Hello Berlin

Rory pissed
Ben sober
Booked it so you'll be together
Off to Berlin
Off to Berlin
You Go
Martha made a promise to go
Jools knew he couldn't say no
Uh oh Berlin
They're going to eat your sausages!
Any excuse to leave this place
To feel the race of your pulse again
Off to Berlin
Off to Berlin you go
Like fish behind a window
Lit from below
Static in the water
Staring blankly to the corner
On Ben's birthday you took a train
The German's took all your money away
Fuck you Berlin!
Damn, you must have looked like tourists!
I hear it's a nice time of year
No it is not! No it is not!
Cos it's January
And it's freezing
And you ain't got no money
For our drinking
But you'll be alright
I'm thinking
Like fish behind a window
Lit from below
Static in the water
Staring blankly to the corner
Been to Berlin
How does it feel to be home?
(Shit)

A Poor Man's Christmas
03:52

This year I can't afford to purchase
Presents for my family and friends
I have not a penny to rub between
My thumb and forefinger
This year it all went wayward
I had no gainful employment
With no cheerleader
To cheer me on
No woman
No fun
Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
Oh offer forgiveness
Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas
I let the family down
I am going to occupy
An old tent by a cathedral
The minister won't know what to do
What would Jesus do?
Oh Christmas
Offer Christmas
I let the family down
Next Christmas
I'll be back in business
You will all be showered in things

Silentish Night

Silent night holy night
Pray for calm pray for light
Bitter winter has taken your cheer
Tiresome company spoiled your beer
If only I could sleep
If only I could sleep
Violent night lonely night
Suited men starting fights
Threat of danger in the air
Dodging cars in the square
Drink in heavenly fear
Drink in heavenly fear
Silent night holy night
Hold me dear my new bride
Take your dress off and come to me
You the present I long to see
Glide in heavenly sheets
Sleep in heavenly peace
