Another childless christmas
Don’t be sad
For the child you never had
For the daughter or likely lad
Who would help you disappear and be glad

(Do they) keep saying you’re not quite a woman?
(Do they) do they say you’re not fully a man?
Not til you’ve started to live for somebody
Somebody other than you understand?

Another childless christmas on the way
Hear the candlelight carollers play
Is this the best we can do by the way?
Caterwauling the evening away

Still the picture is loving and plеasing
And the number it does on your rеasoning
Is welcome like oblivion is
Welcome this season, it’s a very strange season

Holy hell, now the talent show singer
Breaks the chains on a Yule humdinger
By the way that he buries the band you might think
He did sing of the blight in the land

Another childless christmas so have a cry
Tell them all you got dust in your eye
When will you finish your ghost lullaby?
When will you learn not to sing it?

Where were you when they murdered the river?
(I was there)
Where were you when the bowl got turned over?
(I was there)
For the child that you never had
Don’t be voided, don’t be sad

Where will you be this time tomorrow
(I’ll be gone)
When the world is a great bloody sorrow
(All gone)
And every day is a fever, a fight
And every Christmas is a childless Christmas?
