The Delegates
Christmas is coming, the snowflakes will be falling
It’s the most wonderful time of year
So hang up, your stockings, put the tinsel on the tree
Because Christmas is coming, my dear
It’s the only time of year the reindeer fly
You can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky
Gather all your family round, or go out and paint the town
It’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down
So baby, light a fire, and we’ll toast the night away
Because Christmas is coming, our way
It’s the only time of year the reindeer fly
You can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky
Gather all your friends round, or go out and paint the town
It’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down
So baby, light a fire, and toast the night away
Because Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming, our way
It’s the most wonderful time of year
So hang up, your stockings, put the tinsel on the tree
Because Christmas is coming, my dear
It’s the only time of year the reindeer fly
You can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky
Gather all your family round, or go out and paint the town
It’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down
So baby, light a fire, and we’ll toast the night away
Because Christmas is coming, our way
It’s the only time of year the reindeer fly
You can see them on their sleigh ride cross the sky
Gather all your friends round, or go out and paint the town
It’s the only time of year the whole wide world turns upside down

Because Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming
Christmas is coming, our way

I know I’m hard to understand
But I hope you make the effort anyway
You hold our future in your hand
I hope we make it longer than a day
I can’t help showing my emotions
I gotta be a little more discreet
If you feel a fraction of affection
And come and sweep me off my feet
If we could just solve all this confusion
If we could sort it out
We’d get through this situation, no more hesitation
We’d focus on what we’re about
Don’t say sorry for who you are
Endless apologies don’t get you far
Cause I know, that you know, that we’re in love, that we’re in love
I don’t believe it when you tell me
That you think everything’s going fine
You sure got a funny way of showing it
So this is where I draw the line
If we could just solve all this confusion
If we could sort it out
We’d get through this situation, no more hesitation
We’d focus on what we’re about
Don’t say sorry for who you are
Endless apologies won’t get you far
I know, that you know, that we’re in love, that we’re in love
Don’t say sorry for who you are
Endless apologies won’t get you far
I know, that you know, that we’re in love, that we’re in love
Don’t say sorry for who you are
Endless apologies won’t get you far
I know, that you know, that we’re in love, that we’re in love
But I hope you make the effort anyway
You hold our future in your hand
I hope we make it longer than a day
I can’t help showing my emotions
I gotta be a little more discreet
If you feel a fraction of affection
And come and sweep me off my feet
If we could just solve all this confusion
If we could sort it out

Don’t say sorry for who you are
Endless apologies won’t get you far
I know, that you know, that we’re in love, that we’re in love

It’s December 2nd, the snow begins to fall
Babe I’m getting ready, we’re gonna have a ball
So babe let’s hang out stockings, and put the presents beneath the tree
Cause baby, it’s that time of year again
Christmas is Here
It’s time for celebration, the holidays have come,
We’re gonna grab another drink, give that guy a cheeky wink
You know it’s time to have some fun
We’ll get the champagne flowing, and toast away another year
Cause baby it’s that time of year again
Christmas Is Here
C’mon baby let’s raise our glasses
Because Christmas time is here
It’s time for singing and dancing
Baby let’s spread a little Christmas cheer
We’ll sing the same old songs, Mariah will reappear
And when this comes to an end, in a week we’ll go again
To welcome in a happy new year
For for now we’ll keep on singing, with the ones that we hold dear
Cause baby it’s that time of year again

You said you wanna play your game
You dealt me in, said i’d pick it up, it’s all the same
Don’t follow all the rules,
I know you don’t, you change day by day, it hardly seems that fair
How can anybody understand?
How can anybody win?
8 points later, thought it was about time, we hit the finish line
But 8 points later, I wasn’t winning at all, I was just further behind
You played your hand, I showed my cards,
I took my tiles right from your heart
I laid them down before your eyes
Game over, blow the whistle, we’re out of time
C’mon baby, it’s your turn, your time to play
What are you scared of, why do you keep running away
C’mon just show your hand
Do you even wanna play, it was your idea, but you hardly seem to care
Why do you expect me to want to stay?
How can anybody win?
8 points later, thought it was about time, we hit the finish line
8 points later, I wasn’t winning at all, I was just further behind
You played your hand, I showed my cards,
I took my tiles right from your heart
I laid them down before your eyes
Game over, blow the whistle, we’re out of time
You’re just using me for fun, to take the win, and then we’re done
I thought I meant a little more, don’t wanna play no more
C’mon boy, tag me out
8 points later
8 points later
8 points later

Cold outside, rain is falling
Tuesday morning 6am
Half-asleep I’ll kiss your cheek dear
Upset you have to leave again
Why not just lay here a little longer
I got no place I need to go
You know I think I’ll think of you all day dear
You’re in my heart just so you know
Wherever you go
Wherever you’ve been
Cause baby forever, and always
Beside you I’ll be
And if you can’t see where you’re going
I’ll be the torch that lights the way
And if tomorrow you don’t remember
I’ll tell you stories from yesterday
You don’t feel safe then darling I’ll hold you
I will keep you warm at night
Cause I know many moons from right now
I’ll still be holding you so tight
Wherever you go
Wherever you’ve been
Cause baby forever, and always
Beside you I’ll be
Wherever you go
Wherever you’ve been
Cause baby forever, and always
Beside you I’ll be
Tuesday morning 6am
Half-asleep I’ll kiss your cheek dear
Upset you have to leave again
Why not just lay here a little longer
I got no place I need to go
You know I think I’ll think of you all day dear
You’re in my heart just so you know
Wherever you go

Cloudless skies in the midday sun
The bees are buzzing now that spring is done
The birdsong blows as the tide rolls out
These memories are what summers about
Beachside walks with a view for miles
But the rolling hills can’t compete with your smile
Evenings in with a movie and take out
Being with you is what summers about
The long days come and we both get tired
But we’ll sleep the night away
And even if we scream and shout
You know that when there comes a new day
We’ll make morning pancakes
And watch the rising sun
And after morning pancakes
You know our summers just begun
Lazy evenings with bbq’s
Blowing away all the winter blues
Summers easy with you by my side
So bring on next year and enjoy the ride
And even when the sun don’t shine so bright
We’ll find a way
We’ll just wait till morning light,
You know that then i’ll wake up and say
We’ll make morning pancakes
And watch the rising sun
And after morning pancakes
You know our summers just begun
Oh you know our summers just begun
Oh you know our summers just begun
The bees are buzzing now that spring is done
The birdsong blows as the tide rolls out
These memories are what summers about
Beachside walks with a view for miles
But the rolling hills can’t compete with your smile
Evenings in with a movie and take out
Being with you is what summers about
The long days come and we both get tired
But we’ll sleep the night away
And even if we scream and shout
You know that when there comes a new day
We’ll make morning pancakes
And watch the rising sun
And after morning pancakes
You know our summers just begun
Lazy evenings with bbq’s
Blowing away all the winter blues
Summers easy with you by my side
So bring on next year and enjoy the ride
And even when the sun don’t shine so bright

We’ll just wait till morning light,
You know that then i’ll wake up and say
We’ll make morning pancakes
And watch the rising sun
And after morning pancakes
You know our summers just begun
Oh you know our summers just begun
Oh you know our summers just begun

Did the world wake up on the wrong side of bed
Sleepy eyes and a red hot pounding head
Oh I’m surprised that we still manage to circle the sun
We should all be dead and buried from the damage we done
10pm rolls around, it’s the same old tale
A shooting here and the following political trail,
I grab a beer and I sit down on the floor
Change it over to the comedy on channel 4
I only watch it for the weather
Then at least there’s hope for sun
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
All these guys in suits seem to make all this pain,
What goods a rainbow without any rain,
It’s always crying and oppression of somebody else
Change the channel before you lose your sense of self
My little sister doesn’t look at the papers they read,
All doom and gloom, never what we’ve achieved,
And I don’t blame her, but every night at ten twenty-five,
I switch it over and hope the weather mans alive
I only watch it for the weather
Then at least there’s hope for sun
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
I only watch it for the weather
Then at least there’s hope for sun
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
And sometimes it turns out to be a cloudy day
I know that come the summertime, there won’t be a drop of rain,
You see these problems they aren’t seasonal
I’ve given up and I don’t watch at all
I only watch it for the weather
Then at least there’s hope for sun
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
I only watch it for the weather
Then at least there’s hope for sun
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
Don’t tell me this goes on forever
The weather ain’t for everyone
