After Christmas

from The Guardian by Matt Kaye

lyrics

You'll never know what's going on
Inside those mangers in the dark
Do herald angels smoke cigars
If so, who shot the northern star

The snow that reeks of silence now
Has gone from preciousness to wreck
And all the love that he endured
Will turn to hatred in a sec

The shops just disilluminate
From all the dark nightwatchman stares
And all the million dollar brats
Suddenly turn to billionaires

The church bells all seem out of tune
But now that's all they can afford
That being said, it's hard to ring
"Where Could I Go But to the Lord"
