Around this time last winter I noticed how you smiled At the office party dinner Around colleagues you don't like Like the glitter ball and music You decorate the truth And I guess we fell in love 'Cause I'm not that different from you What a hell of a year I was all in, then you disappeared Snow falls, you're not around I was getting used to a quiet town Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down Now, I'm not one for wishing On a star so far away But they've made the city glisten With lights you can't escape Well there's tinsel in the river And the world is on the piss Still I'd carol-sing forever If you turned up on December 25th What a hell of a year I was all in, then you disappeared Snow falls, you're not around I was getting used to a quiet town What a hell of a time To have you back on my mind Took a while but I found A little piece with you not around Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down Now, here comes Christmas to tear me down
