Xmas by the Bins

Xmas by the bins

If you've finished your drink

You can meet me outside

I know that its cold

And I know that you're tired

But if you stick with me

Then I'll find you a treat

A feast for a king

Right here in the street

We'll travel around

And seek out the best

From town square to High Street

And all of the rest

Cos all of those people

In restaurants and such

Never eat all they have

They order too much

I'll prepare you a meal

And forgive all your sins

We'll be eating for England

And have Xmas by the bins

Woah, its only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Yeah, its only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Oh we might find some cider

Or a splash of mulled wine

And I know its not whiskey

But I'm sure we'll be fine

We won't get a turkey

Or blankets for pigs

But there might be some pudding

Or holly in sprigs

Then we'll light up a fire

And watch the flames dance

As the snow falls around us

We'll be high on romance

So gather around

And sing us a song

We'll keep ourselves warm

Because together we are strong

Woah, its only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Yeah, its only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

And if we can't find it here

We'll move across town

There are quality places

That wont let us down

Like the back of the precinct

There be mince pies

Where one person's waste

Is another one's prize

We can make up a banquet

And devour it with thanks

And if all else fails

There's always food banks

Now I know it's a joke

And that given a choice

We'd all rather spend Xmas

Where its warm and its nice

And that given the chance

We'd be in our own home

With some family, some friends

And just not alone

So it can't be beyond us

To share out some wealth

From the business of money

To the business of health

And to see all the children

In beds of their own

The lost and the lonely

Who don't have a home

So you governments and leaders

You Priests, Kings and Queens

Mankind is our business

So let's all take heed

But this kind of thinking

Must come from the top

And let's face it, if Jesus was real

Then wouldn't this just STOP

Woah, if only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Oh, if only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Yeah, if only once a year

This Xmas by the bins

Oh, if only once a year

This Xmas by the bins
