Xtc: "Always Winter But Never Christmas" Lyrics

Always winter but never christmas

You wont open your box or kiss under this

How can I let you know? 



Always easter but never egg giving

Crucify me, I just dont call this living

How can I let you know? 



Cant you hear the bells ringing out? 

Cant 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 dont just sit there sieving



How can I let you know? 



Cant you read the words upon the wall? 

Cant you hear the butcher boys call? 

That we need to share, love between each pair

Stop it being, always winter but never christmas



Id unwrap you if youd 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? 



Cant you hear the bells ringing out? 

Cant 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
