A Solo Xmas (mediocre thrills) Lyrics

I don't want covid this Christmas

I'd like reasonable energy bills

I'd like a clean slate of mental health

And my family to remember their anti-cunt pills

I'm an adult now

And I don't ask a lot

I'll make do with mediocre thrills

Put a fireplace video on youtube

Play some Sufjan on Spotify

Nat King Cole if you're feeling traditional

Burn your mouth glugging scalding mulled wine

Light up that tinsel-less Christmas tree

And get loaded while the day goes by

I'll eat my Christmas dinner solo

And watch Die Hard on the TV

And only the people I actually like

Will get the pleasure of seeing me

I'll watch James Stewart as George Bailey

And Scrooge played by Michael Caine

Pile up every copy of Love, Actually

And set alight to them once they're doused with propane

Oh for fucks sake

The neighbours have put out

Their same shit lights again

Wear your festive satirical jumpers

Ignore the politician liars

Stuff yourself full of mice pies

Then throw another Tory PM on the fire

They'll burn for a while

Maybe all winter long

Or at least til the year expires

Once again there'll be no snow this Christmas

So we'll go for a walk in the rain

The sky is grey with little natural light

Time to set expectations low again

Woo

I don't want covid this Christmas

I'd like reasonable energy bills

I'd like a clean slate of mental health

And my family to remember their anti-cunt pills

I don't want covid this Christmas

I'd like reasonable energy bills

I'd like a clean slate of mental health

And my family to remember their anti-cunt pills

I'm an adult now

And I don't ask a lot

I'm an adult now

And I don't ask a lot

Oh I'm an adult now

And I don't need a lot

I'll make do with mediocre thrills
