That Season Lyrics | OLDER

Hey it's late, I've been working hard
I can see you're tired too
Please don't try to talk about those things
I don't want to fight with you

So while you sleep I watch the late-night TV
Tonight the world will fall apart, for you and for me

I light a cigarette and pour a drink
I can feel it going wrong
Please don't try to reach me now
I've been far away too long

So while you sleep I watch the late-night TV
Tonight the world will fall apart, for you and for me

Between the rock stars with a temporary chart reprieve
And the token seasonal offerings scheduled Christmas Eve
Everyone is finding the time to stop and think
of all the Yule Tide greetings free with every drink

On channel 3, a sermon, rallies round the nation
On channel 2, a man in blue talks of low inflation
The troops say hello to mum and wave to girlfriends missed
And Harris found a crate or two to help the lads get pissed

And friends from 40 years ago, are 20-second stars
Reunited with a lost one living life on Mars
The newsman with a straight face, who tells us life is grim
Is dancing on the specials and advertising gin

The saviours of the needy remind us of their cause
The refuges are freezing, it's Christmas in the wars
And there's a man with a cardboard house, it's built between the breaks
An ideal gift for mother, from the box a home he makes

On channel 4, a classic, a favourite family show
The one that has the tears falling in the snow
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year too
Wishing you and yours better times, with love from me to you

I can't believe this is happening, I can't believe this is real
Tonight I held you for the last time, you'll never know how I feel

Hey it's late I've been working hard
I can see you're tired too
If we never get to talk again
At least I'll never fight with you
