Christmas Is For Mugs Graham Parker Intro: | I bought a candelabra made of glass from Petticoat Lane It cost twice as much as usual but I did not complain I walked back to our cold water flat in the pouring rain But the wrapping got ruined and the glass looked stained And the tree I picked up cheap shed its needles down the drain Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs I took a bus to Camden town, began to shop around I looked for some new sex shop that I read of in Time Out I bought a gadget that the man said would make you scream and shout But it did not come with batteries and we could not find the spout Like so many Christmas presents we threw it out Now everybody's talking about the kisses and the hugs and all the little heartstrings that the festive season tugs But all I see are lager louts, shoplifters and thugs So fill mine up cause Christmas is for mugs, yes it is Instrumental:
