"I wish we felt the way we did
At Christmas time when we were kids
The world seemed full of promises"
She said

I said
"Sister, that's cheap sentiment
A rose-tinted ruse you use to pretend
You're happy now - you were a miserable cow back then"

I wish you Christmas
Though I don't know what that means
I wish you most of what you want
And everything you need

To all my friends and family
It's a dirty job
I agree
I wish you love and I'm sorry for the mess

And as we approach the final bend
Of another year
I wish again
We'll still be here next time to spend what's left

I wish you Christmas
Though I don't know what that means
I wish you most of what you want
And everything you need
I wish you me
