From the recording Bricks & Dust
Lyrics
SILENT NIGHT
It’s cold in the bleak midwinter
With the holly all covered in snow
And the old and frail in their houses
All frightened with nowhere to go
Whilst the young get drunk in the cities
All hail now Smirnoff is king
There’s girls laid-out in the gutter
As the fights for the taxis begin
And it’s blue so blue this Christmas
Working with blood on their hands
It’s a picture that’s now so familiar
In towns all across our land
And it’s way past four in the morning
When the chavs put away their knives
And a couple of hours later
Till the cops can go home to their wives
In the country the farmers awaken
In a manger no longer to find
Their quad bikes and trailers all missing
Santa took more than he left behind
So merry merry Christmas
All’s silent tonight once more
And I wonder if anyone remembers
The story that started it all
Yes I wonder if anyone remembers
The story that started it all
Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
