Silver Swans in NYC - Allo Darlin'

My Mother called me today asking when I’m coming home

«We've got a ticket for you darling from Heathrow

Terminal 3 on December twenty-three

We’ll meet you at the airport at "

Now your mother’s on the telephone from Sweden

She wants to know what day’ll suit you better

And how much time you get off from your work this year

And I know I should go home

But I don’t wanna be alone

If I stay here in the cold maybe I’ll be warm

And I really miss my family

But this Christmas I’ll be sad if I have to leave you to be with them

Baby oh, Regent Street is sparkling with some commercial Disney thing

And we’ll go dancing like drunken snowmen in Camden

Meet me in New York

Watch bands play in the K-Shop

Take photos of each other on Old East Corner

And the swans look silver in the light

And the family will gather around the tree

Old, sad uncles will have their feed

After lunch we’ll be on the beach

And the waves will carry me

And I know I should go home

But I don’t wanna be alone

If I stay here in the cold maybe I’ll be warm

And I really miss my family

But this Christmas I’ll be sad if I have to leave you to be with them

Baby I, Regent Street is sparkling with some commercial Disney thing

And we’ll go dancing like drunken snowmen in Camden

On the thirteenth of December in Sweden

Pretty girls with candles in their hair

We’d make snow angels if we were there

And the breath from our lips would frost the air
