This song needs more love -- one of my all-time favorites. The images of grotesque entertainer, the disappointed and apathetic deity, and Santa Claus, who might actually all be the same person, are wonderful and unsettling.
It also contains the second-best musical slam against Andrew Lloyd Webber -- the first can be found in Roger Waters' "It's a Miracle" ("then the piano lid comes down / and breaks his f*****g fingers / it's a miracle").
