A Doe to a Deer

A Doe to a Deer - Los Campesinos!

I came two weeks before Christ

Not tender nor mild

From the womb

I came a-wailing silent night

But I'll give you something to believe in

You'll see three ships sailing in

I'm a frail evergreen

Be a bauble hanging off of me

Pine needles a'pricking at your bare feet

I'll be anything you want of me

Carrot nosed encased in snow

An angel teetering atop a tree

Vomiting from vertigo

If you'll be mine for Christmas

A doe to a deer

I'll be home for Christmas

And home will be here

I'm three sheets to the wind

But the wind is a sleet

And this sheet ain't

One of snow to play beneath

And my nose is red from the whiskey

I'm Boxing Day game away

Shirtless cherubs on the terrace

Singing hymns praying the saviour scores today

And that he is one but not the only

I'll be anything you want of me

Carrot nosed encased in snow

An angel teetering atop a tree

Vomiting from vertigo

If you'll be mine for Christmas

A doe to a deer

I'll be home for Christmas

And home will be here

If you're looking for me

Follow any star

'Cause I will be around

No matter where you are

I'm CCTV video late night on Christmas Eve

Window shopping in full Santa suit

Blind drunk on the high street

Never got a gift gold

Frankincense or myrrh

And never would've cared

If you could just have her

I'm Christmas morning stumbling home up

The cul-de-sac

Flanked by kids upon new bikes

Stabilizing my walk back

I'll be anything you want of me

Carrot nosed encased in snow

An angel teetering atop a tree

Vomiting from vertigo

If you'll be mine for Christmas

A doe to a deer

I'll be home for Christmas

And home will be here

If you'll be mine for Christmas

A doe to a deer

If you'll be mine for Christmas

If you'll be mine for Christmas
