Some days I wish the world away

I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree

Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give

He used to chase me round from London town

Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day



He's an angel with a dirty face

Sneaks away to smoke a girt

What a break from a brutal life

Stole everything but genius



What's he like? Is he real? Hold on

I don't think I want to know the answers

Often think with a drink in my hand

That you knew your words would be appreciated some way



Some days I wish the world away

I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree

Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give

He used to chase me round from London town

Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day



Christmas Day we were the best of friends

Remember we fucked up the gravy

Hadn't seen such a smile on your face

Since we harmonized a little Bing Crosby



10 Days later your girl says yes

I can't live without you, you're my man

But the Christmas song just left your head

And you flew away with a broken wing, your way



Some days, I wish the world away

I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree

Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give

He used to chase me round from London town

Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day



Disarray, you just disappeared

Now I find out you're a super hero reborn

All your life was to be special and adored

Children need you as you are

Fighting evil with your supersonic sword



Some days, I wish the world away

I wanna wash away the subtleties, burn away the Christmas tree

Best friends sometimes steal the gifts they give

He used to chase me round from London town

Christmas Day, New York, Paris, L.A., some day
