But Hey, Happy Christmas Lyrics

But Hey Happy Christmas © Buxton/Bottomley
by The Strawheads
v1
no snow, but it’s raining
at some bedside someone’s heart is breaking
and somewhere hot there’s a terrorist training
at that blind spot kids die over-taking
but hey happy christmas to us now
v2
a third world crop is failing
for some lost soul the light is fading
a lone campaigner is chained to a railing
while another dam waster gets off ram-raiding
but hey happy christmas to us now
ch

it’s christmas time and only bad news sells
tills ringing, kids aint singing jingle bells
not the sad, mad or bad that every story tells
but give us peace on earth and not those living hells
there’ll be front page outrage any how
but hey happy christmas to us now
v3
our fat kids have started dying
a twisted priest the church is denying
a young grandmother gets caught supplying
and is the war over ‘cos the flags aint flying
but hey happy christmas to us now
ch
it’s christmas time and only bad news sells
tills ringing, kids aint singing jingle bells
not the sad, mad or bad that every story tells
but give us peace on earth and not those living hells
there’ll be front page outrage any how
but hey happy christmas to us now
