about

Mariah Carey earns half a million dollars a year from that one Christmas single she released in 1994.

We could really use that kind of money, so we made a song combining all the essential festive elements – chimes, a saxophone solo and everything.

We’re pretty confident it's our ticket out of the rat race.

The song was recorded in September 2021 with producer Joe Marsh at Orchard Studios in Somerset.

It was 26 degrees Celsius outside while we were shaking sleighbells and singing about snow.

The single was named Track of the Day by Brian Foss of Seattle's KEXP Radio, and played on his Sonic Reducer show.

lyrics

Burned out by the fireside
The season raging all around me
Idle talk on aimless walks
I'd rather be alone this Christmas day

Now roll on May

When you're spent and overfed
You'll find me tucked up here in bed
This whole thing leaves me numb
So wake me when it's done

The celebrations never end
But I don't want to see my friends
They'll force me to have fun
When I just want someone to

Hold me near
This time of year
Coz I need you but you're not here
This Christmas

This rain won't go
When does it ever snow
I'm staying home

So when you're spent and overfed
You'll find me tucked up here in bed
This whole thing leaves me numb
Just wake me when it's done

The celebrations never end
But I don't want to see my friends
They'll force me to have fun
When I just want someone to

Hold me near
This time of year
Coz I need you but you're not here
This Christmas

Drunken by the fireside
The stench of alcohol upon me
Idle hands and cancelled plans
I'm bored and sad
Alone on Christmas day

Now roll on may

How I loathe and fear
This time of year

Coz I need you but you're not here
This Christmas

I need you but you're not here
