Words

Verse 1

There is tinsel on the router and it's blinking through the green
We have got a plastic tree the size of a shampoo bottle
Pilar, you hung one bauble and then said that you were done
Then you hung eleven more because you cannot leave things half
The flat smells like burnt cinnamon and we don't know why
Nobody bought cinnamon, nobody even tried

Pre-Chorus

It's the twenty-fourth, the shops are shut, the bus does not exist
We have got potatoes and a candle and a broken microwave
You said let's make it stupid, let's make it really stupid
And I said finally, somebody has said the thing

Chorus

Tinsel in the router light, blinking on your face
Worst Christmas in the building and the best one of my life
Turn the speaker up, the neighbours are away
Tinsel in the router light — Pilar, merry Christmas, stay

Verse 2

You wrapped my present in a page out of a magazine
It's a mug that says a word that is not in any language
I got you socks with little dogs, I'm sorry, they were quick
You put them on immediately, refused to take them off
We watched a film we've seen so much we say it with the sound off
And you fell asleep at nine and I just let you go

Chorus

Bridge

At two the heating clicked on like a small round of applause
The router blinked in time with something moving on the street
I thought about the flat I lived in last December
And how quiet it was, and how loud this is, and how much better

Final Chorus

Tinsel in the router light, blinking on your face
Worst Christmas in the building and the best one of my life
Turn the speaker up, tomorrow can be grey
Tinsel in the router light — Pilar, merry Christmas, stay
We will do the dishes never, we will do the tree again
Same flat, same tinsel, same disaster, same friend

Outro

The green light and the gold light and the small burnt smell
You are snoring on the sofa and I'm fine, and all is well
Merry Christmas, Pilar — I'll get the blanket, sleep some more
