Adrian Henri’s Talking After Christmas Blues

Well I woke up this mornin' it was Christmas Day And the birds were singing the night away I saw my stocking lying on the chair Looked right to the bottom but you weren't there there was apples oranges chocolates . .. . aftershave but no you. So I went downstairs and the dinner was fine There was pudding and turkey and lots of wine And I pulled those crackers with a laughing face Till I saw there was no one in your place there was mincepies brandy nuts and raisins . . . mashed potato but no you. Now it's New Year and it's Auld Lang Syne And it's 1 2 o'clock and I'm feeling fine Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot? I don't know girl, but it hurts a lot there was whisky vodka dry Martini (stirred but not shaken) .... and 12 New Year resolutions all of them about you. So it's all the best for the year ahead As I stagger upstairs and into bed Then I looked at the pillow by my side . . .I tell you baby I almost cried there'll be Autumn Summer Spring . . . . and Winter all of them without you.
