Always Winter But Never Christmas Lyrics - Xtc

Always winter but never Christmas 

You won't open your box or kiss under this 

How can I let you know? 

Always Easter but never egg giving 

Crucify me, I just don't call this living 

How can I let you know? 

Can't you hear the bells ringing out? 

Can't you hear the fishmongers shout? 

That the way to live is celebrate and give 

Stop it being, always winter but never Christmas 

Always aging but never birthday 

Told your last joke and threw your mirth away 

Oh how can I let you know? 

Always turkey time, never thanksgiving 

Share some gold out, but don't just sit there sieving 

How can I let you know? 

Can't you read the words upon the wall? 

Can't you hear the butcher boy's call? 

That we need to share, love between each pair 

Stop it being, always winter but never Christmas 

I'd unwrap you if you'd only step down from your tree 

From your present, into some undone future with me 

Always winter but never Christmas 

Always that'mas but never this'mas 

Oh how can I let you know? 

Can't you hear the bells ringing out? 

Can't you hear the fishmongers shout? 

That the way to live is celebrate and give 

That we need to share, love between each pair 

Warm it up 

Always winter but never Christmas
