Cracker - Merry Christmas Emily lyrics

Merry christmas Emily

Merry christmas Emily

Emily was twenty three

Sitting on the ground

Under a dead palm tree

6th and Speedway

On Christmas day

Seemed like things were gonna go my way

But we had some good times

Drinking cheap wine and popping pills

Spending the holidays

Getting drunk at the rusty nail

Emily from a good family

They fucked* your head [* messed in the radio version]

And sent you to me

'Its a Wonderful Life'

Is playing on TV

I still think about you

Do you think about me

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

I still think about you do you still thing about me

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

Merrry Christmas Emily

It may have seemed

like i was down and out

But my insurance claim

Was still paying out

You were heading back up

While I was going down

So I reformed the band

To try to keep you around

Then we had some bad times

Drinking wine in the summer heat

A couple loud arguments

Standing in the middle of Congress St.

So there's Emily

Under the dead palm tree

Its Christmas day

And its like 80 degrees

I still think about you

Do you still think about me

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

I still think about you

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

Merrry Christmas Emily

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

I still think about you do you still think about me

(Merry christmas Emily)

Merrry Christmas Emily

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)

(Merry christmas Emily)
