Lyrics
English: "It was Christmas day in North Acton / And the turkey promised a treat / But unfortunately stayed in his wrapping / In the butchers just over the street / My cooker, you see, was too tiny / To taste such traditional fare / And I'm not really a bit eater / And there was nobody present to share / It was Christmas day in North Africa / But Nigeria had forgotten the date / Sanctioned myrrh from all mankind / They delivered the presents of hate... / It was the day after Christmas Khe Sanh / And relatives out in the crowd / Shared a final family reunion / Boxing the dead in white shrouds"
