Kiss Me - out-take from 'I don't wanna know'

A sombre little Christmas ditty performed by 8-year-old Indigo Welch and written by her Grandad.

GIVE A LITTLE LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS

What is this world you've given me
So much fear and sadness round every Christmas tree
Why can't all the grownups see
Every child is part of someone's family

Is this time
This Christmas time
For us to find
All the love we need to give
It must be time
This Christmas time
To change our minds
And let each other live

What is all this fighting for
The world needs many things but none of them is war
What point is Christmas once a year
If every other day is filled with someone's tears

Is this time
This Christmas time
For us to find
All the love we need to give
It must be time
This Christmas time
To change our minds
And let each other live

We shouldn't have to spend our lives just being brave
It's better to be safe than be afraid


Give a little love this Christmas
Give a little love this Christmas
Give a little love this Christmas
Give a little love this Christmas

Give a little love this Christmas - Indigo Welch (Aged 8!)

This tune shows Christmas in a less traditional light - it's not always a happy time for some people!

JUST ISN'T CHRISTMAS

Christmas spirit all around in this bar
But I need to know where you are
I stare at my drink and I think of you out having fun

It's always the same
You can't make me change
The more you accuse me the further you drive me away

It's Christmas time
Are you under the mistletoe kissing our Christmas goodbye?
They're ringing those bells again, I'm going out of my mind

All your presents are there by the tree
But I need your presence with me
This just isn't Christmas if I have to spend it alone

Oh that's not enough
There's much more to love
And I can't hold this promise forever if you won't let me breathe

It's Christmas time
Are you under the mistletoe kissing our Christmas goodbye?
They're ringing those bells again, I'm going out of my mind

Just isn't Christmas
Just isn't Christmas
Just isn't Christmas
Just isn't Christmas

I could give you everything
You could give me diamond rings
It's not things that I need
I need a little trust in me
Why don't you believe in me?
Why can't you see?

It's Christmas time
Are you under the mistletoe kissing our Christmas goodbye?
They're ringing those bells again, I'm going out of my mind
You're out of your mind
