Lyrics:Always Winter Never Christmas

by XTC

Always winter but never Christmas You won't open your box or kiss under this How can I let you know? Always Easter but never egg giving Crucify me, I just don't call this living How can I let you know? Can't you hear the bells ringing out? Can't you hear the fishmongers shout? That the way to live is celebrate and give Stop it being, always winter but never Christmas Always ageing but never birthday Told your last joke and threw your mirth away Oh how can I let you know? Always turkey time, never Thanksgiving Share some gold out, but don't just sit there sieving How can I let you know? Can't you read the words upon the wall? Can't you hear the butcher boy's call? That we need to share, love between each pair Stop it being, always winter but never Christmas I'd unwrap you if you'd only step down from your tree From your present into some undone future with me Always winter but never Christmas Always thatmas but never thismas Oh how can I let you know? Can't you hear the bells ringing out? Can't you hear the fishmongers shout? That the way to live is celebrate and give That we need to share, love between each pair Warm it up Always winter but never Christmas
