Woolly Hats and Mistletoe
Woolly hats and mistletoe
replay in my mind
Look down, look in my eyes,
or am I left behind
In a corner, cardboard box,
dog's bowl full of ice
look down as I pray for you
Emanuel's head full of lice
Woolly hats and Mistletoe
Maria, Elton, Ed
Tinsel warming fingers
missing teeth, fallen head
Give a smile, show – you see
hear and value me,
I didn't want this choice
on freezing pavements in Emanuel's fallen smog
Woolly hats and Mistletoe
Maria, Elton, Ed
Tinsel warming fingers
missing teeth, fallen head
Kicked, left, broken shells
unpoached on cold streets
stealing warmth from passing feet
as children's homes replay in my mind
say good morning, I have nothing,
only teeth in my pocket
Woolly hats and Mistletoe
Maria, Elton, Ed
Tinsel warming fingers
missing teeth, life’s smog, my bed
