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, ringing true
How we cling each day long to the snowflakes and 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 

Curse underneath the mistletoe leaves when 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 the bells end 
Christmas time don't let the bells end 

Christmas time 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
