lyrics

Washing up the pots and pans for her man,
As he's moving too slow,
Covered in snow.

Temperature drops down to freezing the ground,
As the sky starts to fall,
Ambulance call.

Decorations go up in the night while they're sleeping,
They never thought it would happen,
But they could still smell burning flesh.

They never knew,
They never knew,
They never knew.

Oh! What a christmas this will be,
Coupled with silence that comes from a memory.

Dusting down the smoky living room,
Curtains still sparkle with glee,
Glittering tree.

The forensics said the cause was unknown,
All they had were their bones,
Ashes in cones.

Decorations go up in the night while they're sleeping,
They never thought it would happen but they can still smell burning flesh.

They never knew,
They never knew,
They never knew.

Oh! What a christmas this will be,
Coupled by silence that comes form a memory.

This is not a happy time,
For a lot of other lives,
They don't have the privilege of having a family to sit with around a turkey crown.

about

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.
