When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, give us some money
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

I might, I think I'm right
Let's talk about it anyway
Oh, no, what's new
Tell me the truth
It doesn't really matter much
What do I do?

Just when I needed someone
Just when I needed anyone to be here
Just when I needed someone
Someone, someone just went away

Sun shines in my eyes
It doesn't bother me today
I might put up a fight
If this were any other day
What do I do?

CHORUS

What do I do?

CHORUS

And you never remember
But you know that it's true
Something different, something new
And you never expect it
Still it seems like it's fate
Something special, something great

Don't make me search for what's in your mind
Don't leave me guessing what I will find
Don't lead me on when you know it's through
It's all up to you

And you never remember
Who you wanted to be
Someone different, someone free

CHORUS

What I can do
Is in your mind
It's all up to you
It's all up to you
What I can do
Is in your mind
It's all up to you...

Close my eyes, try to see you in my mind
Where everything is so alive
It's the same way
Come around, you don't want to be left out
Something more has turned a
It's the same way

When you say those words to me
(I'm not impressed)
I'm not impressed
I'm on my way
Every night, every day
Can't you see, it's over now
I don't want to waste another day

Sympathy is what you always got from me
And I don't know if I can be
Just what you wanted
Close my eyes, try to see you in my mind
Where everything is so alive
It's the same way

CHORUS

It's late
Too late, it's over
Turning colder every day
I can't wait
I feel I'm fading
No more waiting here for you

I can't wait, just wait / Can anybody help me? [3x]

Every night, every day
You're in my mind, they're all away
You're always running out
But I'm still running in
Every night she falls again

Let it out tonight
Don't worry now, it's all right
Let it out tonight
Don't worry now

I don't know how, I don't know why
Isn't it real, isn't it right
You're always running out
But I'm still running in
Every night she falls again

CHORUS

And it's all right, don't you like it
Don't speak your mind
Gotta hide it in your mind
And in the end, I'm not gonna fight it
No, I'm not gonna fight it

CHORUS [2x]

Let it out [2x]
