*** CHRISTMAS SINGLE : FOR FOOD BANKS ***

This idea came about last year. Joe posted a beautiful poem and I turned it into a song.

We’ll need your help if this is to do anything, folks.

1. Please share share share!!!
2. Please donate if you can.

The single is free.

2021 UPDATE: no donation link (we raised over £800 last year!) but I’ll give everything away that folk want to pay for this track. Cheers.

lyrics

THE OTHER SIDE OF CHRISTMAS

When the sleigh bells all stop ringing,
And the Christmas cards come down;
When your credit card comes calling,
And only Jack Frost paints the town;
With the good will slowly dying,
Like the needles on your tree;
When you thank your lucky stars
You've locked the door on company.

I sit crumpled in a doorway
But there's no-one left to see
On the other side of Christmas
Who spares a thought for me?

No choirs serenade me
In these bleak midwinter days
And the Poundland Santa's given all
His Ho-Ho-Hope away
No sympathy, no bonhomie
No charity, no cheer
And the food that you all threw away
Would feed me for a year.

I sit crumpled in a doorway
But there's no-one left to see
On the other side of Christmas
Please spare a thought for me.

Was Jesus Christ our saviour
Born on Christmas Day
To teach mankind to kick me.
And to leave me where I lay?

Merry Christmas, one and all.
