Christmas in Talavera Lyrics

Who's the presents on the table hope they not for me

You know I love surprises put em away where I can't see

I'm not ungrateful just love the fact someone thought of me

It's tha time of year when Christmas and my birthday fall in

Early nights sky when tha frosts dominates ya morning

Neighbour skates across tha floor windscreen iced cars are stalling

With nothin on their mind but counting last days of work

Offices parties in abundance schedules loaded and about to burst

Talkin bout who ordered their turkey and their trimmings first

Everybodies dressing casual some in funny festive shirts

With nothin but tha classics on the radios

Mariah was the last ain't nothing later coming close

I ain't tryna do one but if do just let me know

Coz Last Christmas reminds me of my younger days

Way before the year was on the number plates

Back when shell suits double denim was the craze

And if you wanna watch a film at home it was video you had to wait

All you saw was Biro in the argos book

Like I was deprived I was beggin mum to look

She would remind of her childhood its like they were overlooked Damn

Pops would take me out just to shop for mum

Mum would do the same but had tha most already done

Sworn to secrecy at early age I succeeded on

And that's why I probably like surprises my house was full of them

Pops would take me out just to shop for mum

Mum would do the same but had tha most already done

Sneaking round like I was Santa life of the only son

Visiting big department stores up and down escalators it was fun

They had Tinsel everywhere filling up the stores

Snow falling people rushing through the sliding doors

Big boxes wrapped in ribbons carols singing wishing love to you and yours

Back at home tha turkey seasoned relatives are on their travels

Beds are prepped stockings hanging up from their door handles

Tree so big pyjamas caught up like I'm stuck in brambles

Playing round like hooligans at tha World Cup Final

Youngers like holdup we ain't at home how can Santa find you

I'm thinkin of my birthday list and what I missed hope Santa comes thru

Feel the love you know it's good let it all surround you

Celebrating with family remember those ain't here their vibes around you
