Aidan Moffat Y Rm Hubbert - Ode To Plastic Mistletoe Lyrics

The pub is full of young kids snogging
Cheap synthetic polymers above their noggins
It's Christmas, and that's just what you do

Their plastic mistletoe, it can live forever
To imitate it, that was my endeavour
When it came to loving you

And as I sit here without you
With my clothes and my soul both soaked through
The kids sing out their festive song
This bar, this town, it's not where I belong

The bargain fairy lights all flash and fizzle
There's no snow, just damp and drizzle
Are you warming by the fire?

It's nearly midnight, the countdown's started
It's a hollow toll for the heavy-heartеd
Are you singing in the choir?

And hell, what doеs it matter
If I get drunk, if I get fatter
There's no one there, there's no one here
So raise your glass and we can toast a happy new year
