lyrics

We can’t have the family round this Christmas
But mum hasn’t complained ‘bout a thing
She’s singing carols in the kitchen
And there’ll be leftover turkey ‘til spring

Grandma can’t work the computer
But we talked for two hours on the phone
Dad said with glee, there’s more booze for me,
And your uncle is glad to stay home

Christmas at a distance
But we still decorated the room
The children were worried that santa might not come
But he’s magic so he is immune

We can’t have the family round this Christmas
So, Mum did the shopping online
She’s reading her new book in the kitchen
Dad said, “That last beer is mine!”

We still took our walk after dinner
Dad stopped to get some more beer,
Ran into the neighbours we’ve not seen since April
And wished them a better new year!

Raise a glass for those that have left us
Raise a glass for those far away
Raise a glass to the doctors and nurses
Taking care of us every day

Christmas at a distance
But we still decorated the room
Christmas at a distance
We’ll all be together soon
Christmas at a distance,
The bells still ring out and chime
if we’re careful this season
It’s for a good reason
We can all be together next time

A retro-futuristic space-rock opera, Mission To Mars is as focused as it is eclectic. Lush orchestral jungles with oases of harmony, gritty guitars and slithering acoustics tell the story. ... more
