Father Christmas
Written by: Ray Davies
Published by: Davray Music, Ltd.

Lyrics:

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Nobody makes songs for Christmas anymore- that is, Christmassy songs about Christmas (in recent memory, I can only recall The Darkness song)... I think that's why we've had to listen to the same ones for years.

But there are a couple of less played songs that sound like Christmas to me:

Put a Little Love in Your Heart- Al Green & Annie Lennox
Keeping the Dream Alive- Munchener Freiheit
I'll Find My Way Home- Jon & Vangelis

Exactly BadFaith, the last effort of a Christmas song was by The Darkness, and it wasn't a bad attempt.


My Favourite has to be Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song.

The Manic Street Preachers released a "christmassy" song recently Razz Well by released I mean given away as a free download. Its more recent than the Darkness one though (the manics one is 2007). Enjoy!

I don't really care for most Chrismas music-all sounds the same. I do, however, like greensleves and Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride

I especially hate when rock artists make Chrismas albums. Almost always bad (who wants to hear a Blondie christmas song? Not me...)
