Align:    
  • St stephens day murders
  • (paddy moloney/elvis costello)
  • I knew of two sisters whose name it was christmas,
  • And one was named dawn of course, the other one was named eve.
  • I wonder if they grew up hating the season,
  • Of the good will that lasts til the feast of st. stephen
  • For that is the time to eat, drink, and be merry,
  • til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey has flowed.
  • And the whole family tree you neglected to bury,
  • Are feeding their faces until they explode.
  • Chorus:
  • Therell be laughter and tears over tia marias,
  • Mixed up with that drink made from girders.
  • cause its all weve got left as they draw their last breath,
  • And its nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them,
  • In the st stephens day murders.
  • Uncle is garglin a heart-breaking air,
  • While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair.
  • And were not drunk enough yet to dare criticize,
  • The great big kipper tie hes about to baptize.
  • His gin-flavoured whiskers and kisses of sherry,
  • His best crimble shirt slung out over the shop.
  • While the lights from the christmas tree blow up the telly,
  • His face closes in like an old cold pork chop.
  • Alternate chorus:
  • And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast,
  • May still be found haunting the kitchen.
  • And theres life in it yet, we may live to regret,
  • When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin.
  • Regular chorus repeat

    • Report error in lyric
