about

Before... I admit it I am a very reluctant Christmas enthusiast. Time to Put things Right is a chronicle of my thoughts and feelings about Christmas as they unfold over the season. Not altogether thrilled to begin with but hey what're gonna do except give in "It's Christmas time, time to put things right, wear your cheesy jumpers, sparkly dresses, suicidal shoes"

lyrics

Time To Put Things Right

Here it comes again
no way you can escape
Rudolph and Santa and good will out of tune carolers in your face
Counting the pennies up
No credit to take the strain
Shake out the shabby old tinsel and trusty paper chains
Making promises
Don't know if you can keep
looking for ways of doing it on the cheep because...

It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Even your darkest days
Brighten in the fairy lights because...
It's Christmas time
Don't put up a fight
It's easier to just give in
Buckle up it might be a bumpy ride

Feel the spirit rise
With every brimming glass
Extending heart felt seasonal greetings to every one you pass
Rejoice in Excelsius
Following the herds
Making the annual pilgrimage somewhere I think it's called the church?
Even you can't resist
Hard as you try
Even the die hard hum bugs crack a smile because

It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to feel the love again
maybe more than once or twice because...
It's Christmas time
What have you got to lose
Wear your cheesy jumpers, sparkly dresses and suicidal shoes


Like a child again
Where's the harm in that
Before you know it it's over and you've got to deal with all the crap
Pack it all away do it with good cheer
Along with resolutions you fail to keep next year
Gather the ones you love
And the even ones you don't
Bury the grudges and have some fun because...

It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to forget everything
Leave it all behind because....
It's Christmas time
Time to put things right
Time to feel the love again
maybe more than once or twice........
