about

Written and recorded by Wiiince in Tackley and Kings Norton for the Cherryade Records 2022 Very Cherry Christmas compilation (cherryaderecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-very-cherry-christmas-volume-16).

lyrics

the rail replacement chugs down the motorway
presents filling the aisles
and we’re buying for people we’ve no idea about
who don’t care for us either

when I first broke out my winter coat
I found a five pound note
but 5 months later got moths in my wallet
that brief flash of hope was a slippery slope
and I’m face down
bloody nose on the ground

hold it together keep your mouth shut
it’ll be over soon enough
the weight off your chest when you arrive back at home
untethered you’ll start to float
the three days at work between now and new year
are a blissful calming joy
no one to bother you
quiet and still

the beautiful sound
of just yourself in the house

the rail replacement stops at the services
stench of the loo lingers on
and we’re patiently waiting for the next replacement
as ours has had enough

it’s hard, it’s tough
when one day is too much
and a long christmas break
feels like a massive mistake

christmas christmas yeah yeah yeah
