about

This song is set in 2011, during the time of the arab spring, right after the financial crash

lyrics

Global Financial Crisis, protesters in Tahrir Square
People in tents on wall street, scent of dissension in the air

He’s sleeping on the pavement, dissatisfaction’s written on his shirt
Just when you thought that things were changing, they pushed us back, down into the dirt

working all the hours God sends just to earn some money just enough to live but not to do the things you want to
Spending too much time at the pub drinking all my money money money money,
IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Everybody’s telling me, it’s time to get a new TV, I’ve got to get my act together, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!
Now my TV’s telling me, I have to get it in HD, it will have better quality, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

They say that elves ain’t real
But if they are they're probably all Chinese
Coca-cola made up Santa
Turns out I have to get presents myself

Sipping some champagne on my yacht, I've got lots of money, money, money....
Sinking to the depths of despair, 'caus I've got no money, money, money.....
Argue with my family again, cos I got shit presents one of those again I always get one every year
Losing all my money again, I’m at the derby, derby, derby, derby, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Everybody’s telling me, it’s time to get a new TV, I’ve got to get my act together, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!
Now my TV’s telling me, I have to get it in HD, it will have better quality, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!
Ahahahah---its nearly christmas
My kids want a games console, they didn’t like their antique bowls, next year it’s a lump of coal, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Seas & temperatures will rise, too many living things will die, disaster, hunger, water-shortage, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS
Got caught by my little nipper, I was eating all the carrots, now they don’t believe in Santa, I’VE RUINED CHRISTMAS!
Take more oil from the Arctic, rape the seas until they're septic, burn the forests bomb the mountains, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS
My kids want a games console, they didn’t like their antique bowls, next year it’s a lump of coal, IT’S NEARLY CHRISTMAS!

Money Money Money......
Pound Sterling, Dollar, Yen, Rouble, Euro, Rupee, Dinero.
