Song Lyrics

Feigning joy and surprise
At the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you
On the twenty-fifth day
Of the twelfth month, the sleigh bells are in time, ringin' true

How we cling, each Noel, to that snowflake's hope in hell
That it won't end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring in peace

Well, the weather is cruel
And the season of Yule lifts the heart, but it still hurts
You've got your career
Spent the best part of last year apart and it still hurts

So that's why I pray each and every Christmas day
That it won't end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring in peace

(Christmas time)
(Don't let the bells end)
(Christmas time)
(Don't let the bells end)

Poised underneath the mistletoe leaf
And you're not here
You went away, upon Boxing Day
Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year?

Christmas time (don't let it end)
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end (don't let the bells end)

Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring in peace
Christmas time (come on, kids)
Don't let the bells end (bells end)
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
