I realised that no place on the internet seemed to have a tab of this song so I
thought I d give it a try, hopefully I didn t do too badly :]
INTRO: x4
Iâm looking forward to Christmas
Itâs sentimental I know, but I just really like it
Iâm, Iâm hardly religious
Iâd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
The commercialisation of an ancient religion
And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
But I still really like it.
I, I really like Christmas
Though Iâm not expecting a visit from Jesus
Iâll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
Theyâll be drinking white wine in the sun
Iâll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
Weâll be drinking white wine in the sun.
I donât go for ancient wisdom
I donât believe just âcause ideas are tenacious it means that theyâre worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy
And yes I have all of the usual objections
To the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution
And taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs.
Iâm not expecting big presents
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me.
âCause Iâll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
Theyâll be drinking white wine in the sun
Iâll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
Theyâll be drinking white wine in the sun.
And you my baby girl
My jetlagged infant daughter
Youâll be handed round the room
Like a puppy at a primary school
And youâre too young to know
But you will learn yourself one day
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people whoâll make you feel safe in this world
My sweet blue-eyed girl
And if my baby girl
When youâre twenty-one or thirty-one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
Youâll know whatever comes
Your brother and sister, and me and your mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun
Girl, when Christmas comes
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
Weâll be waiting for you in the sun
Baby, whenever you come
Weâll be drinking white wine in the sun
Waiting.
I, I really like Christmas
Itâs sentimental I know.
