

Lyrics

Oh sometimes it's a happy Sometimes it's happy sad As the old year hits the slipway Was it all so bad Oh but when you're all together You're still all alone Is it the present you can't get out of Or the future you can't postpone Heretics who once slept on your floor Are singing carols at your door And they're putting up the Christmas tree They're taking down the Christmas tree The needles never stick to me It all goes by so quickly And I'm so glad you came to me And saved me from stupidity Every day is Christmas Day Ever since you came my way You and your child kill me You and your child don't give up You and your child kill me You and our child we won't give up Paper snowflakes stuck to windows Of the school you used to go to And my heartache's in the shadows Like the fool who didn't tell you That I loved you like a snowstorm Like walking barefoot through a fire You're the dream I always steal from My definitive desire We're pioneers and mutineers Or whatever you hold dear And we're putting up the Christmas tree We're taking down the Christmas tree The needles never stick to me It all goes by so quickly And I'm so glad you came to me And saved me from stupidity Every day is Christmas Day Ever since you came my way You and your child kill me You and your child don't give up You and your child kill me You and our child Merry Christmas, Mom Merry Christmas, Pop We all still love you Some things time can't stop I'm a dad now too This year she'll be five Happy New Year It's still good to be alive Putting up the Christmas tree And taking down the Christmas tree The needles never stick to me It all goes by so quickly And I'm so glad you came to me And saved me from stupidity Every day is Christmas Day Ever since you came my way You and your child kill me You and your child don't give up You and your child kill me You and our child we won't give up
