Come on Mel, how about pulling a cracker?
By the look of you darling I think I already have, get it?

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
A mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling (pumpkin pie anyone?)

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear, voices singing
Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday (this is so corny)
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Wow I am in the most almighty Christmas groove
I haven't had this much fun since Two Little Boys was number one
If my friends could see me now
How do I look?
Ridiculous
You little tease
A dance, Kimberley?

Do you think we'll make it to the end of the record?
How long is that, exactly?

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
All together now
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Tra la la la la la la la la

How you gettin' on then?
Nah, that's not where we get outta my head, mate
And took me place, then?
Not now, you know I've got her wrapped around me little finger
Oh, that sounds painful, hasn't she got any friends?
Well she, yeah, but she wouldn't have any time to formally introduce you, would she?
Ah I feel like a spare bit of holly
What are you talkin' about?
Green and surrounded by pricks
Come on Melly, let's just get on with it
Here's trouble
Coming Kimmy Coo
Get lost, quick
"Coming Kimmy Coo"?

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Root beer anyone?
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

There's plenty of pumpkin pie left by the way

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Do you mind Melvin?
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way

Wow, yeah, that was fantastic
Very nice
Let's do it again, one, two, three, four
Strewth
Five

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
He overdid it with the pumpkin pie
Everyone's dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way
Merry Christmas everybody
Merry Christmas everybody

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
