Lyrics
And i don’t wanna play it down,
every time that we roll around.
And I know I won’t let ya down,
any time I ever come around.
In the winter storm,
want you to keep me warm,
want you to keep me safe from harm.
Do you swoon like fifty choristers all do on Sankta Lucia?
Do you light up the darkness when it’s longer in the winter?
Do you move through the people and you’re turning all their peepers?
Do you swoon, oh, do you swoon, oh, do you swoon?
You’re my flower, my poinsettia.
Set me on fire, yeah, cuz I’m letting ya.
Don’t you know, I'm way ahead ‘a ya
Don’t you know you’re my favourite colour, yeah.
[Clive]
[chorus]
How can I go to work, with ya lying in my bed?
How can I commute, writing poems in my head?
And when the night walks with heavy steps,
I’m thinking of you when the blackness descends, yeah.
I can’t forget ya, my poinsettia.
I can’t forget ya, I’m telling ya.
After a date, can we lie-in late?
Like, hi there, babe, can we hibernate?
[Clive]
Are you especially fond?
Are you especially fond?
You set my swede on fire [repeat]
Are you especially fond?
