From the recording Wassail!
Lyrics
Never Needed Christmas More
These days I just want to stay in bed
Curled up with my dogs
Seems no matter how much sleep I get
Each day's an awful slog
And the kitchen's dark and freezing
Makes my back and fingers ache
And every cup of coffee's cold
However much I make
And it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more
And a job that used to love me
Is now pushing me away
It's just stress and struggling overtime
Through these happy holidays
And the reporters on the TV
Just keep adding up the score
Of the dead and those still dying
In this year's holy war
And it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more
So give me innocence and miracles
Give me ornaments and lights
Give me mistletoe and stockings
Give me silent, holy nights
And bring the Messiah and Nativity
Bring the Grinch and Charlie Brown
Give me candy canes and eggnog
Please let Santa come to town
'Cause it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more
