Living It Up by Honker

[Oldrottenhead]

The 2nd tune Kenneth sent, i think the 1st one was meant to be for the Yulefest, but used this one for the fest instead. A festive song tainted by a winter election. 

It is what it is.

Putting on my best suit
Shining up my new shoes
Putting on a brave face
Hearing all the bad news
Putting up the tinsel
And the decorations
Try to squeeze the tree in
Before I have a breakdown

Wrapping up the presents
Try to get their names right
Leave out milk and cookies
Santa's got a hard life
Time to turn the lights on
Damn they aren't working
Gotta find the dud one
Afore I have a meltdown

Living it up
We're gonna have a good time
Living it up
Let's hope it's not the last time

Can't fit all the beer in
The fridge is full and then some
Cannea put them outside
It's colder than the freezer
The cans are all exploding
And now it's bloody snowing
Our friends will all be here soon
Am gonna have a breakdown

Well everyone's arriving
I hope we have enough wine
Some were not invited
But came to have a good time
We're running out of chairs now
There's even folk I don't know
Am stuck beneath the mistletoe
Am gonna have a meltdown

Living It Up

Anyway nice one.

Excellent work guys! Ken's backer (with background vox) works so well and top class job by James as always!

I like it!

Glad I didn't miss this one. It's a corker. Lyrics are great and the the heavy guitar that comes in for the chorus is brill.

Really enjoyed this one, although the lyrics show the grumpier side of Xmas  Great arrangement from Kenneth and really nice dynamics in the music. Nice clear and punchy vox from Jim, a nice Xmas present. I loved the ending as well.

Great work guys. Another Honker classic.
