"It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas" by Pet Shop Boys

Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be 
Families fighting around a plastic tree 
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see 
And it's hardly ever snowing 
The way it's meant to be 
Like in White Christmas year after year 
Bing Crosby, Bring Crosby 
Are you listening to me? 

It doesn't often snow at Christmas 
The way it's meant to do 
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas 
Because I'll be with you 

The Christmas message was long ago lost 
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost 
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun 
And what this is this year's festive number one 

It doesn't often snow at Christmas 
The way it's meant to do 
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas 
Because I'll be with you 

Neil: Merry Christmas 
Chris: And a happy new year
