It was 3 O'clock on Christmas morning,
We were drunk in the back garden pointing at the clouds
They were forming a geometric shape around the moon
Like the mouth of a giant trying to swallow us whole
But we never thought it would be you, that we'd lose
Now it's 3 O'clock on Christmas morning
And we're still sat here mourning
But memories like this they keep my spirits up
Memories like this keep me going

I was standing at the edge of the world, ready to throw myself of it
When just like that film they always play at Christmas a man just appeared and said
"You're loved more than you could ever dream of
And this season is the time you should know it
But the people you love they have no idea, forget suicide- go home and show it!"
And I know this girl and she's my whole world
She puts colour in this black and white town
And I'd lasso the moon for her, do anything and one day I'll tell her so
And I got these friends, they'd do anything for me
You wouldn't understand a word they say I swear it
And If I ever lose them I've got my family, I couldn't pick another if you made me
So I woke up the next morning, not sure if I dreamed it
I pushed the snow from my window, asked a stranger what day was today?
He told me in an unconvincing cockney accent today was Christmas day
So I threw on a housecoat, and I ran out in the snow to tell everyone
It's a wonderful life so keep living
And if you've got love to give keep giving. Because
Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings

White clouds fill the sky, and you can't see the ground for snow
It's like the worlds trying it's best to reflect upon itself
But when I go out and look up I can't see myself down
It's something you're probably used to
Cause I look down on you a lot, but not in a bad way
There's just a clear height difference
December, December It's always been my favorite month
Remember remember, how she looked when she turned and kissed you in the snow
Always with the snow, It knows something that you don't know
And now tears they fill our eyes, and we both can't feel our toes
Like the world's trying it's best to keep us locked up in doors
But still we go out, hand in hand
It's something you're probably used to, You probably get it all the time
But not in a bad way, I just mean you must just hear "you're beautiful" a lot

Once I asked for everything, and that's just what I got
Now I only ask for you cause you are all I want
And just like they said in that song "All I want for Christmas is you"
When I show up on Christmas eve- just tell me what you want me to do
Dressed up for winter, I'll show up all coy
Give you everything you deserve
Kiss you on the forehead tell you I love you and shyly resort to the bed
If you ask for everything, that's just what you will get
But now you only ask for me, that's a gift in itself
So when I show up on Christmas eve- just tell me what you want me to do

I wrote your name upon my arm
But you made me burn it off
I really thought It'd prove my love
And make me look so dangerous
And when I sing in the choir
I always sing my own song
There's no time to be careful when you're this late
And the snow falls from the sky, like the tears fall from my eye
The season of giving always gives birth to the most lies
And so they chase mechanical beings
This Christmas miracle seems so far
99 Chances to 1 could refill that Christmas jar
So you say "it's a sign", but I say "It's a coincidence"
Crawl along the floor, maybe we'll find a winner
True love at first site is possible

In this Winter Wonderland I wanna kiss you
At every opportunity and chance that I can
And in this Winter Wonderland I slip my hands through your mittens
And I grip hard onto your hand
And you say
"Why would you pretend you're a lion?"
You say
"You're animal enough!"
In this Winter Wonderland I can't hear you say you love me
Cause I'm fucking freezing
In this Winter Wonderland when I kiss you, I've failed so many times
So It's pretty pleasing
Hold on tight we're going under the lights tonight

I heard the world was going to end before Christmas
But I started buying gifts anyway
Tied up in knots in your scarf and your mittens
Wearing a look that says It might end today
And if the movies have taught us anything
It'll end with a bang not a whimper
It's sad anyway, I hope we see the day-
Cause you said you'd come to mine for dinner
Here it comes the ghost of Christmas Past
Here he comes, he's gonna kick your ass
Cause he knows if you've been naughty or nice
And you ain't been nice so get out of here fast!
I heard the snow aint gonna come before Christmas
But I've started wrapping up anyway
Oh December you seem so grey
Walking backwards to stay safe from the rain
And if the movies have taught us anything
That ghost of Christmas Past might be right
It's sad anyway, I hope we see the day-
We could fall asleep in the snow on a Christmas night

You gave me your heart but I gave it away
To tell you the truth I didn't know what to say
You broke down in tears, I didn't know what to do
But honestly, did you really think this through
Now It's 12 months to the day It's Christmas eve
I've come to this party and now I want to leave
And you keep looking over like I wouldn't know your face
All your careless whispers are like earthquakes in this place
Now I'm once bitten twice shy
Keep your distance, stay out of my fucking life
I'm longer a shoulder to cry on
I'm no longer, someone you can rely on
And am I supposed to believe it when I see it on MTV
Cause that girl you're playing with in the snow don't look much like me
If there's a fire in your heart, I'll let it burn you to the ground
Cause of you it's a blue Christmas that's where I'm bound...

We'll do some shopping, then we'll get some food
And all our favourite bars will be packed the rafters
And I'll drink some whisky, you can some drink some wine
It's midweek, but it's Christmas so it should be fine
And it's cold outside, but inside it's so...
Then we'll go home, drink some more
Watch a film about- a family that fall apart but comes together again
But "if you don't sleep he won't come"
That's what my mother said.

I wake up in a cold sweat on Christmas Day cause I know that you're not there
And when I realise that you'll never be again, I wonder if I can bare it
Cause love it appears in the strangest places and loss is just the same
My mind wonders elsewhere I'm cooking the turkey
I'm not sure who I've to blame
Game off, Game on
Another Christmas without you by my side
Game off, Game on
Another night without you here
Mariah, you don't know what you're talking about!
I should be out on the streets on Christmas Day, Bauer blades strapped to my feet
Wrist shot, snap shot, slap shot, I'm just disappointed as I'm sitting down to eat

Well I know It's Christmas, Christmas Day but I want to go
Go get far away, out where there's more than just one tree
And the stars up above are all we see
Teddy and Tiny and me
I'm a lonely boy, adventures all I want this year
I'm a lonely boy, all I need are my toys
Teddy and Tiny and me
And I know It's Christmas, Christmas day but we gotta get out, got to find a way
All we need's in this red and blue backpack
Say we're leaving today and we're not coming back
There's a big world to see
My friends and me.

Every year I fucking read "The night before Christmas" and I cry
And I don't know why
Am I just in love with a world of wonder?
Do I long to hear those hoofs on my rooftop just like thunder?
Do I long for a meeting with a man made up of joy, who lives forever?
But I know that I cry, like a hundred times before
And I know next Christmas I will cry some fucking more...

It's cold where I am, How about you?
Haven't eaten for 4 days since you left me, just been chewing on this shoe.
And I know you're gonna come back soon, take us back to our cosy new home
And I know you're not the type of person to leave me all on my own
I'm not a Christmas present, I'm not just a game
I'm just the same as you- alive and burdened by a name
The stupid name you gave me.
When the sun comes up I'll find some energy and this is what I'll do
I'll find somebody- a fuck ton better than you!
I've made my list and I've checked it twice
It just says "Find me someone kind of different, somebody actually nice,
Somewhere with a fire place, somewhere with a fireplace"
If I see you in the streets I'll turn away
Yeah I got a Christmas present, I got a new name
I got a family who took me in, held me and told me I was not to blame
When the sun comes up I'll find some energy and this is what I'll do
I'll use all my energy just to forgive you.

You woke me in the darkness at 2am to tell me that he'd been
Your eyes were black and wide the pill always made you keen
But me I'm 14 I'm freezing and sober and I want to stay in bed
But you want me to
"Open all your presents right now! Open all your presents right now! and play that song that goes..."
"Wait, they don't love you like I love you"
From Real Ghostbusters, and late night films, I've seen the things you've seen
And I can power through all whisky mum bought me But I can't be where you've been
But me I'm 30, I'm motorways but you're alway in my head saying;
"Open all your presents right now! Open all your presents right now! and play that song that goes... Brother wait"

How many times can we put the lights on the tree?
Watching Gremlins when it's 6 degrees.
I've had 30 years of this, here's to 30 more
But I know Christmas can be such a bore.
How many times can things fall apart and come back together?
How many times can this be the worse Christmas ever?
But as long as I've got you, and you've got me
It'll be Christmas in our hearts for eternity.
What a cliche.

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK
Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.
He wishes he
could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense.

If you like Lovers Turn to Monsters, you may also like:
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
