1.	Christmas Alone 03:02 video	lyrics	buy track
Christmas bells are ringing Children carol-singing There's nobody waiting under my mistletoe Though your party's swinging Everyone is minging But I don't really want to leave here on my own Heard the merry sound of Slade Where's the future they said's just begun? I'm giving up hope 'Cause the time is getting late Still I'm stood here without anyone Could this be Christmas alone? Oh-oh oh-oh I don't want Christmas alone Oh-oh oh-oh I don't want Christmas alone Christmas hits are playing Now the room is swaying Maybe I've had too much and I need to go home Hey, wait a minute, I see someone looking at me This could be the one I'd better put down my coat We're dancing now to Darlene Does that mean that it's Love? I don't know, let's see where it goes DJ, don't play any Cliff That'll kill my one chance And I don't want Christmas alone Give us Wizzard, give us Wham! Give us all the Ronettes in your box Just nothing too slow yet Though they're played ad nauseam Every time we go out to the shops I think they're my only hope 'Cause I don't want Christmas alone No, I don't want Christmas alone I don't want Christmas alone Oh-oh oh-oh I don't want Christmas alone I don't want Christmas alone Don't want to try to pull a cracker on my own No, I don't want Christmas alone
2.	I'm Not Coming Home for Christmastime 00:59 video	lyrics	buy track
Well, I won't pretend I didn't hear annoyance in your tone When I got my 37 seconds talking on the phone Yeah, our calls get ever shorter even though we're many miles apart It's like you're treading on my heart Now the shortest day is done I told you I'd be packing now But I saw the party pictures He was with you in the crowd I could see it in your gaze As he held you in his big strong arms Really turning on the charm And the messages I send, they go unread for many hours Everything we used to have is very quickly turning sour I don't wanna make the trip if everything is going wrong I just can't take this any longer Oh no, I'm not coming home for Christmastime Yeah, you can have your fun, but you and I are done No, I'm not coming home this Christmastime This Christmastime
3.	Christ Almighty 01:18 video	lyrics
Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today The angel said to Mary, "You're the chosen one, Better tell your fiancé that you're having God's son" Joseph wasn't happy but he wanted to believe Had to get to Bethlehem to start Christmas Eve Oh, Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today These three wise men thought, "Something's going down" Took a road trip over to Bethlehem town Found him in a stable, it was wintertime, brrr So they gave him some gold, frankincense, and myrrh Gold and frankincense and myrrh Oh, Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today Oh, Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today Yeah, Christ Almighty, Christ Almighty Christ Almighty was born today
