The Christmas Invasion | Lyrics by Murray Gold | Peformed by
Neil Hannon
Well I woke up today,
And the world was a restless place;
It could have been that way for me...
And I wandered around,
And I thought of your face;
That Christmas looking back at me...
I wish today was just like every other day,
'Cause today has been the best day -
Everything I ever dreamed!
And I started to walk,
Pretty soon I will run;
And I'll come running back to you...
'Cause I followed my star,
And that's what you are;
I've had a merry time with you...
I wish today was just like every other day,
'Cause today has been the best day -
Everything I ever dreamed!
So have a good life,
Do it for me -
Make me so proud,
Like you want me to be;
Where ever you are,
I'm thinking of you, oceans apart
I want you to know...
Well I woke up today, and you're on the other side,
Our time will never come again;
But if you can still dream,
Close your eyes it will seem,
That you can see me now and then...
I wish today was just like every other day,
'Cause today has been the best day -
Everything I ever dreamed!
I wish today was just like every other day,
'Cause today has been the best day -
Everything I ever dreamed!
Love Don't Roam

Bride | Lyrics by Murray Gold | Peformed by Neil Hannon
Well I've roamed about this Earth
With just a suitcase in my hand,
And I've met some bog-eyed Joe's,
I've met the blessed, I've met the damned;
But of all the strange, strange creatures
In the air, at sea, on land,
Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
I love you, you understand...
So reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
'Cause my body's tired of travelling,
And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no.
I have wandered, I have rambled,
I have crossed this crowded sphere;
And I've seen a mass of problems
That I long to disappear!
Now all I have's this anguished heart,
For you have vanished too.
Oh, my girl, my girl, my precious girl,
Just what is this man to do?
So reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
'Cause my body's tired of travelling,
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam. No, no.
Well you took me in, you stole my heart,
I cannot roam no more;
Because love - it stays within you,
It does not wash up on a shore.
But a fighting man forgets each cut,
Each knock, each bruise, each fall;
But a fighting man cannot forget
Why his love don't roam no more.
Oh reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
'Cause my body's tired of travelling,
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
'Cause my body's tired of travelling
And my heart don't wish to roam.
Yeah, walk with me, my love, my love,
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far,
For you know my love, you are, you are,
You are my shining star!
Walk with me, oh my love,
Walk tall, walk proud, walk far.
For you know my love, you are, you are,
You are my shining star, you are, you are. Yeah!
Reel me in, my precious girl,
Come on, take me home;
My body's tired of travelling,
And my heart don't wish to roam.

I'm a country girl, I ain't seen a lot,
But you came along and my heart went POP!
You took a little street car to my heart,
And an apple of love fell off my apple cart!
You looked at me, my heart began to pound,
You weren't the sort of guy I thought would stick around,
Hey, but it don't have to be eternally;
My bad, bad Angel put the Devil in me!
You put the Devil in me...
You lured me in with your cold grey eyes,
Your simple smile and your bewitching lies;
One and one and one is three,
My bad, bad Angel... the Devil and me!
You put the Devil in me...
You put the Devil in me!
You put the Devil in me!
My bad, bad Angel, you put the Devil in me!
So, now my dear, I aint the girl you knew,
'Cause the Angel's got Heaven, but I get you;
And the tree of life grows tall, you see,
My bad, bad Angel - you put the Devil in me!
Oh... you put the Devil in me!
You put the Devil in me!
You put the Devil in me...
You put the Devil in... me!
My bad, bad Angel... you put the Devil in me!

Mamo
Once I found a stowaway,
Upon my ship on Christmas Day,
I was fair so I gave him a chance.
"You shouldn't be here, what's your tale?
I ought to throw you to the whale!"
He just smiled and said,
"Come here, let's dance."
He said, "Borrow or steal,
I'll find a way,
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day,
And I'll run and I'll roam,
I'll cover the ground,
This Christmas I'll see you,
I'll be around."
He told me 'bout his girl back home,
Waiting patient, all alone;
While we danced I shed a little tear,
He closed his eyes, all out at sea,
I think he danced with her not me,
I'll just have to wait another year.
He said, "Borrow or steal,
I'll find a way,
To be with my lover upon Christmas Day,
And I'll run and I'll roam,
I'll cover the ground,
This Christmas I'll see you,
I'll be around."
I think of him now and again,
I wonder how his journey ends;
As I sail by on my lonesome sea.
That stranger with the haunting face,
Here then gone without a trace,
Lying with his love, that's where he'll be.
"Beg, borrow or steal,
I'll find a way,
To be with my lover next Christmas Day,
And I'll run and I'll roam,
I'll cover the ground,
Next Christmas I'll see you,
I'll be around."
