lyrics

A Wintery December
Could’ve been a knife,
Could’ve been some pyjamas,
Could’ve been a kick in the teeth,
Could’ve been a family dinner,
Could’ve been no one here at all,
But all I want for Christmas is a hug.

We awoke on Christmas morning,
We awoke on Christmas day,
To the sound of Mummy yawning,
On the ground the snow is falling,
Our Daddy wasn’t sleeping,
He was in the bathroom crying,
His hands were slowly bleeding,
His appearance was of dying,
All the money had dried up,
On a Wintery December.

Could’ve been a wish,
Could’ve been a slapping,
Could’ve been lots of smiling,
Could’ve been an apology,
Could’ve been reconciliation,
Could’ve been an effigy,
Could’ve been something more than that,
Could’ve been absolutely nothing,
But all I want for Christmas is a hug,
From you.

We awoke on Christmas morning,
We awoke on Christmas day,
To the sound of Mummy yawning,
On the ground the snow is falling,
Our Daddy wasn’t sleeping,
He was in the bathroom crying,
His hands were slowly bleeding,
His appearance was of dying,
All the money had dried up,
On a Wintery December.

about

Jay Stansfield image

Jay Stansfield Lancashire

Original, affecting and a tad bonkers, Jay Stansfield has charmed us with his inventive approach to songwriting.

An artist with an eccentric songcraft, wrapped up in a 60s pop sheen.

He has steadily built a bank of great songs and some amazing videos - in his fiercely independent fashion.

Jay is also fronts British postpunk band ALL HAIL HYENA who can be found here on Bandcamp. ... more
